"Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time."
Mary-Kate Olsen is set to be questioned by police about Heath Ledger's death.
The 'Weeds' star - who was romantically linked with the 'Brokeback Mountain' star following his split from Michelle Williams last September - was contacted by Ledger's masseuse Diana Wolozin when she found the actor's body in his New York apartment. Olsen then sent her security staff to the apartment.
It has now been revealed that Wolozin called Olsen four times before calling emergency services, not twice as was originally reported.
The additional calls were discovered when police examined phone records, according to National Enquirer magazine.
Wolozin discovered Ledger, 28, lying face-down and naked on his bed, surrounded by six types of prescription medication at 2:45pm on Tuesday (01/22/08). It is unclear why she called Olsen but she used the speed dial on Ledger's cell phone to contact her.
The Oscar-nominated actor and the former child star first became friends in summer 2006.
Following his split from Williams - with whom he has a two-year-old daughter Matilda - in September last year, Ledger was linked to a string of women including Helena Christensen, Lindsay Lohan and supermodel Gemma Ward.
An insider claims he and Olsen dated on-and-off for the last three months.
The source said: "Mary-Kate and Heath were casually dating. They were hooking up, but neither were particularly interested in making it exclusive.
"They had a bond that was based on partying, and they had the same tastes in partying in terms of where they liked to hang out in New York, what time they would want to go out. They just had the same sensibility."
According to Star magazine the two had a few choice spots to chill - although Heath had a preference to partying with friends at his apartment.
"They had fun together and since they lived right around the corner from each other in New York City it was really convenient for them to get together," the source tells Star. "They also spent time at each other's places — Heath enjoyed staying in and partying with friends.
"They frequented New York City's Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel and Beatrice Inn, where Heath was a regular."
Olsen has an apartment in New York with her twin sister but was in California at the time of Ledger's death.
MK is devastated.
