Before this craze, Olsen, who was in California, summoned her private protection guards to the flat to assist with the position, police said. Paramedics arrived at 3:33 p. m. , and really went upward in the elevator to the flat with Olsen's protection guards. Paramedics did not permit the protection guards into the chamber where Ledger died, and they declared him asleep at 3:36 p. m. -- 19 minutes after the best request to Olsen. Wolozin called Olsen a closing moment at 3:34 p. m. The length of that request was unidentified.

The death prompted rumors that Ledger may get been depressed and taking overly many pills. Haydn and Mike Ledger, two of the player's uncles, deflected a doubt about whether their nephew had been depressed, saying that should be left to his parents to speak. Ledger told The New York Times in November that working on the films "The Dark Knight" and "I'm Not There" had been nerve-racking, and that he was struggling with sleeplessness and had taken the sleeping tablet Ambien.

Williams and Matilda returned to their Brooklyn house Wednesday evening from Sweden. The 27-year-old actress had been there shooting scenes for the forthcoming movie "Mammoth," said Martin Stromberg, a spokesman for movie output party Memfis Film. Makeshift tributes and memorials continued to stack upward in face of Ledger's flat construction, including candles, much than 100 bouquets and hand-written notes. A computer printout with an Australian pin bears the content: "We will ever be pleased of you, Heath. Rest in peace, spouse. You will be missed. " A gaggle of reporters gathered outside the funeral house in hunt for word about Ledger's funeral. A lengthy cable of fame deaths have been handled by the same funeral house over the last century, from Judy Garland, John Lennon and Notorious B. I. G. to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Leona Helmsley.

George Amado, general coach of the Frank E. Campbell funeral house, refused to reveal details about Ledger's funeral arrangements, saying that any extra data would get to go from Ledger's coach. Ledger's publicist did not take calls and e-mails seeking remark Thursday. An Australian paper reported Friday that Ledger would probably be buried in his hometown of Perth, in southwestern Australia, after a star-studded funeral service in Los Angeles. Australian example Sophie Ward said she was planning to flee to the United States on Friday for Ledger's funeral service. "I believe we're going to L. A. ," Ward told The West Australian paper for its Friday version. "This is just a funeral service. He'll likely be buried in Perth."
