Case closed
Feds close Heath Ledger investigation
Federal investigators have officially closed the investigation into the death of Heath Ledger. The results? . . . dramatic pause . . . Mary-Kate Olsen is being charged with attempted murder! Just kidding. No charges were filed against anyone. The Associated Press says:
Prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan had been overseeing a Drug Enforcement Administration probe into whether the painkillers found in Ledger’s system were obtained illegally. But the prosecutors have bowed out “because they don’t believe there’s a viable target,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no charges have been filed.
The decision comes after recent reports that actress Mary-Kate Olsen was demanding immunity before answering questions about the startling death of her close friend and his drug use. Authorities say she was the first person called by a masseuse who found the 28-year-old “Dark Knight” actor’s lifeless body in his Manhattan apartment.
The DEA had obtained a subpoena that could have forced Olsen if she continued to hold out. But the subpoena, issued in April, is no longer valid because it was contingent upon prosecutors pursuing the case, the official said Wednesday. The official added that the case could still be revived if evidence of a crime emerges. (Source)
No viable target? What about the chick that’s demanding immunity before she testifies. What about her? Call it a crazy hunch, but I think she just may be hiding something.
how is it “attempted murder” when Ledger passed away.
Mary-Kate gave him the pills. Duh.
