I found this while reading about Heath Ledger's death via sleeping pills:
He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman” franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role - his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering

I really think it may have been an accident, as there was no illegal drugs found, nor any suicide note. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't think it was done intentionally. He apparently was dating someone new (some 20 year old model from Australia) and was on the cusp of being one of THE biggest stars in Hollywood. There was never any reports of him suffering from any kinds of substance abuse problems, nor were there any reports of depression or any other type of mental illness. That being said, I've never thought it was a good idea to toy around with any kind of sleep medication and from his own statement, he seemed rather haphazard about his dosage of them. I think a doctor giving someone a prescription to that kind of medication with that kind of a flippant mentality towards them is on par with giving that person a loaded gun.

That and he was found nekkid. Call me crazy, but if I were committing suicide, I don't think I'd want people to have to deal with a dead, naked Lesley. Not that a suicidal person would really care about of world beyond their life..But regardless, not like any of us know him or anything, it still seems unintentional, which is a great disappointment.
