[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] For the record, if all it takes for someone to be cast away as a "drug abuser" or "suicide" in this country is to be found dead near several bottles of medication, then you may as well pre-sign my death certificate now. Come on, people... regardless of who Heath Ledger was and what he means or does not mean to you, he's still a human who DIED for some reason. To assume that it was his own selfish fault, or however it was previously worded, just because our media (always 100% accurate, to say the least! :rolleyes: ) reported there were medication bottles near him, and then speak so harshly of him for it really upsets me. If I died of an aneurysm in my sleep tonight, I would be found in the morning lying peacefully in my bed with no fewer than 5 bottles of prescription medications on my nightstand - three of which are scheduled drugs. Why? Because that's where I keep them. When I'm sick, they are nearby. To me, it Just Makes Sense. Would that make my natural death any less natural? Apparently by the conclusions and assumptions drawn early in this thread, it automatically would - and that saddens me. I don't know how Heath Ledger died. It doesn't directly impact me, either. But the attitude about guilty until proven innocent that was portrayed in this room DOES bother me - as a person who DEPENDS on potent daily medications just to live a normal life, and then has other potent medications for my days of "flare ups," attitudes like the ones expressed here make me fear death - not the dying part, but the possibility that I could be taken out by some fluke of nature and rather than searching for the right answer, assumptions will be drawn that I simply "abused" my way to the grave or just couldn't take it anymore. It makes me sick, but I'm sure it happens. Hell, look at Elvis Presley - most of the world still believes he died of a drug overdose even though it's been public knowledge since shortly after his death that all of the substances in his system at the time of death were prescription and none were in quantities high enough to kill him. http://www.elvisinfonet.com/spotlight_howdidelvisdie.html It's much easier to pass judgment though and for some reason the dirty drama of a drug overdose is just a hell of a lot more fun to talk about than anything else that could kill a person. Have some compassion. Step out of your box. Know that until you know everything, you really don't know anything. And with that, I'm stepping out of this thread... (BTW, this was only aimed at certain people. Hopefully they are able to figure out who they are. Doubtful that they care. And I feel that it Zachariah Hollback's death is tragic, as well. Any death is tragic... not a time to cast stones.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
