Reported on NINE MSN .. Unconscious carried on a stretcher :(
Edit: Confirmed by a Epworth hospital official that Cuz was rushed to the emergency department by not into intensive care as initially reported.
Update [3.20pm]:
SEN said Cuz was moved from emergency into intensive care at 2.30pm just for observational purposes. When the hospital said he wasn't in intensive care it was because he was still in the emergency department.
Club will comment at 4pm.

Ben Cousins in hospital
* From: AAP
* July 05, 2010 12:44PM
RICHMOND midfielder Ben Cousins has been rushed to hospital after taking a sleeping tablet.
The club says the veteran was admitted to Epworth Hospital this morning after suffering "an adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet".
The Tigers will release further details once Cousin's condition becomes clearer.
The Herald Sun said Cousins was rushed to hospital with a re-occurrence of stomach pains.
Cousins reportedly awoke "with an intense abdominal complaint after suffering an adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet".
Only hours before he had played a key role in the Tigers' come from behind win over Sydney, collecting 21 possessions.
Cousins was forced to spend days in hospital in the lead up to Round 1, with doctors struggling to find the cause of the complaint.
After an interrupted pre-season he has played excellent football in recent week and has expressed a desire to play on with Richmond next season.

Ben Cousins moved to intensive care after reaction to sleeping pill
SAMANTHA LANE
July 5, 2010 - 2:51PM
2.40pm UPDATE
BEN Cousins has been admitted to the intensive care unit of the Epworth hospital after having his worrying stomach complaint assessed by doctors.
The Age has been told Cousins is in a stable condition, and that he is an intensive care bed for observation, but concern about the 31-year-old recovering drug addict is clearly high.
The Richmond onballer was rushed to hospital in an ambulance around 11.45am today and was still having his condition assessed in an emergency department booth at 1.20pm.
It was then decided he should go to intensive care.
Richmond released a statement saying Cousins had suffered from "an adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet" and that the club was awaiting further updates.
The 31-year-old was part of Richmond’s stirring come-from-behind win over Sydney at the MCG on Sunday, gathering 21 possessions.
Cousins was treated at the Epworth prior to round one for a stomach complaint that caused him extreme pain.
The Age understands the Brownlow medallist has not required treatment at the Epworth since that time.
Cousins has submitted himself to regular drug testing since the Tigers threw him a lifeline following his year-long ban from the AFL for illicit drug use.
Gerard Healy, the 3AW Sports Today host who is a mentor to Cousins, has told the radio station he spoke to the Tigers' star at 9pm last night and was 'happy and healthy'.

Craig Cameron said Cuz's condition won't be fully known for another day or so (24 hours). He's sedated while in hospital and in intensive care. All Cameron said he wasn't a doctor and all he knows is Cuz had an adverse reaction to the sleeping tablet. Cameron made it certain that nothing illicit was involved.
-
Doesn't sound great does it if he's been sedated :-\. Even if he's okay and he's just in ICU on observation he definitely won't be playing this week :(.
Got to love the journo who asked if he was intoxicated ::)

Cousins moved to intensive care
Updated July 5, 2010 16:29:00
Richmond says it will not know more about Ben Cousins' condition for "24 to 48 hours" after the former Brownlow medallist was moved to intensive care at Melbourne's Epworth Hospital.
Cousins was taken to hospital by ambulance at around 11.45am (AEST) for what Cameron described as as an "adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet".
The 32-year-old spent close to three hours in the hospital's emergency department before being moved to intensive care.
Tigers football operations manager Craig Cameron says Cousins is sedated and may have taken the sleeping tablet as part of his recovery process following the Tigers' four-point victory over Sydney at the MCG on Sunday.
Cousins was taken to Epworth Hospital in March suffering from cramps and severe abdominal pain, however Cameron says the West Coast premiership player's current condition is "unrelated" to this previous episode.
Cameron says he is unaware if Cousins consumed alcohol in the hours following the Tigers' victory over the Swans.

