According to an article published in the Los Angeles Times in 2003, Hedberg spent two-and-a half-days in jail, and six weeks in a hospital bed, following his arrest in May of that year for felony heroin possession. But Hedberg said he was arrested for "possession of paraphernalia and pills and things like that. My actual bust was minor. I got a misdemeanor. People used that bust to try and prove that I was busted for having, like, a kilo of heroin on me."
I'm sure it was the Horse that did him in. Can't imagine it being anything else.

Anyway, that sucks. Hedberg was practically a stand-up genius. Reading that article though I see that he's got a lot more work out there than I realized (plus he was 37?? damn!). Suppose that's a bit of a silver lining.
