Lawyer: 'Mary-Kate Olsen is Cooperating with Heath Ledger
Investigation' 8/5/08
Latest: Mary-Kate Olsen knows nothing about the drugs which killed her
friend Heath Ledger, her lawyer insists
Reports on Monday (04Aug08) suggested officials behind a federal probe
into Ledger's January (08) death from an accidental overdose were
targetting Olsen - but she was refusing to co-operate until she was
guaranteed immunity from prosecution.
Her name was dragged into the case because the masseuse who found Ledger
dead called Olsen before contacting the emergency services, prompting
suspicions. The 22-year-old actress' lawyer Michael C. Miller now tells
Usmagazine.com that Olsen has provided the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) with all the information she has on her late pal.
Miller says, "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."
Miller also blasted reports that Olsen faces a Grand Jury subpoena if she
refuses to co-operate, adding, "We don't know the source of the
information being quoted in the media regarding the Government's inquiry,
but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."