Cousins hospitalised

Video of press conference:
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/roar%20vision%20archive/tabid/11454/contentid/278486/default.aspx (http://www.richmondfc.com.au/roar%20vision%20archive/tabid/11454/contentid/278486/default.aspx)
BROWNLOW Medallist Ben Cousins is under observation at Epworth Hospital's intensive care unit after being rushed to hospital after undergoing an adverse reaction to a sleeping pill.
His condition is being monitored and more will be known in 24-48 hours.
Cousins spent Monday morning in the emergency department before he was sedated and moved to intensive care on Monday afternoon.
Richmond football manager Craig Cameron told the media the club doctor was contacted by Cousins' girlfriend when she had difficulty waking him on Monday morning.
“As you’re all probably aware Ben Cousins has had an adverse reaction to a sleeping pill,” Cameron said.
“This morning his girlfriend rang the club and spoke to the club doctor to let him know that she found it difficult to rouse him and it was decided to take him to Epworth hospital.
“The only information we have from the staff is that it was an adverse reaction to a sleeping pill and as I say we really won’t know more for the next day or so.”
Cameron was unaware of exactly how many sleeping tablets Cousins had consumed last night but denied the incident was suspicious.
“We’ve got no suspicion that there was anything illicit involved,” Cameron said.
“It’s definitely concerning for his health. He’s in hospital in intensive care. His condition won’t be known for another 24 hours and that’s concerning for sure and we’re worried about Ben’s health.”
Cameron admitted he wasn’t previously aware that Cousins was taking a sedative but dismissed it as being unusual.
“He probably takes one after a game I’d imagine to try and calm down and sleep. I don’t think it’s unusual for players to take sedatives or sleeping tables after games.”
Cameron said Monday's issue was unrelated to an abdominal complaint Cousins suffered earlier this year.
Cousins, who played in the 2006 premiership as part of his 238 games for West Coast, was sacked by the club in 2007 after his arrest on drugs charges - later dropped - and spent 2008 out of the game after being deregistered by the AFL.
He was picked up by the Tigers with the last pick in the 2009 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft, and despite battling injury, has played 25 matches for his new club.

I'd doubt it, Bo. Depends on his condition, as it could all be precautionary
My dad had a reaction to morphine and was on life support for three days as a result and two months in hospital afterwards recovering from something he'd had before and shown no previous problems with it.
But he wasn't a fit boy like Ben, so hopefully he's up and about soon :thumbsup

Quite common when you a dealing with a reaction to medications.
Being sedated slows the body down and as well as taking the pressure of the body trying to fight what has happened.... makes the DOctors job a bit easier in treating and analysing what's happened

I think Ch10 can join the Ch9 sensationalism circus after their pathetic "induced coma" comment, being sedated (heavily) can mean you are bascially asleep.
Fair dinkum the media are a disgrace

Induced Coma and being sedated/anaesthetic are completely separate things.

Sports Tonight on Ch 10 still saying Cuz is in an induced coma although they qualified it by saying "it's a very sedated state" :whistle. Cuz won't be playing this week.
-
Damian Barrett is still outside the Epworth saying Cuz will remain under sedation at least until tomorrow morning. He also has a breathing apparatus to help his breathing. Said Cuz took a 'No doze' common amongst footballers before the game to get him up and then a glass of wine afterwards and prescribed high-strength sleeping tablets.

Probably an oxygen mask but being the media ::)

Get well soon Benny and enjoy the rest of the year. :thumbsup

Wishing him a speedy recovery. This is such a shame. He has been playing great football. It appears the media have little idea what is going on. Hopefully the club will release another statement today.

Is soon to be released according to news reports

A simple case of the human body going into shock when your asking too much of it, then trying to shut it down ;D
This method has been around for many years.
The doctors are the problem for abusing thier powers of handing out prescribed drugs to players when they dont need them.
Not once has anybody brought this problem up. Club doctors are fully aware of what the players are doing & ignore the problem too where it is today. It is why teens are drinking mothers before games. Its rife in the TAC & lower leagues also.
Very few footballers would need sleeping tablets after a huge day of football pre-game, game, post game, celebrations, late night.
l hope this will open the eyes of the AFL drug problem :banghead But as the saying goes, There are always those who work in labs experimenting on something to get past the drug testing & developing a new method of performace enhancing.
Ben Cousins has committed no illegal offence. His just taking it too a riskier level, It backfired ;D
-
Cuz has discharged himself from hospital. So he's gone home :).
He was going to give a media statement but changed his mind after talking to the Club.

