"Terry Gilliam has dismissed reports that Heath Ledger was a drug addict, insisting that the actor was as &amp;quot;clean as you could be&amp;quot;.  The director was filming The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus with Ledger in London when the actor passed away on January 22 following an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.  Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on the eve of the first anniversary of his death, Gilliam said that he was frustrated by reports that the star had been abusing sleeping pills.  &amp;quot;They tried so hard to pin [drug abuse] on him, but they couldn&amp;#039;t because Heath was as clean as you could be. We know about the pills. But he had stopped smoking,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;Marijuana was no longer in his life, which he had enjoyed a bit. He wasn&amp;#039;t drinking. Nothing. This was a body that had cleansed itself for over a year of anything.&amp;quot; Imaginarium cinematographer Nicola Pecorini added: &amp;quot;He was so solid into keeping clean, it was quite stunning. I really think he died of a broken heart. I know it can sound very romantic, but it&amp;#039;s very tragic. I think that&amp;#039;s what killed him.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
