The Hunt Is On For Heath Ledger’s Possible Indirect Death-Enablers

The mystery behind the untimely death of Heath Ledger has now been cleaned up, but there's still just one loose end left.

As everyone knows, Heath Ledger died because of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs - and now an investigation has been launched into the doctors who prescribed those drugs to Heath Ledger.

Needless to say, this investigation won't bring Heath Ledger back, but it might get a couple of doctors struck off, which is the next best thing. Stupid doctors with their 'cures' for all these so-called 'illnesses'. Idiots.

When someone dies - especially when they die in a sudden, untimely way - it's natural to want to blame something. That's why those Australians murdered all those stingrays after one killed Steve Irwin, after all. Well, that and because some people are born so stupid that they should probably be locked in a cupboard for their own safety as much as anyone else's.

And similarly people are on the lookout for someone to focus their anger about Heath Ledger's death on. Heath Ledger's passing was a mystery for weeks - some claimed that it was a deliberate suicide, some claimed that illegal drugs were involved, and some even claimed that it might have been pneumonia.

But all of that was kicked into touch when Heath Ledger's autopsy revealed that he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. And now that's been figured out, the time for bloody-minded vengeance is upon us, with a couple of doctors who may have prescribed the drugs to Heath Ledger being first on the list to cop the blame, as MSNBC reports:

Two doctors are under investigation in connection with prescriptions disbursed to actor Heath Ledger before he died, Access Hollywood has learned. "The investigation is proceeding aggressively and can conclude from as soon as one day or several weeks," a DEA source told Access. According to People magazine, the doctors are located in California and Texas. The source could not confirm to People if any wrongdoing was involved in the investigation, saying, "We don’t know yet. The agents were there this week, and we are waiting to hear from them."

Now nobody should rush to any hasty conclusions here. As much as Donda West's death proved that everyone loves to blame a doctor - and we personally blame doctors for everything from our inability to sleep at night to the way there's never any hot water in our shower - there could be any number of logical explanations as to why these doctors prescribed drugs to Heath Ledger.

Yes, they could just be unscrupulous and unethical abusers of their profession who care about money more than the lives of their patients, but on the other hand, perhaps Heath Ledger genuinely needed all that Oxycontin and Vicodin prescribed to him. Because, you know, if anyone was in need of two different kinds of dangerously addictive and easy to abuse painkillers, it's the star of 10 Things I Hate About You, right?
