The Olsen Connection
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger > Olsen Twins
The New York Times has precise new details about the death of Heath Ledger and how the whole Olsen Twins chatter got started.
They report:
"According to the police, at about 12:30 p.m., a housekeeper, Teresa Solomon, arrived at the apartment, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, to do household chores. At about 1 p.m., she went into Mr. Ledger’s bedroom to change a light bulb in an adjacent bathroom; she found him on the bed face down, with the sheet pulled up to his shoulders, and heard him snoring.
A masseuse, Diana Wolozin, arrived to give Mr. Ledger a massage at about 2:45 p.m. At 3 p.m., after Mr. Ledger did not emerge from his bedroom, with the door closed, the masseuse called him on his cellphone but got no answer. She saw him laying in bed. She took a massage table out of the closet and began to set it up near his bed. She then went over to him and shook him, but got no response. Using his cellphone, she used a speed-dial button to call Mary-Kate Olsen in California to seek her guidance, knowing Ms. Olsen to be a friend of Mr. Ledger’s. She told Ms. Olsen that Mr. Ledger was unconscious. Ms. Olsen said she would call some private security people she knew in New York, and hung up. Ms. Wolozin again shook Mr. Ledger, called Ms. Olsen a second time, and said she believed the situation was grave and would call 911.
Ms. Wolozin called 911 at 3:26 p.m. to say that Mr. Ledger was not breathing. The call occurred less than 15 minutes since she had first seen him in bed and only a few moments after the first call to Ms. Olsen. The 911 operator urged Ms. Wolozin to try to revive Mr. Ledger, but Ms. Wolozin’s efforts were not successful.
Emergency medical workers arrived at 3:33 p.m., at almost exactly the same moment as a private security guard summoned by Ms. Olsen. The medical workers moved his body to the floor and then used a defibrillator and CPR, to no avail. Mr. Ledger was pronounced dead at 3:36 p.m. By that point, two other private security guards summoned by Ms. Olsen had arrived, as had police officers.
The police said that all five witnesses — Ms. Solomon, the housekeeper; Ms. Wolozin, the masseuse; and the three private security guards summoned by Ms. Olsen — were fully cooperating with the authorities."

i think it's a bit odd that she would have called MKO instead of immediately contacting the police..
shes a good girl. I really like her alot.
that's pretty interesting! kind-a weird though that masseuse would call an olsen 1st?
this is just so sad. heath ledger was an amazing actor. rip.
i enjoyed your work so much and the industry will not be the same without you. its just shocking….
Wow, and people say Perez isn't first with the news. PRETTY DAMN NEW NEWS TO ME!
The first impulse is to cover it up with a private security firm rather than to save him? That sucks.
still cant believe he's dead!
My Mom told you nada, zip, nothing diane. My Mom passed away.
oh HEATH WE MISS U ….
LINDSAY LOHAN, OLSEN , ALL THESE HOES GOT HIM INTO DRUG NO DOUBT
RIP
fascinating and awfully sad…
She shook him and got no response so she called Mary-Kate Olsen????? WHAT??? That's insane. That can't be right. That just sounds to retarted to be true!
A little bit, but I still love her.
aren't massage therapists trained in CPR?couldn't she have tried to revive him? not blaming her but, WTF???
Is it just me or does that sounds fishy?
RIP
WOW and she's a masseuse? WHAT THE FUCK, IS SHE TOTALLY CLUELESS. WHY DON'T YOU CALL YOUR MOMMA FOR FURTHER INTRUCTIONS BITCH!
SHE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEATH. WHAT A FUCKING MORON CALLS ONE OF THESE SKANKY WHORES FOR ADVISE? AN OLSEN? CALL BRITNEY YOU STUPID BITCH!!!!!!

Oh for christ sake… Right you find a guy non responsive on the bed/floor or where ever… So you call the Olsen twins? That seriously would not of been my first choice. Maybe should of been better saving her time and calling 911 right away?
because the OLSENS SECURITY is trained in CPR, and im pretty sure her NY apartment is close to Heaths apartment, so the housekeeper or whatever probably knew the olsens, they probably visited Heath..
