The masseuse who found actor Heath Ledger dead in his apartment repeatedly called actress Mary-Kate Olsen instead of emergency services - even after she couldn't get through to the star, it has been claimed. Diane Lee Wolozin called Olsen three times, but apparently reached her only once, before finally calling 911 to say Ledger needed medical assistance, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told the New York Post.

"We believe that of the three phone calls by the masseuse to Mary-Kate Olsen, only one got through. That call was 99 seconds long."

The successful call from Ledger's own mobile phone was made between the two other brief calls from Wolozin to Olsen, who was rumoured to be dating the Brokeback Mountain star, that didn't go through. Around 10 minutes elapsed between the first time Wolozin tried to reach the Olsen, 21, and the call she finally made to emergency workers, who found opened packages of prescription pills next to Ledger's body. Kelly's account of the masseuse's phone calls, based on detectives' examination of phone logs, contradicts initial claims that Wolozin spoke to Olsen twice on Tuesday after finding the Australian actor unresponsive in bed in his apartment. According to the newspaper, it still leaves questions about why Olsen told Wolozin she was sending her private security guards to Ledger's apartment, instead of telling the masseuse to call 911. It's also unclear why Wolozin repeatedly called Olsen, who was in California at the time, before phoning 911. Paramedics found Ledger's torso still warm when they arrived. But they quickly ruled that he was beyond help. Toxicology tests on Ledger have not yet been completed by the medical examiner. Picture: Janet Mayer
