He didn't take the medication the way he was instructed. No doctor would prescribe all of these drugs at the same time, and instruct him to take them all together.

According to the New York Medical Examiner's Office, which issued a cause of death statement, Ledger died of "acute intoxication" by the combined effect of six medications. "We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications," the statement reads. Ledger was found dead Jan. 22 in his Manhattan apartment.

Specifically, the deadly drug cocktail included:

* Oxycodone, also known under brand name OxyContin, a potent painkiller
* Hydrocodone, an ingredient in Vicodin, other painkillers, and some cough suppressants
* Diazepam or Valium, an antianxiety drug sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxant
* Alprazolam or Xanax, prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks
* Temazepam or Restoril, prescribed for insomnia
* Doxylamine, an antihistamine over-the-counter sleep aid sold in the U.S. as Unisom

It wasn't technically suicide, but Ledger took his own life by his own actions.
