Funeral Preparations in Heath Ledger's Home Town
Heath Ledger's father said his son's death by accidental overdose would be an enduring agony for the family and should serve as a warning to others not to mix prescription drugs. The New York City medical examiner announced Wednesday that the 28-year-old ''Brokeback Mountain'' star died from the effects of taking six types of painkillers and sedatives. His body was found Jan. 22 in his Manhattan apartment. Ledger's premature death promoted outpourings of grief from New York to Hollywood to his hometown of Perth, a small and remote city on the verge of the Outback in Australia's southwest.
