Update: Clarification on the Olsen connection. According to the New York Times, the apartment Ledger was found in belongs to Mary-Kate Olsen. Mary-Kate is not believed to currently be in New York (so Perez is full of it). It is not clear why Ledger was in that particular apartment.
The full account from the Times:
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.
Paramedics administered CPR but were unable to revive Ledger. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Update: A reunclarification of the Olsen Twins connection. TMZ is now saying it wasn't Mary-Kate's apartment. This will all eventually get sorted out and probably have nothing to do with either Olsen twin or Susan Olsen or any other person with the last name of Olsen.