Monk do some research.
The sleeping pill has not been confirmed being prescribed you can buy sleeping tablets over the counter at a super market.
Many players take sleeping tablets in fact you'll find a majority do after night games especially interstate when they need to be be awake by 7am for a flight to return home.

all sleeping tablets cannot be bought without a prescription, u cannot buy them at the supermarket nong head
those tablets at the supermarket are just herbal supliements that help u relax not medication
only medication that can be brought at supermarkets are basic pain killer such as panadol, herron, aspirin etc and cough medicines that dont even work ,
ur info is wrong

Can you clowns actually read?
The sleeping pill has not been confirmed being prescribed you can buy sleeping tablets over the counter at a super market.
Now while we know he's taken Temazepam before, there are also reports he's changed his prescription to a new type of sleeper. This has nothing to do with buying sleeping tablets at the supermarket, but nowhere did Popelord say you could by prescription medication at Safeway.
You may as well sell Temazepam at Safeway though, it's useless stuff, get to sleep better using tic tacs.

Cousins discharges himself from hospital
July 6, 2010 - 1:19PM
AFL star Ben Cousins has discharged himself from a Melbourne hospital after treatment for a suspected adverse reaction to a prescribed sleeping pill.
An Epworth Hospital spokeswoman told reporters the Richmond player had left the hospital late Tuesday morning, but did not give any details on his condition.
It is understood Cousins insisted on discharging himself.
The hospital had indicated Cousins would make a statement, but those plans were cancelled after he spoke to the club.
A Richmond official told reporters outside the hospital the club would only release a written statement later on Tuesday.
Cousins' girlfriend visited the hospital earlier on Tuesday, leaving alone.
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/cousins-discharges-himself-from-hospital-20100706-zy10.html
UPDATE 12.30pm: Ben Cousins has been discharged from Epworth Hospital after yesterday’s drug-induced medical scare.
Hospital staff confirmed a short time ago that the Brownlow medalist had departed.
His girlfriend Maylea Tinecheff, who had been at the hospital since 8.30am today, left alone at 11.30am before Cousins’ departure to an undisclosed location.
She drove to the couple’s Elsternwick home where she spent about 10 minutes, apparently packing a bag.
When asked by waiting media about Cousins’ condition, she said “He’s good” before asking to be left alone.
Richmond FC says it will make a formal statement this afternoon.
This morning hospital staff said Cousins had spent a comfortable night in hospital.

Toxicology reports give Cousins all-clear for alcohol: report
ROBYN GRACE
July 6, 2010 - 3:03PM
Toxicology tests for Ben Cousins have reportedly given the AFL star the all-clear for alcohol.
Radio 3AW reported this afternoon results of Cousins’ toxicology tests revealed the Tigers star had no alcohol in his blood system when he was rushed to hospital yesterday.
Cousins was discharged from hospital today after treatment for a suspected adverse reaction to a prescribed sleeping pill.
3AW’s Sports Today host Gerard Healy said this afternoon Cousins had been ‘‘off the grog for a month’’.
An Epworth Hospital spokeswoman confirmed at midday the Richmond player had left the hospital and was not expected to speak to media, as had been rumoured.
Richmond officials are expected to release a statement this afternoon.
Earlier, the hospital spokeswoman said the Richmond player was free to leave and he had told staff he wanted to go home.
Cousins was no longer being sedated, his condition was stable and he had spent a comfortable night in hospital, the spokeswoman said.

Cousins released from hospital
richmondfc.com.au
3:41 PM Tue 06 July, 2010
Ben Cousins has been released from Epworth Hospital this afternoon.
“Ben’s condition improved significantly overnight and medical staff at the Epworth saw fit to release him from hospital this afternoon,” Richmond general manager of football Craig Cameron said today.
“The most important thing over the past 24 hours has been Ben’s health and the Club is pleased he is expected to make a full recovery. No decision has been made on his immediate playing future.”
Tests have confirmed his condition was the result of a severe reaction to a prescribed sleeping medication.
“Players are continually counselled on the correct use of prescribed medication and the club will continue to be vigilant to ensure players are well informed,” Cameron said.
Beyond this, Ben has requested he also be drug tested by the AFL to prove beyond doubt that illicit drugs were not involved.
The Club will not be making any further comment.

