    Reading facts about illegal/legal drugs doesn't interest me... Taking them solves that problem...

    Even if your speculation were correct, your self-righteous, judgmental "concern" is really irrelevant.

    That was what I was thinking - I guess actors are going to need to think twice before sinking themselves into such dark roles. Not that Lee's death had anything to do with drugs, but still, they look eerily similar and it has the air of bad luck about it now.

    Well, if they follow the Dark Knight graphic novel, then yes.

    I assume you are talking about "The Dark Knight Returns." The movie, The Dark Knight, is not an adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns.

    If they can find the gall to picket the funerals of soldiers, I'm sure they'll find a way to disrupt this too.

    Disgraceful effort that.

    Would be surprised if the funeral is not here in Australia with his sister apparently flying over to bring the body back.

    Concur Completely.

    I've taken a healthy amount of ambien to for sleep before and NEVER felt like i was O'Ding or anything of the sort. I felt really really drunk honestly, with more of a defeated short term memory. Also, I remember I would keep thinking someone else was in the room when it was only me, or another time when it was simply me and my roommate. I agree, its hard to imagine he OD'd on just simply sleeping pills unless it was a suicide and he took assloads. In that case, wow how tragic. I hope it was more of a freak thing.

    I did have experiences where I would completely blackout. I would awaken in the middle of the night and stubbornly attempt various things, I guess because I am pretty stubbornly task oriented by nature. After awakening I tried to assemble a bookshelf once, and once tried to drive to Burger King at 3 am. I do not remember a single instance of these, and thankfully my roommate didn't let me drive.

    50 mg of ambien can be alot, but I doubt enough to kill (ESP if he was taking them regularly). Where did you get that he took '2 25mg' from? I've taken about 40 mg when I blacked out, but I don't think this drug has potential for overdose at such low doseages.

    Assuming it is accidental, I can't see how taking a few too many of these (which he likely would if he took it regularly for his hectic schedule like many busy public figures do, even Colin Powell) by themselves could take down a weak immune system. Granted pneumonia can be very serious and I don't know his condition.

    Either he was drunk, or it was a suicide.

    d*mn
    that is a pretty *****ty thing to say
    wishing death on someone . . .well . . whatever

    His death is unfortunate and sad
    but
    like others would say . . no more so than if it was some kid down the street

    No . . I was not a fan
    but
    the more I read it sounds like an Unfortunate accident

    I hope he rests in peace . . . even 'safe' medicine cause be an issue
    if not taken properly . . .

    Oh, I was just talking about the over the counter stuff like Tylenol sleepaid etc. The dose is 2 (25 mg) tablets I believe.

    I've had it. If you haven't had pneumonia, hope you never do.

    Speaking of having, shouldn't you be "having a lot of fun in the sack" instead of posting here? :D

    Its stupid, ignorant crap like this that makes me ashamed to be lumped into the same lot as people like this because of my particular beliefs.

    The original line of text of the Bible is taken from Leviticus which is one of the first books written in the Old Testament, then they supplement it with quotes from the New Testament written 2000 years later. Just another example of judgmental, fundamentalist assholes trying to act like they are the voice of God.

    Maybe somebody should point out to these people if they want to take the Bible literally, God recognizes any sin as punishable by death, from raping a child to driving 10 miles over the speed limit.

    "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

    IMO, you have a completely distorted perspective on reality. Are you actually saying that it's impossible to die from an accidental Over Dose on drugs? So, every death resulting from ingesting chemicals is suicide?

    I agree. Many, many people get sick or die every year from accidental overdoses. The most common mistake is people taking more meds than they are supposed to because they think the medicine will work quicker which is not true. You see these types of overdoses happen a lot with over-the-counter pain meds like aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen.
