What a lie. Why are the press making all this stuff up about Heath and Michelle. They called it quits and weren’t on good terms. He was redoing his life with Gemma Ward and was happy. In contrast, Michelle was miserable and prevented him from seeing his daughter for months before his death.
He died accidently from mixing sleeping pills with painkillers for his backache. Anybody could do it, especially considering that the sleeping pills had the nasty side effect that made you forget you had even taken them. Plus, it didn’t help his exhaustion from having flown from Europe to Australia (where he holidayed with Gemma) and then back again to Europe to work on the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, mainly working throughout the night, and after that he flew once more (and once more different time zones to get used to) to New York. He had only been in the city a couple of days when he died, and it had alot to do with all the above, the exhaustion, the not being able to sleep etc.
Michelle was history and I don’t know why the press are trying to make her be more important to him than she actually was. She actually probably added to Heath’s sleeplessness by denying him access to his child, which kept him awake with worry.
