I don't think I would go that far.
"In talking with Interview magazine after his death Ledger's former fiance Michelle Williams also confirmed reports the actor had experienced trouble sleeping. "For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia. He had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning, turning – always turning."
"Williams began dating Australian actor and Brokeback Mountain co-star Heath Ledger in 2004 after meeting on the set of their film."
So he had been dealing with insomnia since at least 2004 and using a lot of medications to help with it.
"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine."
One sleepless night he decided to up the dosage and that was his mistake.
The role of the joker may have played a small part in his death, I'll give you that.
