The masseuse who found Heath Ledger's body on Tuesday twice rang the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, a friend of the Australian actor, before calling the emergency number 911, it has been reported.
The New York Times online, quoting police officials, said the masseuse Diana Wolozin told Olsen that Ledger was unconscious.Olsen said she would call some private security people she knew in New York, and hung up.
The Times said Wolozin again shook Ledger, called Olsen a second time, and said she believed the situation was grave and would call 911.
Wolozin called 911 at 3.26pm local time and reported that Ledger was not breathing.
The 911 call was made less than 15 minutes after Wolozin first saw Ledger in bed and only a few moments after the first call to Olsen.
The 911 operator urged Wolozin to try to revive Ledger, but she was unsuccessful.
Emergency medical workers arrived at 3.33pm, at the same time a private security guard called by Olsen arrived.
