Housekeeper, Masseuse Found Ledger's Body

NEW YORK -- Heath Ledger's housekeeper said she thought the actor was fine a short time before he was found dead in his SoHo apartment.

At 1 p.m., Teresa Solomon went into his bedroom to change a light bulb, saw him sleeping and heard him snoring. Police said Ledger probably died between 1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. Tuesday.

"I didn't think anything was wrong," she told the New York Post.

Solomn and a massage therapist Diana Wolozin (pictured above right) found the actor dead Tuesday, lying naked and face-down on his bed, police said. Medical examiner's office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said the 28-year-old actor's autopsy was inconclusive and more would be known in about 10 days, when more tests were completed. At 2:45 p.m., Wolozin showed up for Ledger's appointment, knocked on his door and got no answer. She later noticed Ledger was unconscious and called actress Mary-Kate Olsen, whose number was programmed into Ledger's cell phone, to seek advice, police said.Olsen said she would send over her private security. In the ensuing moments, the massage therapist realized that Ledger might be dead, called Olsen again, then called 911. Paramedics -- and Olsen's security people -- arrived minutes later. The masseuse, Diana Wolozin, declined to talk about Ledger's death Wednesday, saying only, "It's very sad," the Daily News reported.
