After more media reading, it looks like this was a genuine accident. He was stressed and unable to sleep due to the filming of the Batman movie (said he was sleeping about 2hrs/night on average).
He then had Pneumonia - and there are known side effects of the sleeping pills he was taking (which are actually under investigation in Australia for various reasons/nasty side effects).
If he had taken one too many sleeping pills, it may have interacted with his pneumonia condition - and caused his breathing to seize up completely.
We'll know more in the coming days, assuming the police release toxicology reports (etc). If it is shown to be caused by the sleeping pills (in a non-fatal dose) I wonder if any legal or other action will be taken against the makers...
