22 Jan 2008 the world was shocked: one of the most popular actors of our time, Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. The results of the examination showed the cause of death was acute intoxication caused by a combination of sleeping pills and painkillers with tranquilizers. The father of the actor Kim asked nobody to blame for this tragedy.
Father Heath Ledger said, who is to blame for son’s death
Kim Ledger in a recent interview with Daily Mail Australia stressed that the blame for what happened rests solely on his son, according to the testimony of forensic experts, Heath Ledger, who died at the age of just 28 years, became the victim of a poisoning by analgesics (oxycodone, hydrocodone), anxiolytics (diazepam, temazepam, alprazolamum) and sleeping pills (doxylamine).
The father of the actor said:do Not blame anyone in this situation. It was entirely his fault – he started taking the tablets with a narcotic effect. I always found it hard to admit it, because I love my son and very proud of them.”

According to Kim, the tight shooting schedule and the dedication of the Hit contributed to the development of drug addiction:He traveled so much, he seldom had time to go to the doctor. Most often he got what he wants, not what he needs: actors always feel too much pressure regarding the schedule, it is easier to take a painkiller and continue working to regain the strength and resources of his body. The hit was the same as many of his colleagues: for example, he once caught a bad cold on the shooting, could not hold back a cough, but still worked, because I wanted to finish the movie.”
Also during an interview with the Ledger-senior said that the sister of actor Kate shortly before his death he warned Heath about the dangers of mixing drugs on the night before his death, Heath was talking to sister on the phone and she told him not to take other medications along with prescription diet drugs, to which he replied: “Katie, Katie, I’m fine. I know what you’re doing”. He did not know.”
