R.I.P.
How Heath's Body Was Discovered

The Olsen twins' connection to Heath Ledger's apartment is now clear.

Here's the way it went down. A cleaning lady for Heath arrived at the apartment first, followed soon thereafter by a masseuse. They both entered the room at around the same time and discovered Heath's lifeless body.

The cleaning lady called police. The masseuse, we're told, called the bodyguard for the Olsens. She called him because they're friends and he's an EMT. The bodyguard was around the block at Ashley's and he immediately went over. By the time he arrived, the cops were already there.

We're also told it appeared Heath "had been dead for a while" and there were no visible signs of trauma. There was a pill bottle on the nightstand.

78. Suzki #55,

Pay no attention to the insensitive comments. The vast majority of people who make wacked out and disgusting comments after a death like this don't really mean it. They are trolls and are just doing it for shock value to see what kind of responses they will get. Ignore them.

80. I think it is very strange that the maid went in the same time as the Massuse. In any normal world a maid would wake him up first and then send the Massuse in when he is up and ready for the massage..


Bit strange that they discovered the body at the same time---My thoughts anyway...

81. Please go to dailymail.co.uk for a story on Heath that talks about his Heroin addiction and a stint in rehab. Why doesn't anyone mention this as it was reported hours ago in UK press.?

85. hey buzz bomber...unless tmz's reaching at straws or the police lied, I think everyone else can agree that Heath is dead - as tragic as it is to actually say that...

87. The NYCPD is now saying they were OTC sleeping pills. Over the counter sleeping pills contain nothing more than Benadryl (diphenhydramine)... not a particularly lethal medication unless taken in HUGE quantities. More dangerous if you mix it with alcohol, as with any medication. He was in London on Saturday, meaning he had to make a long transatlantic flight sinc e then, which is a good way to get a DVT - deep vein thrombosis - or a blood clot in the leg. And when those blood clots break loose, they become pulmonary embolisms - blood clots to the lungs. Or the heart. Often causing death pretty quickly. Especiallly in young people who would deny that sudden pain in their chest could be anything serious. I also read he was being treated for pneumonia - so his lungs were not in great shape to begin with. I've seen certain viral and bacterial pneumonias suddenly kill other young people. But, when it comes to our movie stars, we always WANT to think the worst. A pulmonary embolism just would not be a sexy enough way for a young movie star to die, would it?

88. This is a shame. May he Rest In Peace. What a wonderful actor and so passionate about his little girl. What a sad day for the Ledger Family.

Yeah you are right, i was just pissed cuz some people joke with this, and like i said i know how it feels to lose someone. i lost my dad 2 years ago and i still have not gotten over it. My dad died of pneumonia (ithink thats how it is...sorry if cant spell...) and i read heath was suffering with that and it just brought it all back to me. Its horrible. Plus i was a fan...like big time....and it sucks my favorite actor probablu died just like my daddy died, maybe he did not die from that but well he had it. So anyways thanks for the answer.
