It has been more than eight years since Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment, but the scar of his untimely death still runs deep.
An autopsy would reveal a lethal combination of oxycodone, diazepam, hydrocodone and doxylamine – prescription medications – in the 28-year-old’s body; a mistake that yielded the most tragic consequence.
“It was totally his fault,” the father Heath left behind, Kim, told the Daily Mail yesterday. “It was no one else’s – he reached for them. He put them in his system. You can’t blame anyone else in that situation.”

This bloke never stops making excuses for his son's behaviour and makes a life out of riding on his son's coat tails. He had a theatre named after this young man. We all know it. He was a drug taker. Don't make it about the pressure to perform or travel. He used drugs. The sooner we can be honest the sooner we can stop enabling rich kids to get away with harmful behaviour and seek help. We are not helping when we pretend they are only taking "presecription" drugs therefore they are sanctioned. Stop enabling DAD!

Further... Since his son's death the father has led the not-for-profit
organisation, ScriptWise, which aims to prevent prescription medication
misuse. Research by the group has found almost half of Australians do
not admit to painkiller addiction because they fear judgment.
Jesus, you cant really enable someone who's been dead for 8 years... He's 'riding on his coattails' by raising awareness about the dangers of prescription drugs...What a a-hole huh?!
Did you read the article? The only thing Kim is enabling is to make sure other parents don't loose their kids to prescription drugs.
Negative comments like your's make me sad, we should support each other not cut them down.
Stop looking for stuff to be outraged about when there is nothing. Did you even read the headline?