its not a conspiracy but sometimes the truth gets hidden , does anyone really know what the blood test results really were
the truth is the truth, whether it comes out or not is a different story, this is a very delicate situation

its not a conspiracy but sometimes the truth gets hidden , does anyone really know what the blood test results really were
the truth is the truth, whether it comes out or not is a different story, this is a very delicate situation
So this means zilch?
Beyond this, Ben has requested he also be drug tested by the AFL to prove beyond doubt that illicit drugs were not involved.
So this is going to be good enough?
If our arm of WADA test him and it comes back negative will it be enough?
Or do you honestly believe X that the AFL (you know the mob who de-registered him for 12 mths) and every other drug testing agency in the country is going to cover it up?
Please give me a break
The FACT that Benny has requested he be tested shows pretty clearly to me that he aint got anything to hide
Bottom line is any person can have a reaction to prescribed medication that no-one can foresee and it's a fact.

Froars little helpers are called Imovane - quarter of a tablet does me fine :thumbsup
Isn't Tamazapan an epileptic drug?
I've had Imovane prescribed to me too, make me sleep fine but it gives me a horrid metallic taste in my mouth for 3 days. Makes water taste like battery acid, so I'd rather just be tired.
Temazepam are a very mild benzo sleeper, never heard the link to epilesy treatment

he is the one who spent the night in hospital in a serious condition , not me not u, i support him 100% but this is not good
i just accept ben for what he is , an addict , not recovering, once an addict always an addict, just like with alcohol

Me too, but when you get up at 4am every day it's sometimes hard to get off to sleep when I'm supposed to, so sometimes have to take them
I must be mixing Temazepam with something similar.

I'd go to the docs and get them to try something else, there's about 20 different varieties so one will work, just requires you being a guinea pig for a while while you try the samples. The metallic taste issue only affects about 10-20% of people apparently.

Mate you could not be further from the truth! Recovering addicts of both illicit substances and alcohol often need prescription medication to ease the effects of withdrawl! Valium is one such drug! Ever heard of methodone?

I only take them occasionally, only when I'm totally stuffed, which is a lot lately, and then only a quarter to half a tab depending on how long I want to sleep. I'll see if i can get some different ones and see how they go with the taste :thumbsup

Ben has a drug problem, he says he'll have it for the rest of his life
But for crying out loud, he's done every drug test - three times a week sometimes = and deserves the benefit of any doubt
And you're dealing with someone who really wants to come out the other end and lead a normal life, and we should be encouraging him, not giving him any cause to want to go back on them. Would you do it to your own kids? Maybe you would if you could big note yourselves ::)
I think sometimes ppl want to see him fail, so they come up with crap, can't shut their mouths and do a lot of damage to an individual
We bag the media, but when some of your own do this, you're no better IMO

The media is upset Ben didn't talk to them today. Ch 7 said "he's gone into hiding" and questioning his health because he avoided them ::).

I'm sure the journos would love everyone to know where they live because the media told the public where their house was ::).

Cousins demands AFL drug test
SCOTT SPITS AND ROBYN GRACE
06 Jul, 2010 05:28 PM
Richmond football star Ben Cousins has been discharged from hospital after a visit from the club's doctor.
Ben Cousins's AFL playing future remains uncertain after the Richmond on-baller was discharged from hospital today after a severe reaction to a prescribed sleeping tablet.
And the Tigers say the 32-year-old is demanding a drug test from the AFL to show that illicit drugs were not involved in his hospital emergency yesterday.
Richmond released a statement this afternoon confirming that tests showed his condition was the result of an adverse reaction to prescription medication.
"Ben's condition improved significantly overnight and medical staff at the Epworth (hospital) saw fit to release him from hospital this afternoon," Richmond general manager of football Craig Cameron said today.
"The most important thing over the past 24 hours has been Ben's health and the club is pleased he is expected to make a full recovery. No decision has been made on his immediate playing future."
Toxicology tests for Cousins have reportedly given the AFL star the all-clear for consuming any alcohol in the aftermath of Richmond's stirring victory over the Sydney Swans at the MCG on Sunday.
Radio 3AW reported this afternoon results of Cousins' toxicology tests revealed the Tigers star had no alcohol in his blood system when he was rushed to hospital.
"Players are continually counselled on the correct use of prescribed medication and the club will continue to be vigilant to ensure players are well informed," Cameron said.
"Beyond this, Ben has requested he also be drug tested by the AFL to prove beyond doubt that illicit drugs were not involved."
3AW’s Sports Today host Gerard Healy said this afternoon Cousins had been "off the grog for a month".
An Epworth Hospital spokeswoman confirmed at midday the Richmond player had left the hospital and was not expected to speak to media, as had been rumoured.
Earlier, the hospital spokeswoman said the Richmond player was free to leave and he had told staff he wanted to go home.
Cousins was no longer being sedated, his condition was stable and he had spent a comfortable night in hospital, the spokeswoman said.
Cousins was taken to hospital yesterday morning and admitted to intensive care after he could not be roused.
His girlfriend contacted his AFL club Richmond when she could not wake the 32-year-old and, after he was examined by Richmond’s doctor, he was taken to the Epworth Hospital by ambulance.
Cousins is a recovering drug addict but Richmond has ruled out the latest incident as being related to his past.

