    Elvis would have been impressed. Who prescribed all those, Dr. Nick?

    So Ledger contained more liabilities than assets?

    (bad accounting joke)

    There's no way one doctor prescribed all that, right?

    I'm really shocked that a Hollywood celebrity died of an overdose.....

    I read somewhere that a lot of the stuff had been prescribed by a Doc in London, where they shot some of The Dark Knight...

    But, a celeb can get any prescription drug anytime they want...

    no way anyone can rule this an "accidental overdose." how can "accidental" be interpreted by a medical examiner? gotta believe the report is intended for the benefit of the survivors, mostly his daughter down the road.

    what purpose is served by ruling it a suicide, when there's no note? not saying it was suicide, i have no clue. but neither does the m.e., imo.

    geez.

    One thing to remember is that we don't know the amounts. He could just have a trace of Valium and Oxycontin from the day before, etc.

    He didn't necessarily gulp handfuls of pills.
