Mary-Kate Olsen’s attorney is blasting speculation that his client had anything to do with the drugs involved in Heath Ledger’s accidental overdose.
In a statement released Monday to CelebTV.com, the actress’ lawyer Michael C. Miller, said: “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.”
Olsen was the first person notified of Ledger’s death after her masseuse discovered the The Dark Knight star’s body in his New York apartment on Jan. 22. The masseuse called Mary-Kate repeatedly before dialing 911, police said.
In his statement, Olsen’s attorney also blasts reports that Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to cooperate with a Drug Enforcement Agency investigation into whether Ledger was over-prescribed drugs unless she is granted immunity, saying:
“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.
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.”
The Associated Press, citing an anonymous government source, reports that Olsen’s lawyer has twice refused requests to have her sit down with investigators about Ledger’s death. According to the government source, the former Full House star wants immunity or she won’t talk.
