Heath's dad Kim, released a statement on behalf of the Ledger family concerning his official cause of death. It reads:
We remain humble as parents and a family, among millions of
people worldwide who may have suffered the tragic loss of a child. Few
can understand the hollow, wrenching, and enduring agony parents
silently suffer when a child predeceases them. Today's results put an
end to speculation, but our son's beautiful spirit and enduring memory
will forever remain in our hearts.
While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the
combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy.
Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of
combining prescription medication, even at low dosage.
Our family enjoyed an extremely happy two week visit with Heath
just prior to the New Year. Those recent precious days will stay with
us forever. We as a family feel privileged to have some of his amazing
magic moments captured in film. To most of the world Heath was an actor
of immeasurable talent and promise. To those who knew him personally,
Heath was a consummate artist whose passions also included photography,
music, chess and directing. We knew Heath as a loving father, as our
devoted son, and as a loyal and generous brother and friend.
We treasure our beautiful granddaughter Matilda (to our dear
Michelle) as well as an unbelievably wonderful network of close
friends, forever, around the world. Families rarely experience the
uplifting, warm and massive outpouring of grief and support as have we,
from every corner of the planet. This has deeply and profoundly touched
our hearts and lives. We are eternally grateful.
At this moment we respectfully request the worldwide media allow
us time to grieve privately, without the intrusions associated with
press and photography.
