In January 2008, the press appeared tragic news - one of the most popular young actors of our time, Heath Ledger, was found dead in his apartment. The examination showed that the artist died from an overdose of medications. He mixed sedative, painkillers and hypnotic drugs - this cocktail became fatal for the movie star "Patriot" and "Brokeback Mountain."
The deceased's father, Kim Ledger, recently spoke with reporters from the Daily Mail Australia. In his interview, he again drew attention to the fact that his son himself is to blame for what happened to him:
"There is no need to blame anyone for what happened to my son. It's his fault 100%. He began to slowly take drugs with a narcotic effect. It's very difficult for me to talk about this, because I love him very much and am proud of my child. "Read also

Burnout Syndrome
The actor's problem was that he was a real workaholic. Because of the enthusiasm for work, Heath began to take various medications that would help him to be on his toes all the time. The people around did not immediately notice this.
Instead of going to the doctor, he took a new dose of medicine and continued to work on the set:
"One day he had a serious cold. But he did not want to lie down, but continued to withdraw, despite a strong cough. I did not want to fail my colleagues - I tried to finish the film sooner. "
Kim Ledger said in an interview that his daughter Kate talked with her brother shortly before his death. She knew that Heath pampered with pills and asked him not to mix drugs. On what the owner of the posthumous awards "Golden Globe" and "Oscar" replied to his sister that he knows what he is doing and he does not have to worry about him.
