Mary-Kate Olsen 'doesn't know source of Heath Ledger drugs'

Rep says the actress is cooperating with police

Mary-Kate Olsen got a call from masseuse Diana Wolozin when she found Heath Ledger's body

Mary-Kate Olsen says she knows nothing about the drugs found in Heath Ledger’s apartment when he died.

The actress, 22, was the first person contacted when Heath’s body was found by his masseuse Diana Wolozin on 22 January.

US sources claimed Mary-Kate had refused to give information unless she was guaranteed immunity from prosecution.

But her rep insists she has fully cooperated with police.

‘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,’ her rep Michael C Miller says in a statement.

‘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.’

Heath died of a prescription drugs overdose at the age of 28. He left behind daughter Matilda Rose, 2, with ex-fiancée Michelle Williams, 27.

His last complete movie The Dark Knight, in which he plays The Joker, is in cinemas now.
