And so he took 2 more Ativan shortly before he died. He killed himself before they had time to matriculate through his body. He was exhibiting motor control problems throughout the show.
Also, the seven drugs in his system were more likely to cause a mixed drug intoxication death like Heath Ledger than to encourage him to deliberately lock his bathroom door and hang himself.
In the end, with apparently no note, who really knows what made him do it? It's sad.

yea I mean, I think I'm probably the most severely depressed person of all the people that I know, but I'm not literally walking around like a dead eyed zombie every minute of the day. hell there are even days where, god forbid, I'm laughing hysterically til I feel dizzy or tear up. But it's a general feeling that you always at SOME point in the day eventually get back to, and at any given moment I can have some incredibly dark, dark thoughts of something in particular sorta guides me there.
on another note though, that's curious about the toxicology, I hadn't heard the whole thing before. The blood and/or urine was done soon enough after death so that it picked up on the Naloxene (the opiate inhibitor) from the EMTs, but it didn't pick up any actual opiates at all? I mean you can be given nalexone to reverse a possible overdose, but it's not like it 100% immediately removes all opiates from your body. They could still show up on a drug test done soon enough after whatever your last dose was you took, whether pills or IV.