How disturbing!!! Why in the world would this woman call someone in CA when a person right in front of her in NY is in need of medical attention??? Makes you wonder if Heath Ledger could have been saved had she not WASTED 15 minutes waiting for the Olsen's security guy before calling 911. Dumb dumb dumb….
this is very tragic but the coverage must stop … I saw it is going to be on nancy grace and larry king live and magazine covers and it is such a sad thing and in respect for the families involved the media should just let up
The whole situation is so sad
yeah seriously what's up with her clothes nowadays
RIP What a loss! Only the good die young, right? I LOVE PEREZ!!
Who ever heard of calling a security guard when someone is unconscious lying face down on the floor? It sounds like he had just recently passed away before the masseuse arrived. Regardless of the details, it's a tragic ending. Life is so fragile.
…..the white race never ceases to amaze me. Note the racist, hateful comments about Lil Waynes recent drug arrest….if a talent black actor/musician is found to be a victim of substance abuse which is RARE in comparison to those of white celebrities….it is funny how people say "thats how black people are, worthless n****er, etc"…yet when a white star except britney falls victim to drug overdose and dies it's tragic and they will be missed and people respect their lives. How do some of you sleep at night knowing you live in such a biased, racist society? I've loved Brad Renfro since my pre-adolescence and i've been a Heath fan for a couple years now. Both tragic wastes of lives. They both left behind children whose love wasnt strong enough to overcome the demons.
looks like she was on her knees giving a blow job!!! GOOD GIRL!!!
WOW and she's a masseuse? WHAT THE FUCK, IS SHE TOTALLY CLUELESS. WHY DON'T YOU CALL YOUR MOMMA FOR FURTHER INTRUCTIONS BITCH!
SHE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEATH. WHAT A FUCKING MORON CALLS ONE OF THESE SKANKY WHORES FOR ADVISE? AN OLSEN? CALL BRITNEY YOU STUPID BITCH!!!!!!

Re: more questions – he was TOO HEAVY to move from what i heard. The olsens Secuirty guard is this big black dude that i've seen around them alot…i dont think the itty bitty massuese could put him on the ground..which is what is required in cpr.
as a massage therapist in another state, i want to massage famous people and call up the olsens on the phone just to chat. what a kake job.
Media Blames Heath Ledger, Refuses to Examine Dangers of the Pharmaceuticals Found Beside His Body

Big Pharma is killing us… does it take this tragedy to make you pay attention ????????????
Hey Olsen girl, Steven Tyler called and wants his scarves back.
Why the fuck would this idiot call a celebrity instead of 911 in the first damn place. Fucking ridiculous!
what a strange series of events. RIP heath
right.
"oh my god, i think he's dead..WE'LL CALL THE OLSEN TWINS."
stupid reaction,
for all we know he could have lived if she'd called 911 right away.
have some respect for them both.
it doesn't matter if you're first or not.
heath ledger was a fox.

Wow! That answers a lot of questions. Very interesting. Can you imagine entering a super star's bedroom with him "sleeping" in the bed while you're setting up your massage table…thinking to yourself "I don't want to wake him…I guess I'm on the clock…the housekeeper said he was asleep…he sure is quiet, but I have another appointment, etc." And then, actually trying to wake him only to discover that all the time you've been looking at him, thinking he was breathing while "sleeping", he's been lying there dead. That's heavy.
that sounds like a crock to me. what rational person would find someone unconscious and call their friend? unless there was a quick omg there is a grand of blow right here what do i do with it moment. and even then it would take a few for paramedics to get there. Didn't anna nicole smiths 'friends' and staff do this little dance of calling a million people before calling 911?
why in the name of god would you call an olsen???????
That be fucked up…
two mistakes, hard to say if this would have made a difference in the outcome.
1. calling an olsen, what in fuck can SHE do? she isnt even in the same state as HL.
and she is not a relative,
2. not calling 911 right away
the whole shit is shady.
wth
hefa
i bet she called in blackwater to replace him with a robot.
For fucks sake! you ring paramedics first!!!!! what is with people… fucking morons
WHAT KIND OF A RETARD CALLS AN OLSEN TWIN BEFORE 911.
im crying now. if only the housekeeper had realized…
sad sad sad
The correct term is Massage Therapist.
