I really don't want to dwell on the tragic details of Heath Ledger's death. More than enough attention had been paid to those details and not nearly enough to his accomplishments or for the respect of his family to grieve in peace.

The toxicology reports have confirmed what most everyone suspected shortly after Heath's tragic death at age 28, the actor died of an accidental overdose from prescription medications. The toxic mixture of Valium, Oxycontin, sleep aids, painkillers and anti-anxiety meds were at the root cause of Heath's death.

His family wishes to be left alone, the mother of his only child wishes to be left alone — and honestly — that's good enough for me.

R.I.P Heath, I look forward to a moving tribute in your honor at the Oscars and I will happily pay homage to watching your last films.
