Heath Ledger's Death Investigated

Federal investigators want to question actress Mary-Kate Olsen about how Heath Ledger got two powerful painkillers that contributed to his accidental overdose death. He was much too young to die so young. She is not talking to them and her lawyer has refused twice to have her sit down with investigators about the death. He was the scene stealing star of "The Dark Knight". He died in a Manhattan apartment awhile back. Olsen wants a promise of immunity before she speaks to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA investigators suspect the painkills oxycodone and hydrocodone found in his system were obtained with phoney prescriptions or other illegal sources. Time will tell. By the way, have you noticed that movie almost seems cursed. Others who were in it have had accidents or something and have been on the news lately.

Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead

Heath Ledger, the talented 28 year old actor who gravitated toward dark, brooding roles that defied his leading man looks, was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment, face-down at the foot of his bed with prescription sleeping pills nearby according to the police. Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the SoHo apartment that is believed to be the home of the "Brokeback Mountain" actor. The massage therapist and a housekeeper found his naked bod at about 3:30 p.m. They tried to revive him, but he was already dead. Everyone is shocked. They don't know if it was accidental or suicide but an autopsy will be performed to find the cause of death. I believe they said the found prescription medicine beside the body.
