Whatever happend, Mary Kate's keeping quiet
Mary-Kate Olsen was close to Heath Ledger

Mary-Kate Olsen is still haunted by Heath Ledger

Why she can't escape her link to the tragedy

Wednesday, 27 August 2008

Mary-Kate Olsen's link to the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger is still a mystery.

Although the official inquiry was closed on 6 August, no one’s any closer to knowing the truth of what happened at Heath's New York apartment on 22 January.

Mary-Kate's lawyer insists that she ‘had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs [painkillers Vicodin and OxyContin] found' in the actor’s home or his body, and a verdict of accidental overdose was returned at the inquest.

But why did the pretty former child-star, 22 - Heath's rumoured lover - send her bodyguards round to his flat after the alarm was raised?

The actress has been dogged by drug rumours ever since her teen years when she spectacularly fell off the rails.

In 2004 she entered rehab to be treated for anorexia and a year later was rumoured to have relapsed. Mary-Kate was also alleged to have been treated for a cocaine habit at the same time as her eating disorder, although this has always been firmly denied.

There are still many unanswered questions about Heath's death. For instance, why did the masseuse who found his’s lifeless body call Mary-Kate three times before dialling the emergency services?

And why did Mary-Kate ask investigating police for immunity in return for talking to them just before the investigation was closed for good?

Well what has became clear after Heath's death is that he was happily dating model Gemma Ward and was just renting from Mary Kate. Maybe MK really doesn't know anything about Heath's death.

Enough already. The man is dead and whoever gave him the drugs will have to live with that fact. I feel sorry for everyone involved.
