Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to help any further with a federal investigation into the death of Heath Ledger until she is granted immunity from prosecution.
Olsen has already told authorities that she has no idea where Ledger obtained the prescription drugs that led to his accidental overdose. She also provided a timeline of events leading up to Ledger’s demise. Olsen’s attorney has issued the following statement, saying that the actress has provided authorities with sufficient information:
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."
Olsen and Ledger were close friends, and it was rumored they had been dating at the time of Ledger’s death. I can understand why she might not be overly thrilled to discuss his death at great lengths. I’m not a federal investigator but it might be time to let this case go. Ledger overdosed, possibly on purpose but most likely accidentally. Either way it’s a terrible tragedy, and there are a million more pressing things they could be investigating. I’ll give the authorities the same advice my friend gave me when I found out the girl I hooked up with on spring break might have actually been a guy: “Sometimes it’s best to let things remain a mystery.”
