Mary-Kate Olsen Addresses Heath Ledger Drug Reports

A lawyer representing Mary-Kate Olsen has addressed rumors surrounding her knowledge of the drugs that led to Heath Ledger’s death earlier this year.

Reports have surfaced that Olsen is seeking immunity from prosecution prior to providing further details about Ledger’s death due to an accidental drug overdose in January, prompting her lawyer, Michael C. Miller, releasing a statement on Monday (August 4).

“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,” Miller states.

“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.”

He continues, “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.”