Can you clowns actually read?
The sleeping pill has not been confirmed being prescribed you can buy sleeping tablets over the counter at a super market.
Now while we know he's taken Temazepam before, there are also reports he's changed his prescription to a new type of sleeper. This has nothing to do with buying sleeping tablets at the supermarket, but nowhere did Popelord say you could by prescription medication at Safeway.
You may as well sell Temazepam at Safeway though, it's useless stuff, get to sleep better using tic tacs.
Thank you Infamy, you've restored my faith in this forum.

X the term addict means "cannot live without" and "in need" of what ever substance or material one is addicted too.
The moment you cease needing it you stop being an addict. Its pretty straight forward common sense.
So if your a recovering drug addict, alcoholic or whatever, once you stop having the need for it you stop being an addict for it.
Just like any smoker that's kicked the habit. Many past smokers now find smoking repulsive. Thus being a recovered cigarette addict.
Thus meaning the "addict is always and addict" comment being unquestionably utter and complete bullsh!t, lizards pi$$.

Actually it's quite easy to get the dosage wrong for two reasons.
1) He was on a new medication, so the dosage is different
2) With many sleepers, its quite common for you to be in a sedated state but not asleep. So in your drowsy state you have another tablet, but have no recollection of doing it. Best practice is to put the jar or box of tablets away from your bed so you can't just reach over and have another one.

X, you are wrong! It is obvious you have no experience with addicts! Or the addicts you know are lying to you! Addicts are often prescribed medication to help them deal with the symptoms of withdrawl! The body and brain go through hell in withdrawl, ranging from cold sweats, trembling and even seizures! Medications are prescribed to counter these effects! Often addicts have an underlying condition, aka co morbidity, that requires meds. This could be depression, bi-polar, schizoprenia etc. These conditions often require meds and counselling! Depression is often accomanied by insomnia and therefore seditives could be prescribed as good sleep is essential for recovery.To not prescribe medications to an recovering addict is to set them up to relapse!

Its common sense medication mixed with alcohol doubles or triples effects of the medication
So 1-2 glasses of wine before bed would have lengthened and strengthen the sleeping tablets he took. Hence being hard to wake and woke in a drowsy sedated state.
So technically his sleeping pill went from a 6-7 hours sleep to 8-12. Trying waking someone up thats in a middle of a sleep on a sleep tablet and they are always going to be hard to wake.
To suggest there is more to the story is just stupidly incriminating and from a Richmond and Cousins supporter is just plain dumb.

