Mary-Kate Olsen breaks silence on Heath Ledger

Olsen released a statement to the AP today that was neither insightful nor illuminating in any way.

"Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss," she said. "My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time."

Not that she would be expected of anything less than the playbook response that was released. But, considering there are so many questions concerning the death of a 28 year-old man in his prime, any additional light would have been appreciated by those who respected him.

As SheKnows previously reported, it was Olsen who received the first phone calls after Ledger was discovered. Many calls were made to the owner of the loft Ledger was renting before emergency personnel were called.

Police have said they have no interest in speaking with Olsen concerning Ledger's death.
