There's a long thread on this in the astrology section very close to the top of the list. We're all sad about his passing.

From what I read they are not certain at this time if it was a suicide. He had given an interview recently where he stated he had been having difficulty sleeping and the pills perscribed for it only worked for an hour. He stated in the interview he was very tired and getting worn out due to the lack of sleep.

So it is possible that it was an accidental overdose.

Yes, I have Natal Mars @24 Gemini too. But the other transits didn't come next to my eye.

I had a friend commit suicide [he was a coworker] 6/13/06 GValentine said something about Sag degrees and a proposed sag ASC. I need to go back and read that, as Sag figured prominently [death chart and natal] and a natal Scorpio Stellium in my lost friend.

I guess I use astrology to try to make sense of horrible things...it eases the mind to some small degree. Ultimately we are the drivers of our little cars.

Actors are just that- actors; no more special than you and I.

Yes, he sounds like a wonderful person, but I did not know him personally.

I just think its a shame that so many of these people in the industry destroy their worthy lives with these destructive, recreational drugs.

Recently, a British children's tv presentor was sacked and arrested due to his girlfriend dying of a drugs overdose in suspicious circumstances, they think.

For goodness sake, I wish people would stop putting CRAP into their bodies. There are FAR better, NATURAL highs!

Doctors prescribe medleys of drugs and if you take *anything* over the prescribed dose, it is considered an overdose. People don't always use correct judgement and caution when they don't feel well and may resort to taking more than what their prescribed meds state is the correct dosage.

There is a lot of speculation and gossip in the news and people should not jump to judge!

Emily, maybe someday there will be someone famous who loses their life who YOU may be affected by!

YES I do care a lot about the 4 million children in Africa who are orphans and the thousands of others who are butchered to death and displaced from their homes. In fact, that is why I had "Luwalira" on my top friends, to give awareness to that!!! OKAY!!!!

YES I DO CARE about the family in my county who's car was hit by a drunk driver; teh mother died, the father is in ICU, the 2 year old child has a broken foot, leg and other injury, and the other young child is in a body cast. OKAY YES I DO CARE!!!!!! I THINK ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME BUT I DO NOT HAVE THEIR PICTURE TO POST ON MY WEBPAGE!

Because I tend to dwell on the dark side of life quite a lot, I can come across as a bit cold and numb sometimes.

I tend to be very loud mouthed and outspoken when it comes to the issue of equality and the concept that all souls are beautiful and equal, whether or not they are rich and famous with super looks or whether they are poor and lack physical "symmetry".

I get over zealous when I get onto such subjects because I feel so strongly about the lack of justice in our society when it comes to values and the issue of equality.

It was not meant to be anything personal.

Heath Ledger's Accidental Overdose -- The New York City Medical Examiner's office says actor Heath Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription medications.

Police found bottles of anti-anxiety medications and prescription pills in his bedroom in SoHo where he was found dead on January 22.

Ellen Borakove, the Medical Examiner's spokeswoman, says "Ledger died as a result of the acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine."

The drugs are all generic names for OxyContin, a painkiller; Valium, Xanaz and Unisom. Ledger also had ibuprofen in his system.

Ledger, 28, had complained about the difficulty he had sleeping while filming the last film he would appear in, "The Dark Night."

A massage therapist found Ledger dead in his apartment. Her next steps have been questioned: she called actress Mary Kate Olsen three times before calling 911.

Ledger's family in Australia released this statement: "While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."
