Why they won’t just let the man rest in peace—accidental sleeping pill overdose, or not—errs on the side of tacky. Regardless, insurance company ReliaStar Life isn’t buying that Heath Ledger’s death last January was a accidental. The shallow pocketed company is still holding out they’ll be able to prove (through intimidating interviews with sources like Mary Kate Olsen) that Heath Ledger committed suicide. Thus voiding them of the $10 million payout the family is owed.

Good luck ReliaStar! The city’s medical examiner already ruled Heath Ledger’s death accidental, and while the insurance company would like to nose around for further evidence, California law “prohibits insurance firms from re-examining applications after the policyholder dies.” Which quite frankly, I suppose wouldn’t matter if they found some sort of red flag, bombshell discovery. But what in God’s name will Mary Kate Olsen and the masseuse say?
