Things have gotten interesting again... and if I do say so myself, I
ABSOLUTELY consider this particular development a "good thing"...
"DEA Subpoenas Heath Ledger's Death Records
The Drug Enforcement Administration has subpoenaed Heath Ledger's
autopsy records as part of a federal investigation into whether he was
over-prescribed medication, a DEA source tells PEOPLE..."
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20177120,00.html
The only snag in this part of the investigation is that, AIUI, Ledger
obtained the scripts overseas for the medications that were found in
his system, not here in the USofA. If that truly IS the case, the DEA
is going to find rather quickly that there's not much to
"investigate".
