"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone..., Diazepam, Temazepam, Alprazolam, and Doxylamine," said an announcement released Wednesday morning by office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove. "We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications," the two-paragraph statement said in its entirety.
