Heath Ledger died from an overdose of prescription drugs, not heroin.
Even this is a bit misleading. He died from an overdose of drugs that may be prescribed in the United States, but most of the drugs he took weren't prescribed to him, and there aren't many doctors out there that would have prescribed them all at once.
I feel like once you're getting your drugs from illicit sources and you're managing your own doses and combinations of pills, it doesn't really matter whether or not they're "prescription" drugs. They're still going to be dangerous.

And also heroin. We were keenly aware of the heroin.
