Diana Wolozin is a masseuse who discovered Heath Ledger unconscious in his Broome Street Manhattan apartment after arriving for a scheduled appointment. After finding Ledger unresponsive, Wolozin used his cell phone to call Mary-Kate Olsen several times before calling 9-1-1. Paramedics were unsuccessful in their attempts to revive Ledger and it was later determined that he died of a drug overdose.
On August 6, 2008, the investigation to uncover who supplied Ledger with the drugs that caused his fatal overdose was dropped.2