We are at college for almost 2 years!
We are all fed up with the media using the word Masseuse!
Im sure that poor Therapist is too.
Hope you can help to clear this up Perez!
Love Ya!
This is the second pic that I've seen where an Olsen has dirty knees. Look at the pic of her I think during Sundance. WTF? We need an investigator on this!
Curioser and curioser. Sounds like he had an acknowledged drug problem - and the damage limitation swung into action ahead of getting him help - thats a really fucked up way to live. Maybe his people should get a hold of Brit Brit and La Lohan.
since when do they only try and revieve people for 3 minutes even if he was really dead they would have worked on him for at least an hour. And why the fuck was she in the room for a solid 20 mins before noticing that he had no life in him. If you have ever seen a dead person you know the dead within 5 minutes they lose there color and look waxy.
What a couple… the masseuse calls MKO when she realizes that Heath is uncoscious instead of calling 911 and MKO calls security guards instead of paramedics???? What for??? Congrats to your intelligence, girls!
THis just sounds so retarded… why is it in HOLLYWOOD they all PANIC before calling 9-1-1?!!! THey have to call other celebs or body guards ( i.e. ANNA NICOLE SMITH) and then it's too late. Celebs are people too.. you seem them NOT BREATHING.. dont call another celeb a body guard or all that phone tage shit.. jeezzzzz MAYBE HE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED YOU DUMB ASS masseuse!!!! ITS A GOOD THING THEY DIDNT CALL HIS AGENT OR PUBLIST FIRST TOO!!!
Fight, you find a guy face down in bed unconscious and the first person you call is MK Olsen? Is this a joke? What about the AMBULANCE?
to all of you who are questioning why she called mary-kate first… i had this same situation first with my grandma died, but i knew she was dead. the fist thing in my mind was to call my aunt, because she knew my grandma well and i didnnt know what to do. im sure it was a scary situation for her, who know maybe she's never seen a dead body before? now thats a thought.
sounds like a clue board. a little sketchy, perez!
Does anyone else find it weird that she called her before 911?
I smell scandal.
This is absolutely ridiculous to me. 911 should have been called first and foremost. Period, the end. What the hell would calling a friend (MKO), not to mention who is across the country, do? That could have been a grave mistake on Ms. Wolozin's part. Terrible.
she has dirty knees……hmmmm?
Re: Fran – Exactly, couple of geniuses…
wow. i really hope the 911 call doesnt come out like it did with kanye's mother. too horrible to listen to.
God you have to wonder if the maid had just woken him up at the time she changed the lightbulb, if he'd still be around. So sad.
So….I'm not saying your a dollar short or a day late Perezy….but, I read yesterday that the masseuse didn't call Mary Kate, but it was actually her bodyguard. The bodyguard is a friend of hers, lives right down the street and happens to be an EMT. So he came to try and do CPR, but the emergency crews were there when he arrived.
SO….which is it homey?
Honestly….doesnt really much fucking matter at this point, right? He was a brilliant actor and a devoted father…and really, the only one that NEEDS to know the events surrounding his death is his family so they can try and claim a bit of peace.
Massage therapists are not trained on CPR (although they can take CPR classes, like anyone).
What I wonder: when he was first found at around 3pm, was he alive? Seems like she waited 20 minutes or so before calling 911. If he was alive at 3pm and if 911 was called right away, the poor guy would have actually had a chance. EACH SECOND COUNTS!!!
Also, I don't know why they would have defibrillated him - in real life, that's only done if someone has a shockable rhythm (such as ventricular fibrillation - the line looks fast and wavy on the monitor). If someone is in ventricular fibrillation, you usually work on them for awhile (push meds, chest compressions, intubation, blah blah blah). You don't shock for a flat line (asystole), although some use it as a last-ditch effort since fine ventricular fibrillation could present as asystole. Yeah…
My point: they worked on the guy for 3 minute. Barely enough time for one round of CPR. He was probably dead for awhile, but 911 should have been called immediately.
Very interesting - private security to take care of it? That just is so telling.
Hmmm… similar to Anna Nicole, people make all kinds of calls instead of dialing 911 which is the ONLY way the person has any kind of chance at living.
