Police Won't Question Olsen About Ledger
NEW YORK (AP) ―
New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says Mary-Kate Olsen will not be questioned by detectives about Heath Ledger's death.
"There's absolutely no indication investigators were going to speak
to Mary-Kate Olsen," Kelly said at a news conference Sunday, echoing
previous statements by police officials. "They determined that they had
all the info needed from witnesses who were on scene: That's the
cleaning woman, the masseuse."
Ledger's masseuse, Diana Wolozin, found his body Tuesday in his
Manhattan apartment. She had an appointment with Ledger, who starred in
"Brokeback Mountain" and other films.
Police have said Wolozin made three calls to Olsen before dialing
911 for help, then phoned the 21-year-old actress a fourth time after
paramedics arrived.
At some point during the calls, Olsen, who was in California,
summoned her personal security guards to the apartment to help, police
have said.
Olsen hasn't spoken publicly about the calls. She has only said:
"Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with
his family during this very difficult time."
The cause of Ledger's death will not be known for at least a week,
after medical examiners complete toxicology tests. Police have no plans
to charge Wolozin; state regulators could discipline her if it turns
out she did not have the proper license to practice massage therapy.
Authorities suspect a possible drug overdose, but nothing conclusive
has been determined. Several prescription drugs were found in the
Manhattan apartment where Ledger's body was found.
