Did Mary-Kate Olsen give Heath Ledger the OxyContin that killed him?
Mary-Kate Olsen has refused to be interviewed by federal investigators probing the accidental drug overdose death of her close friend Heath Ledger unless she receives immunity from prosecution. Mary Kate Olsen has always been secretive about Heath Ledger’s death. People speculated they two were dating, but could there be more to the story? New York Post is reporting that the young actress is refusing to speak with federal investigators as part of their probe into Heath Ledger's death without being first granted immunity from prosecution. During the initial investigation, the NYPD didn't interview Olsen although her masseuse found Ledger's body, and instead of calling 911 when she got the call from her masseuse, Olsen told her bodyguards to go Ledger's apartment. Yeah, the feds want to know that the fuck was up with that. But Mary-Kate’s lawyer has repeatedly refused attempts by the Feds to question Olsen.
The actress' lawyer has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by the feds to question Olsen, who was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger's body in his SoHo apartment in January. Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel the funky "Full House" actress to tell them whatever she knows about the "Dark Knight" star's behavior, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning, according to sources."
The crux of the federal investigation is exactly how Ledger obtained the OxyContin found in his room without a prescription. Everyone has been cooperative, except for Olsen:
Ms. [Michelle] Williams was extremely nice and cooperative," a source said. Another added, "Everyone has been very eager to help, saying what a great guy Heath Ledger was, everyone except Mary-Kate, who has refused to speak." That source explained that Olsen would be the final witness they need to conclude their investigation into where he got his drugs and medicines. Ledger - whose performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" has ignited Oscar buzz - died of a potent cocktail of prescription drugs and OxyContin, the latter of which was likely obtained illegally."
Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to be interviewed by investigators about Heath Ledger's accidental overdose until she's granted immunity from prosecution. What is Mary-Kate hiding that would make her fear prosecution? Did Mary-Kate do something illegal that resulted in Heath’s death, or did she not call for help that could have prevented Heath’s death? I don't want to jump to conclusions here, but if you're running short on OxyContin or cocaine, you could have worse ideas than calling Mary-Kate Olsen. That is of course if her role of "tampon" in the women's prison play doesn't create any scheduling conflicts. Click on pictures to enlarge.
The lawyer for Mary Kate Olsen has repeatedly “shot down” attempts by the feds to question Olsen, who was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger’s body in his SoHo apartment in January.
Federal investigators have been frustrated with Mary Kate’s refusal to talk, and could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to force the “Full House” actress to tell them whatever she knows about the “Dark Knight” star’s behavior, his possible drug use and the events of the morning Ledger died.
Investigators have already interviewed everyone close to Heath Ledger and his death, including his doctors, the masseuse, bodyguards, housekeepers, business associates and even the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his “Brokeback Mountain” co-star Michelle Williams.
“Ms. Williams was extremely nice and cooperative,” a source said.
A source confirms, “Everyone has been very eager to help, saying what a great guy Heath Ledger was, everyone except Mary-Kate, who has refused to speak.”
That source explained that Olsen would be the final witness they need to conclude their investigation into where he got his drugs and medicines.
Heath Ledger, whose performance as the Joker in “The Dark Knight” has started Oscar buzz - died of a cocktail of prescription drugs and OxyContin, the latter of which was likely obtained illegally.
Some sources close to Ledger say he was taking these medications because of his insomnia. Many speculated he had gotten so into his “Joker” character, that it was affecting him personally.
Heath Ledger’s death was ruled an accidental drug overdose by the medical examiner.
New York Police Department investigators closed their questioning without interviewing Olsen because, they said, they got all the cooperation they needed from others. Their decision, however, surprised some observers, considering Olsen’s role as a potential witness.
Many people found it strange that after getting the call from her masseuse, Olsen telephoned her bodyguards in New York, telling them to hurry to Ledger’s home, where they arrived just as paramedics got to the scene.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration, which opened an investigation to determine the sources of Ledger’s drugs, was not as easy-going as the NYPD about talking to Mary Kate Olsen.
The feds contacted her lawyer, Michael Miller, several times recently seeking her cooperation, but Miller has told the feds Olsen won’t be interviewed unless she gets immunity, exercising her constitutional rights.
According to sources, all of the drugs in Ledger’s body and discovered nearby in prescription bottles were legally obtained from two physicians, except for the oxycontin, a powerful painkiller.
Investigators “are trying to ID the source of the OxyContin,” a source said. “Did it come from a dealer, from a friend? If he had a bottle from a friend, was it taken by someone else before police responded? That is what is trying to be determined.”
DEA investigators were also aggressive with the NYPD, the sources said, and were forced to threaten to obtain a grand-jury subpoena before receiving the Heath Ledger files.
An NYPD spokesman said the department never balked at handing over the files and did so after receiving a routine federal administrative subpoena.
When questioned about asking for immunity for his client, Mary Kate Olsen’s lawyer said, “We are not going to comment on whether there is a criminal investigation,” and would not comment further.
Most of us baffled by Mary Kate Olsen’s request for immunity wonder what she is hiding? Did she tamper with the crime scene? Or was she the one that gave the Oxycontin to Heath? Or was there a romantic relationship she doesn’t want discovered?
Mary-Kate Olsen doesn't know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him, and has already provided investigators with "relevant information," her lawyer says in a statement.
"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," said the statement from attorney Michael C. Miller on Monday.
Federal agents have identified the two doctors who prescribed Ledger the drugs that were found in his home at the time of his death, however, they still don't know how he obtained OxyContin, a powerful painkiller that showed up in the actor's autopsy. New York Police Department officials closed their case without talking to Olsen, but the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reportedly wants to speak to her regarding her involvement with the actor.
