Doctors Cleared In Ledger Prob
Filed under: Drugs > Australiastic > Heath Ledger
As we mentioned yesterday, Federal drug investigators were interrogating two doctors concerning the death of actor Heath Ledger.
As of today, agents have ruled out any wrongdoing on both of their parts.
The doctors are not the source of the drugs OxyContin and Vicodin found in Ledger's system at the time of death.
Where'd he get them then????
Agents determined the physicians were responsible for prescribing Heath other medications, but they were not the prescribers of the main drugs responsible for his accidental overdose.
The investigation continues.
Please, kids, don't abuse drugs of any kind!

SPELL CHECK YOUR FUCKING ENTRIES!!!!!!!!!
You want to be a media mogul…well most of the media moguls in the world can S-P-E-L-L and use grammar correctly.
And "Please, kids, don't abuse drugs of any kind!"…? So says Crystal Queen Perez…hah!
first
We really need to step up education of prescription drug interaction and abuse in this country. I for one am not aware of all the consequences of taking multiple medications and I know a lot of other people who are not concerned or worried about taking a couple of vicodin with some other drug.
=( so sad
oh lord
didnt they find pill bottles at his place? any of them oxycotin or vicodin? THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE DRS NAMES ON EM..if not maybe mary kate shared hers with him
Again proving, going further back than the Kennedys', that Doctor/Rx shopping is OK… The left hand MUST know what the right hand is doing… Wake up, Folks!!! ESPECIALLY YOU IDIOT "PRACTICING" DOCTORS THAT ARE, IN FACT, NOTHING MORE THAN ENABLERS!!!
Hey, Perez, I have some sex tapes for you if you will give me celebrity scoop. You're into that right???? Cause I'm just saying, you are a lead-in story on abcnews (dot) com. You pervert.
OHHHH BULLSHIT….you do not care about us doing drugs….Let it goooooooo
Dude, just leave him the fuck alone. Let him rest in peace, and quit gossiping. It's done and over with.
We know who gave him the oxycontin and other pills. tee-hee
everyone gets them from the internet. This is a huge problem that the government doesn't talk much about. Rather than punish the people that buy them they have been going after legitimate drug wholesalers who sell to pharmacies that fill order for internet companies
Good, now they can focus on the REAL culprit: Mary Kate Olsen aka "Midget Head Killah'"
DUH…. He did it to himself. He knew that he was abusing drugs… The mother of his child even left him over it. It was also known that he was going to other doctors to get different drugs which is a sign of addiction. So I'm not surprised and neither should anyone else be.
Even if the docs had individually prescibed the pain killers, no one doc prescribed for Heath to take all of those meds at the same time in an undisclosed quantity. Anyone who takes all of those together is taking a risk. Its called Personal Responsibility. And it was an accident, a mistake, sadly, that Heath made. Doctors shouldn't be held liable for a person's mismanaging or self-medicating.
Doesn't anyone think they should check if MaryKate Olsen has prescriptions for either OxyContin or Vicodin???? Maybe that's what they needed to get out of the apartment before Heath's body was found by police. The Rx's were probably in her name!!
HOW CAN THE DOCTORS BE CLEARED OF ANY WRONGDOING WHEN THEY OBVIOUSLY MISSED THE SIGNS THAT HEATH WAS EITHER HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN OR WAS BI-POLAR?????
OVERDOSE WAS INEVITABLE BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO SELF MEDICATE….POOR HEATH.
THOSE DOCTORS NEED TO BE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE!!!!
Investigation? What's there to investigate? Leave him and his family alone. As far as where the drugs could've come from…come on! I could get Vicodin or OxyContin without a prescription within a half an hour if I wanted to. I'm not sure why this incident is so "shocking" to the police.
For all of you uninformed and lucky to have healthy bodies out there: do not presume to understand the concept of medicine. A person in chronic pain and in need on OXYCONTIN or another narcotic pain medicine takes it to be a functioning and normal human being. Yes, NORMAL. A person in pain has to adapt and find a new normal for them. Much like a person who is insulin dependent, if they do not personally regulate their medication or communicate with their doctor, they might overdose and die. But the function and benefit gained from pharmaceuticals is brilliant and life saving compared to lives lost. If a person is an addict, thats an entirely separate issue to be addressed, but it should NOT keep those in need of prescription medications from having access to them. Go to a burn ward and imagine living through the pain without narcotics and sleep aids. Imagine trying to get through the pain without wanting to commit suicide while the purpose of the medications that can save a person's sanity are withheld. OPen your mind and assume the person prescribing and the person taking have the BEST OF INTENTIONS. Those whole fall to other than best of intentions will pay their own price in time. Its not for anyone else to say what another person is enduring and what they should have access to. We don't need strangers being "big brother". This country and life is about personal freedom and personal responsibility.
He probably got them from that hobitt Mary Kate!
Re: Kate – All you have to do is read the label. Ledger took these drugs in combination with each other to get high, not for any medicinal purposes. The only one responsible for Ledger's death is Ledger.
I read somewhere that he had 6 prescriptions in his room and that some if not all were European issued. At least two of the meds he was a taking are not FDA approved for sale in the US. Methinks he was doing a little doctor shopping in the UK. It's unfortunate that he was addicted to that stuff and unfortunate that docs are too ready to throw pills at a person instead of trying to figure out what is causing the depression or anxiety. Sad all the way around…
Wow, I am shocked - SHOCKED!!! - to discover that people in and around Hollywood might have easy access to drugs, even those that haven't been prescribed to them.
