How many sleeping pills do you have to take before you question just what the heck you're doing?
If it was something else, like an undiagnosed medical condition, I can switch the sympathy switch back on.

While I'm not sure if he was taking Ambien or not (one report has him on that), I know that Ambien has caused quite a few people to do things they aren't aware of. So for instance, he could have taken 2-3, been in a semi-lucid or comatose state without realizing it, and taken a few more and his body just shut down. Some people could probably handle 5-6 Ambien.. some people can't. I guess we won't really know until the autopsy comes out.
Also, as MSD already pointed out, if he was on some sort of narcotic with an opiate base, it's quite possible that respiratory failure was the cause.
All that being said, if he did do it on purpose, he could have at least been a real movie star and overdosed on coke and heroin. geez.
