A mixture of sleeping pills and other medicines are so dangerous but they don't specify this in great detail. Only recently did a study come out that said sleeping pills can kill you and that's with the regular dose taken. I can only imagine with more taken what the effect would be.

Now that the "Dark Knight Rises" is coming out, will the Joker be referenced in the new movie? Sadly they will not be bringing up the Joker in the new movie. probably the right move based on Heath Ledger's passing years ago.
