Probe Into Ledger's Doctors!
Filed under: Drugs > Heath Ledger
Is his family cool with this??? We think they may want closure.
But, we gotta prevent something like this from happening again!
Federal drug investigators are interrogating two doctors concerning the death of actor Heath Ledger.
The docs are believed to have supplied Ledger with the painkillers Oxycotin and Vicodin. Authorities want to know if the drugs were prescribed illegaly by the doctors, one of which is located in California, the other in Texas.
On January 22 of last month, the NYC medical examiner determined Heath died at 28 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, including painkillers, anti-anxiety medication, and sleeping pills.
A law official says, "It's an ongoing investigation. It's not clear if there was any wrongdoing."
Sources say that the federal Drug Enforcement Administration has subpoenaed the medical examiner's report as part of its investigation on the doctors.
Prescription drug abuse is a serious issue. Doctors that feed into that can not be tolerated!

HEAT LEDGER MADE BAD CHOICES. END OF STORY. I BET IF HE HAD SURVIVED, HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE BLAME HIMSELF. HE SEEMED LIKE A STAND-UP SORT OF GUY BUT APPARENTLY THE WORLD WANTS TO ACT LIKE HE WAS A VICTIM OF "ENABLERS"
Just let him rest in peace already!

Who gives a fuck about this drugged out pile of shit
hahha good one Sean. And "Perez" get your facts straight! Heath died on January 22nd, the medical examiner report was made public on February 6th so he didn't determine it was an overdose on the 22 as you've stated!!
People Magazine fires back as the editor defended Christina on the People Magazine undersold. Eat the truth Perez
Drug addict OD, fact of the addiction
check out what obama has to say in this little clip…and then try to tell me he's the best thing for this country. we'll be taken over by muslim extremists within 3 months if he's elected to office. he has a very frightening cult following in this country, but people need to wake up and see what he's really about!!

Re: Jillian – quit yer bitchen and get back in the kitchen you stupid whore
Re: OMAR – sorry your one dream in life didn't work out, asshole
Drugs kill idiots….DEAD!
Oh shut up Perez. You don't know a thing about what you are talking about and if this had happened to a normal person, you wouldn't have had a second thought about it.
Whoa! If they'd said doctors in London, or NYC, or in Australia, I wouldn't have been surprised. He lived in NYC, worked in London, visited family in Oz. But Texas and California sounds really odd. I wonder if the Olsons were involved. Like with a referral? Whatever happens, I hope the docs responsible for writing those prescriptions and then not following up or monitoring or taking responsibility for it, are force fed their own drugs so they end up like Heath. The fuckers!
I think Heath was in a very vulnerable place. I think he needed help and didn't get the right kind. Yes, he made bad choices. But I think he was definitely not thinking clear. You can't think clear when you are sick, in pain, suffering from Depression and panic attacks and only getting two hours sleep a day for months! He looked terrible in a picture I saw someone painted of him. He sat for a portrait in Australia and he was so thin and exhausted looking it was scarey. I really loved Heath. I am so sad he didn't get the help and support he needed when he was in trouble. It is very sad. I hate these unscrupulous doctors. If you can't trust a doctor, who are you gonna trust when you are in trouble!
I have to give big props to the media for so successfully covering up the fact that Heath was a HEROIN ADDICT.
Seriously, it's about time!!
WTF did Heath need Oxycontin for???
I don't think he had cancer!!!
That shit is SERIOUS!
Well, i can't say i blame the doctors. Heath was a dumbass and mixed a shitload of pills together, what did he expect to happen?
I am on a couple of the pills he was on at the time of his death. Making them harder to obtain would be devastating to me and the people that actually need them and don't abuse them. Heath was a drug addict plain and simple.
Unfortunately, what a sad state of affairs. There's always the possibility that he was murdered via overdose because he portrayed a homosexual in the acclaimed movie Brokeback Mountain and it has been covered up. Rest his soul.
It may have been an accidental OD, but he intentionally was abusing drugs and doctor shopping. He played; he paid. No one to blame except Ledger. But of course, the rich and famous never accept responsibility for anything.
NO WONDER THE AVERAGE GUY ON THE STREET CANT GET ANY PAIN RELIEF,AFTER ALL THE CELEBS O.D.,DUII,ETC..THE REST OF US WITH PAIN GOTTA SUFFER CAUSE DR.S ARE AFRAID TO KICK DOWN SOME DECENT MEDS BECAUSE CELEBS HAVE MADE THEM ”NOTORIOUS”.
It's "Oxycontin", not "Oxycotin".
That is all.
Re: Annie – i have to agree here.. why did he need oxycontin? after i had SURGERY once they put me on a painkiller that contained Oxycontin. And the doctors even warned my parents how it can be addictive… and once the pain from SURGERY stopped they told my parents to take me off of it … why the hell would the doctors put him on that? if he wasnt in any physical pain he should never have been perscribed that.
I completly understand that the family would want closure but this is a very serious subject that alot of people overlook. My father is an addict and sees many different doctors (I mean like 15) to get the drugs he needs. My family has tried to bust the doctors but because of HIPPA laws it is so hard. By them investigating on Heath's case because of his fame, maybe it will become a serious issue and something can be done to stop it.
Perez's comments piss me off. "Is his family cool with this?" Who the hell cares! Famous or not, nobody is above the law. Just as you or I wouldn't get special treatment, neither should his family. Though, I have a sneaking suspicion they already have. I believe Heath was actively playing many doctors to get the meds. He knew exactly what he was doing and what he was taking.
these people aren't like you or me. they have huge amounts of dough, and are well-connect to 'Dr. Feelgoods' that will write them scripts for narcotics for $$. it's not that easy to get scripts for oxy and other narcs, and also benzo's like valium or klonopin or whatever. he was doctor shopping, going from one to the other. the olsen skeletons probably referred him to their own Dr. Feelgood, you know those chicks are on all kinds of amphetamines like ritalin or adderall to keep them so thin. like alot of kids today, they probably grind them to powder and snort them. its a shame, but none of this is suprising. and yes once the screws start turning eventually these meds will be harder to obtain for people who really need them.