Richmond star Ben Cousins swears off sleeping pills
* Al Paton
* Herald Sun
* July 07, 2010 11:27AM
BEN Cousins says he won't take sleeping pills again after a mistaken dose sparked a medical scare and a night in hospital.
Cousins spoke this morning for the first time since he was taken to hospital in an ambulance when his girlfriend could not wake him on Monday morning.
Cousins returned to Punt Rd and will train with Richmond tomorrow in a bid to play against Fremantle on Saturday night.
The star midfielder said he had mistaken the dose of prescribed sleeping tablets after the Tigers' thrilling win against Sydney last Sunday.
He would not disclose the medication, saying that was between him and his doctor, but stressed it was all "above board" and "not illegal".
"I got the dosage wrong and had an adverse effect from the medication,'' Cousins said.
"I found myself in a bit of strife and I guess it's probably a lesson for everybody, it's not just the medication that you're taking, but in particular how much of it.
"It's been a big wake-up call for me, so I was in a bit of a bad way a couple of days ago.''
Asked if he would take the pills again, Cousins said no, adding "once bitten, twice shy".
But Cousins said he didn't have a problem with players using caffeine before games.
Cousins said he had asked for an AFL drug test to clear his name because there was always "speculation and innuendo" about him because of his drug history.
He said he did not remember much of the drama that surrounded him early this week.
"I don't remember much of it, to be honest, I was asleep for much of it," he said.
"It was probably more scary for the people around me.
"I was in a fair bit of strife ... in a bit of a bad way a couple of days ago."
Cousins trained briefly and alone on Wednesday, completing a short running session and some kicking and marking with assistant coach Wayne Campbell and fitness staff member Adam Douglas.
"I've been able to tick the legs over today, I feel pretty fresh and with full training tomorrow, I'll do everything I can to convince the match committee to pick me this week against Freo,'' he said.
Asked about his career beyond this season, Cousins said he was indebted to Richmond and would push for another contract to play on next year.
"I've had a great time at Richmond," he said.
"If it ends now I'll be disappointed but I'll walk away a happy person."

Ben Cousins agrees with AFL claim that legal drug abuse is exaggerated

* July 07, 2010
UPDATE 12.15pm:
BEN Cousins has backed the AFL's insistence that legal drug abuse is not rampant in the game.
Speaking at Punt Rd oval this morning after the medical scare that resulted in him spending a night in an intensive care ward, Cousins said he had "been in a bit of a bad way a couple of days ago, but was now "feeling pretty fresh".
Cousins was rushed to hospital on Monday after the bungled use of super-strength sleeping tablets but was discharged yesterday.

When asked today whether the use of legal stimulants and downers was rampant in the game, Cousins said he had not seen them taken excessively.
"I don’t think it’s abused," he said. "I just think with stuff like that it’s important to consult your club doctor.
"It’s certainly not an illegal substance. A cup of coffee does virtually the same thing. I don’t see it a problem. I haven’t seen it abused."
He added that excessive use of caffeine would likely have an adverse effect on a player's performance.
Cousins said he had only scant memories of Monday's incident, which resulted in him being admitted to hospital as a result of what he said was taking too much of a prescribed medication.
"I got the dosage wrong and had an adverse effect from the medication,'' he said.
"I found myself in a bit of strife and I guess it's probably a lesson for everybody, it's not just the medication that you're taking, but in particular how much of it.
"It's been a big wake-up call for me, so I was in a bit of a bad way a couple of days ago.''

Cousins admits taking double dose of sleeping pills
MEGAN LEVY
July 8, 2010 - 11:40AM
Ben Cousins says he took about double the recommended dosage of tablets to help him sleep before he was rushed to hospital unconscious on Monday morning suffering from a severe reaction.
The Richmond veteran today revealed he had been taking sleeping tablets for much of his career, but on this occasion had switched to a new type of prescribed tablet and got the dosage wrong.
His comments came as the Tigers ruled the 32-year-old out of Richmond's side to meet Fremantle at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said the Brownlow Medallist was desperate to play, but he would have to wait at least until the following week's match against North Melbourne.
When Cousins was asked on Radio Nova today if he had taken double the recommended dosage of sleeping tablets, he replied: “Yeah, along those lines.”
He declined to identify what type of tablets they were, other than to say it was "not your typical sleeping tablet".
Cousins took the tablets about 2am on Monday morning, after the Tigers' thrilling come-from-behind win against the Sydney Swans on Sunday afternoon.
He said the team was "stoked" after the win and, despite having a six-day break, he headed home afterwards to recover.
"So I went home, my missus cooked me a feed, I sat on the couch and rang the world so I could try to get to sleep," he said, adding that he did not drink any alcohol.
"I was just watching the Tour de France and whatever was on TV and then when it was time to I thought 'Uh, oh, I've had enough now, I have to get some sleep'."
After taking the tablets he fell asleep on the lounge and did not remember anything until Tuesday morning, when he woke in Epworth Hospital's intensive care unit.
His experience should serve as a warning to others about the dangers of taking sleeping tablets incorrectly, he said.
"You saw what happened to Heath Ledger, and you know that's sort of a well-known person ... but it happens all the time in the community," he said.
"If you're going to go over, that's more than likely the way it will happen."