I can't imagine how that could happen.
Unfortunately, yes, this beautiful, gifted, blessed, talented young man did it to himself, BUT HE DID NOT DO IT ALONE BY HIMSELF!!!!!!! The doctor(s) should have been more concerned with his health/well-being & NOT having him for a patient!!!!!!!
that's because the doctors didn't prescribe them. Everyone in new york knows that Mary kate olsen, or whichever one of them it was, are the biggest pill dealers in town. Anybody celeb who wants pills go to them…that is why the housekeeper and massuer called her……………….eventually it will come out.
my guess is the other olsen twin

UM HELLOOO!!!! OLSENS!!!!!
I really wish his family/friends would have gotten him some help before all this happened. Someone had to of noticed that he was going downhill, I mean his pictures say it all. Yes, he died as a result of drug use, but there is a reason behind everything, he couldn't deal with his issues, so decided to get an 'out' and that cost him his life, and his daughter a father. I feel so sorry for people who don't get the help they need. People who do drugs or whatever they choose to 'make the pain go away' are dealing with soo much more and I hope and pray that his death makes everyone aware that if you're dealing with any depression, GET SOME HELP! In the end…Yes, he did this to himself, it's so very sad. I just hope he has found the peace that he was so obviously looking for.
He was one of my favorite actors…and I hardly like any. Going to miss him making good movies…can't wait for the Dark Knight!
Do you know what?? Not one of you knows what what was going through that guy's mind at the time. Nobody knows whether he was intentionally mixing the drugs or whether it was a terrible accident. I have done it myself when in dire pain and have been unable to wait the 4 hrs until my next dosage. The guy had travelled from the UK with a respiratory infection. Perhaps he just didn't realise the stuff was still in his system. Perhaps he was depressed and was self-medicating. My point is we'll never know so stop fecking making assumptions when none of us are in possession of the full and accurate facts
Perez I'd think a faygula like yourself would know how to spell "probe."
Uh, who gives a shit? He's dead, he's the only one responsible, nobody forced him to swallow pills. Everyone always wants to blame someone else for their problems. He was a stupid druggie who paid the price. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last. Take responsibility for your own actions and get your head out of the the denial sand.
He was so handsome, look at his face..such a waste of a life. It's so sad that he was so unhappy that he needed all those meds to get through a day.
JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE HE IS GONE AND NEVER COMING BACK… LET HIM REST IN PEACE
LOVE YOU HEATH RIP!!
I fail to see whats is so strange about Heath having these drugs except for the Oxycontin. Lots of people have Vicodin and sleeping pills or antianxiety If they investigated the Drs nobody would be able get help for insomnia or anxiety or depression or pain. I have cancer and I have all the pills Heath had .
Just to let you know, oxycontin is ONLY perscribed for extreme chronic pain, like people on chemotherapy or those who have been in a debilitating car/motorcyle accident. NOT even a previous surgery will get you oxycontin, they give you about a month supply of low dose vicodin. Any doctor who perscribed OC to a perfectly healthy person for minor pain, is doing it illegally.
So, it was "accidental" with A LOT of help from drugs NOT from the doctor. Sorry, but "prescription drugs" not from the doctor are just as bad as illegal drugs. I LOVED Heath…but people who think they can mix so many hard drugs as once - COME ON!
you people are dirty the ones that are talking about him
because that man just died and you people want to talk
about him.how would you people feel if y'all were famous
and you died and people still talked about you when you died.
mabey that man had some problems and he wasnt thinking
at the time and took the two pills ant the same time or he could
of been drunk y'all some diry people.
um…mabey you know who gave it to him, not saying any names , but perhaps a female?
He probably got them from mary kate olsen and that's why she threatened the papers and the police so much to not have to be questioned by the police, think about it if her name was associated with drugs in the mainstream media she would have mothers across the country boycotting her goods because its no example for children. Losing sales for her and everyone who works for her lawyers. Managers, agents. Not only that but if she was involved with heath even as a friend and neigthbor how can she be already at the clubs and fashion shows, she has no inkling of mourning because she only cares about partying and staying numb in her drugs, not healthy behavior for her either, I find it disgraceful the ny police did not question her even with her powerful lawyers she should be questioned its not right!
Probe not Prob fatass
can we let this guy rest in peace…god seriously
**except weed**
My logic of thinking concerning this matter is one of deep concern for society. Drugs..Drugs…Drugs. We can't obviously stop people from obtaining these substances, because as a nation-we do not try hard enough.
Heath was an excellent, talented young man. Everyone knows this.
So why are some of you dealing with whether or not he was, you can't bring him back from the dead-what do you have to gain by slowly diminishing his achievements. Let him rest in peace.
Perez, keep doing what you do!
duh mary kate olsen supplied them!!!! wake up dumbasses
Please Perez, learn to fucking spell. You look like an idiot when you misspell common words.
THE HOUSEKEEPER KNOWS! HE PROBABLY GOT THEM FROM ONE OF THE SISTERS.
I would almost bet that Mary-Kate Olsen gave him those drugs and that'
