It was deemed an accidental death and the more I hear about it from people of the set the more I believe that to be true. Besides let me put it this way: do you have acting experience? I do and as an actor you sometimes have to go places that are dark, and say and do things that you yourself would never say or do, but you do them anyway as the character to make the film/the play/the show work. You wear it like a suit. And then you take that suit off after you're done with it. And you go home and be yourself.
I think even Christian Bale said the the mere thought of Heath Ledger having killed himself because of the role was offensive to actors. And I gotta agree there.

but more I've heard is that he couldn't get out of the roll he completely and he OD'ed on sleeping pills. if the character he was playing was messing with his head that much that he had to keep taking pills to sleep then I'd say it makes sense why he did die. killed himself or not. . .