DIAL 911 FIRST PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT
WHAT THE FUCK??? YOu call Michelle Tanner for advice? BITCH you went to alternative school to get that fuckin massage degree that let you in the vicity of his body…. they DO teach you to dial 911 ….. HOW STUPID is this woman?
This is REALLY shady. It seems that the call to MKO was part of a panic, possibly by something that didn't need to be brought to the light or in the public. Seems like MKO wanted to get private medical help for Heath, maybe to cover up heavy drug abuse. This is a whole new wrinkle to the story. I'm sure there is much more to come out of this.
Another possibility is that this was a cry for help, if he indeed took OTC sleeping meds (though the newly reported rolled up 20 leads one to believe other drug use). Maybe he took the OTC meds knowing the massage therapist would find him in time to get help. So many questions.
Where's Jake's comment during all this?
This must be devastaing for all of them from Brokeback!
Re: Jacqueline –
oh please…are you born in a barn
blah blah blah…..certainly someone saw that something was coming…..why does everyone care when it is too late? Pray for Brittney. We, the people, never saw any signs of Heath going down "that road"….where were the people closest to him? Someone had to know there was a problem. WE ALL NEED TO START STANDING UP AND CARING ABOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. NO ONE IS BEYOND HELP OR THINKING THEY DO NOT NEED HELP…."WE THE PEOPLE" WITH LOVE AND CARING
we need to stop calling this an overdose… the one person who truly knows what happened cannot speak for himself… stop speaking for him!!! stop blaming the victim, it is Big Pharma's fault!!!! the FDA and Big PHarma kill 100,000 people every year with its poisonous prescription LEGAL drugs… now that it's happened to someone high profile are we going to start paying better attention????
wAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!
www newstarget dot com
VOTE RON PAUL 2008 he is the only one who will restore our freedoms, including freedom of HEALTH!!!!!!!!!! stop being slaves to BIG pharma, WAKE UP!!!
This is not Heath's fault, he is a VICTIM… though maybe he won't have died in vain if we can LEARN SOMETHING from this tragedy… say no to prescription drugs!!! get the real facts! NewsTarget.com
Re: amelia. –
I so agree
When the toxicology reports come back, I bet there will be a SLEW of drugs in his system.
And this is new news, I have not heard or read anywhere that the maid heard him snoring sometime around noon or 1 p.m.
I bet he snorted about 20 oxycontin 80's. That would spell doom.
just goes to show how celebs are more afraid of invasion of privacy than death. sad reflection on us as a society. sad loss of a young man & father in his prime. just sad overall.
what kind of shady shit is that? bitch should have called 911 right away!?!?!?!?!? and didnt ANY of them notice all the supposed pill bottles everywhere when he was "snoring" what kind of fucking housekeeper doesnt clean the fucking floor
Re: richard03 –
shut up you fucking moron
Didn't MKO play a doctor in one of her movies? That's probably why the massage THERAPIST called her. People do strange things when they panic, but this has to be one for the books. So, Mary Kate owns the apartment? or is it leased by her and she loaned it to the late Mr. Ledger? Or is the only connection to MKO the therapist…maybe a referral? Wow! MKO, I can give one heck of back rub (lol!). No, seriously, there must be something very sinister going on for the massage therapist to first call MKO…who sends in security….what for?…to protect the apartment? I don't get it. MKO…please advise.
Sleep Apnea.
I called it. Remember that.
this masseuse should be shot. calling an OLSEN twin over the 911??!!! are you kidding??!! did she really think some prescription uppers were a better call than an actual medical provider? apparently.
Gee, who shall I call? 911 or Michelle Tanner?
P.S. I wouldnt call a fucking Olsen Twin to find out what time it was let alone during a medical fucking emergency How STUPID are these fucking people
um, why are her knees dirty?
this is nuts….does this only happen in "hollywood"? If someone found me in that kind of state there would have been immediate response. What are they afraid of? I pray that quicker action would have prevented an untimely death….we wont' ever know cause "those people" didn't want to be "put out" THIS TRULY SUCKS….WHEN YOU CARE YOU DO SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY REGARDLESS OF HOW IT FAIRS UPON YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. Another life lost unneccsarily BURN PEOPLE BURN
