Best left unsaid?

A highly controversial article has come out from the UK Daily Mail, which makes some very strong allegations about Heath Ledger’s drug problems and how it lead to his untimely death.  It starts with the premise that Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger broke-up because of his drug abuse, which is said to have included addiction to heroin and cocaine.

A member of the actor’s “inner circle” Rebecca White, claims that Heath’s drug problem spiraled out of control recently because he thought his ex, Michelle, was gonna request full custody of their daughter, Matilda.  Leading Ledger to get more reckless than ever with cocaine and heroin.

The article suggests  Ledger and Williams who meet while co-starring on Brokeback Mountain were  a mismatch from the start:

White said: “It was this movie-set romance and Michelle got unexpectedly pregnant.  It absolutely would not have lasted if she hadn’t.  “He was a partygoer and Michelle was quite straight. But when she got pregnant, Michelle was determined to have the baby. Heath wanted to do the right thing and stick by her.”

The article also offers up a theory on what led to Ledger’s death.

According to White, “He was not the type to have killed himself. The way I hear it, he went out the night before, he was doing cocaine, he wasn’t able to sleep, and the investigators think he woke up, didn’t remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose.”

Stories like this often come to light shortly after a tragedy.  There is so much we don’t know about peoples lives and the real dramas going on.  Perhaps some things are just left better unknown. Hopefully, the toxicology results will bring some closure to all of this.
