400-408 – The death of Heath Ledger, just 28. Prescription drugs Zoloft, Valium, and Ambien were found near the body. No illegal drugs or paraphernalia were found in his well kept apartment. He was in rehab for a short stint last year for heroin addiction. His relationship with Michelle Williams, the mother of his daughter Matilda, split from Ledger in September due to his refusal to stop using drugs. Friends say he had become a depressed recluse for some time.
