The celebrated pathologist who hired to conduct a second

autopsy on her tragic son 's body has blasted the medic who prescribed the

20-year-old his killer cocktail of anti-depressants and painkillers.

Dr Cyril Wecht is convinced 's death was caused by a lethal intake of

methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro, which combined to cause a lethal cardiac

arythmia.

Now Wecht is pointing the finger of blame at the doctor or doctors who

prescribed the pills to , insisting that although they're all legal drugs,

they shouldn't be taken together.

Speaking to CNN newsman Larry Kingon Wednesday night, Wecht fumed: " You'd have

to be totally negligent to prescribe all three drugs. No way.

" I would recommend anybody not to take even two drugs that work in this fashion…

I'm sure that somebody failed to explain this to . "

Wecht also agrees with 's longtime attorney and friend, Stern,

over his admission he should have acted act when told him he felt really

tired.

Stern was with the actress/model when she discovered her son's body slumped in a

chair in her hospital bedroom - three days after she gave birth to her baby

daughter Dannilynn.

Also speaking to King, Stern said: " At one point said to me: 'Howcome I'm

so tired?' and, in hindsight, I wish I had seen that as some sort of signal. "

Wecht reveals this was a clear sign that something was wrong: " His complaints of

being tired, while… not at all strange for someone who has just flown

cross-country from LA to Miami and then to Nassau.., this fits in.

" It's a restlessness, it's a drowsiness and it is associated with these kind of

drugs. "
