Mary-Kate Says She Knows Nothing of Ledger’s Drug Use

Mary-Kate Olsen, of the Olsen twin fame has had her attorney issue a statement to put all investigations regarding her involvement in Heath Ledger’s drug habits to rest.

Michael Miller quotes, "Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them. Regarding the government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed.”

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead on the afternoon of January 22nd in his apartment in Manhattan. Signs pointed to an accidental overdose or a suicide, although according to police reports no note was found.

DEA investigators suspect the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone found in Ledger’s system were obtained with phony prescriptions or other illegal means.
Ledger died from a combination of drugs which also included legal anti-anxiety medication and sleeping pills prescribed legally by doctors in California and Texas.

According to the police, a masseuse arrived at the fourth-floor apartment of the building, in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of the bedroom Mr. Ledger was in. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with sleeping pills both prescription medication and nonprescription on a night table. They attempted to revive him, but he did not respond.

The masseuse is said to have spend nine minutes making three separate calls to Olsen before calling 911. He called her again after paramedics arrived. After getting the calls, cops say Mary-Kate sent her bodyguard check on the situation.

Mary-Kate and Heath were casually dating for three months before Heath’s death, but neither of them was particularly interested in making it exclusive.

Olsen’s lawyer Michael C Miller has already twice declined requests from the Drug Enforcement Administration to speak to the actress, claiming his client had nothing to do with the drugs.

Authorities are ready to subpoena the actress to appear before a grand jury if negotiations with her lawyer fail.
