chefjudy:
:( there is still a part of me that does not believe it really happened even though I know it did - but that
said, I guess this news makes it official once and for all, so unfortunate, so final, so, so sad :'( :'( :'(

Given the amount of prescribed drugs he had in his possession, I still worry about what led him to feel the need for them... again, I'm just purely worried that he might have been unhappy.
The family's statement that they recently had a nice, long visit with Heath is certainly reassuring in regards to this question.

You've summed up my feelings about his death. When someone is taking this amount of medication, there's something wrong, very wrong.
I'll guess we'll never know what was going on with him that he needed to take so much medication. And if we're all feeling so anxious about, i can't imagine what his family must be going through. And what Michelle will one day tell Mathilda...
This is such a tragedy. :'(

Yup.

They must have examined the lungs, but I don't remember reading anything about confirming that he had a respiratory infection at the time he died.

"Me neither." And it would stand to reason that if he did indeed have a respiratory infection, there would have been strong antibiotics around. An early report said that antibiotics prescribed in England were found, but I guess that was false.

EXACTLY what I have been thinking ALL ALONG.
Oh Heath, poor, poor Heath, I feel so intensely sad right now, to think this might have been prevented...
