Michael Jackson was the King of Pop who died on June 25th, 2009 at the age of 50. It was initially reported that he died of cardiac arrest but toxicology reports revealed numerous drugs in his system at the time of his death including Propofol (anesthetic), Xanax (anxiety), Dilaudid (painkiller), Valium (anxiety), Ambien (sleep), Fentanyl and Vicodin (painkiller).

Heath Ledger was 28 when he was found dead in his apartment in January 22nd, 2008. Toxicology reports show he died of “an acute intoxication of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Diazepam, Temazepam, Alprazolam and Doxylamine.” He started taking sleep meds after his role in the Dark Knight hindered his ability to sleep

Amy Winehouse, she was a good singer but she was also a junkie and alcoholic, famous for it too, so no better than the person sitting in the corner of a dingy squat shooting up, but we don’t give these people respect when they O.D in fact people couldn’t care less, so what makes them so different just because they are famous ?

Are these people the setting standard for what should be tolerated when you become rich and famous?
