Newspaper
Claims Mary Kate Olsen Threats 1/28/08
Mary-Kate Olsen's lawyers have been accused of "threatening"
a newspaper editor who called for her to be quizzed by police over Heath
Ledger's death.
The New York Police Department has decided not to question the
21-year-old, despite claims the masseuse who discovered Ledger's body
called the actress in California a number of times before contacting
emergency services.
Olsen reportedly arranged for security guards at her nearby apartment
to race to the scene - nine minutes before an ambulance was called.
New York Post editor-in-chief Col Allan claims Olsen's lawyers
contacted him as soon as the newspaper linked the actress with Ledger's
death - and speculates they may have put pressure on the NYPD to eliminate
the actress from their enquiries.
He says, "Almost immediately after the tragic passing of Mr.
Ledger, Ms.
Olsen's attorneys began emailing us threatening messages. We find it
strange if Ms. Olsen was not questioned at all.
"The New York Post will not be pressured, and we find it off that
the chiefs at the NYPD appear to be terrified of 4-foot-11 inch, 90-pound
Mary-Kate-Olsen."
