Did Heath Ledger die a natural death?

As we all know, young Hollywood superstar Heath Ledger died two weeks ago in his apartment in New York. According to federal investigators, Ledger died of a fatal combination of no less then six different drugs. This news was received in disbelief and shock in Hollywood, but claims that Ledger’s death was unintentional leaves some matter to think about.

The local authorities state that, after extensive investigation, Ledger was found to have died of a fatal combination of pain killers, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs. No less then six different drugs were found in his body, all of them were bought by Ledger with a doctor’s prescription.

It is quite astonishing that Ledger took all of these drugs willingly and at the same time. Ledger knew the risks that these sorts of medicine contain and the hazardous effect that these drugs could present for his health. But was he just ignorant or did he really took them intentionally. That’s the question that keeps America in its spell.

But now, as his funeral draws near, his family and close friends come up with another theory, they claim that Ledger’s level of drugs in his body was not high enough to have killed him. Instead they say that he died of a drug induced heart attack. His family also states that Legder showed signs of fatigue, but rather of being tired physically rather then being tired mentally or tired of life.

Since the last word hasn’t been said about this case, the only thing we can really conclude for now is that Ledger’s death is a serious blow for Hollywood and the entire film industry as another promising youngster is gone.

No U.S.-visa for Amy Winehouse

The british singer Amy Winehouse doesn’t get a visa to go to the United States. The American embassy in London refused to give her the document because of her possession of drugs in Norway last year. The rejection means that she will not be at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles this Sunday.

The spokesman of the 24-year old singer told Amy was disappointed, but she has accepted the decision and now she fully concentrates on her recovery.

She was nominated for six Grammy Awards like best album (“Back to black”) and best song (“Rehab”). Because she would normally had a gig at the awards, the organization will try to let her give a gig via a satellite connection.

The pop star is notorious for her drug and alcohol abuse. Last year she got arrested for having marihuana in Norway. She stays at a rehab in London at the moment.
