Smith's death in 2007 was ruled an accidental drug overdose of the sedative chloral hydrate combined with other prescription drugs in her system, specifically Klonopin, Ativan, Serax and Valium. She has also ingested Benadryl and Topamax, which contributed to the sedative effect of the other drugs.

7. DOROTHY DANDRIDGE. The first African-American actress to be nominated for an Academy Award, Dandridge was found dead in West Hollywood in 1965 from an overdose of Imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. It's believed she improperly combined the medication -- which she took for her bipolar disorder -- with pain medication she received after breaking an ankle.

8. DANA PLATO. The long-troubled Diff'rent Strokes star died from an accidental overdose of Vanadom and Vicodin at her mother-in-law's Oklahoma home in 1999.

9. KEITH MOON. The Who drummer died in 1978 from an accidental overdose of Heminevrin, a medication taken as part of a program to wean him off alcohol.
