Heath's masseuse not licensed!
Curiouser and curiouser...
Heath Ledger's masseuse is not licensed by New York state to perform massage therapy, according to Us magazine.
Practicing massage therapy without a license is a felony, according to US magazine's sources, and the masseuse could face fines or jail time.
"We have notified the New York City Police Department as part of their investigation that no one by that name is licensed as a massage therapist in the state of New York," Jonathan Burman, spokesman for the New York State Education Department, told Us.
Well, that explains why Diana Lee Wolozin wasn't fully trained in CPR, a state requirement, and had to be given the basics on the phone when she eventually dialed for medical help.
Call me crazy, but if I found an unconscious man, I would not be making four calls for advice to their mutual 'friend,' Mary-Kate Olsen.
People.com reports MK was "casually dating" Heath. "They had a bond that was based on partying, and they had the same tastes in partying... like, in terms of where they liked to hang out in New York, what time they would want to go out. They just had the same sensibility," a source told told People. MK dispatched her security team to Ledger's abode. Wait, she has a security team?
Okay, forget personal security. I'd be calling 911 to get medical help pronto.
Where was MK? I'd seen her at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this week (hugging Colin Farrell and partying with Lilo's old pal DJ Samantha Ronson) promoting her new film, "The Wackness," in which she plays a regular pot smoker who makes out with her costar Ben Kingsley in a phone booth.
Hey, she also played a (born-again) pot smoker in the hit Showtime TV series "Weeds." Typecast much?
In the end, the reported 23 minutes between the time Wolozin found Ledger's body and emergency workers arrived, may not have been totally "wasted."
After all, it does give one a chance to tidy up a bit and make the apartment look nice for the police and paramedics.
Your thoughts?

1. He had been dead for hours, so it didn't matter that she didn't know CPR. Even a blind monkey could do CPR effectively from phone instructions anyhow, and she did do it, so it really doesn't matter in that regard either.
2. She probably thought Heath was unconscious from drugs or something like that, so she called MK for a way to get help for him without the vicious media latching on. Keeping his medical treatment discreet makes perfect sense, and I don't see why people are so quick to point fingers at someone who did everything right and was probably traumatized by experiencing this senseless tragedy.
Unfortunately, the 23 minutes she wasted making stupid phonecalls may very well have cost Heath Ledger his life.
I think you are not a very nice person.

It seems like the police have suggested that Heath Ledger was dead before his housekeeper believed him to be alive at 1:00. Does a housekeeper to the stars knock on a door, get no answer, go in, find the star in bed and proceed through the bedroom to change a light bulb in the bathroom. I know I only generally snore when I crash out on my back. Who snores when they are lying on the stomaches. I friend suggested that someone who's respiratory system was laboring to keep him alive would make such a noise.But again, I read in one report that the l avidity of the body suggested he was dead longer than a couple hours. My other problem with the scenario is in all the initial reports everyone claimed he was unconscious at the foot of the bed. Then suddenly, he was still lying face down in the bed with the sheets pulled up, and it wasn't until the paramedics arrived that they pulled him off to the foot of the bed to try and resuscitate him. If he were unconscious at the foot of the bed why would the massage therapist set up and only find him cold after trying to awake him. And the rolled up 20 bill, unless you generally roll all your money like a cigarette, a rolled up bill is only used for one thing, you can't find a straw. And he didn't have to be snorting anything he didn't have a prescription for, you can snort anything if you are so inclined. And lastly, calling Mary Kay for advice is neither right or wrong, but why if you find an unresponsive cold super star, does another super star send her security team instead of suggesting calling 911. Accidental, not accidental, drug addict, or not, it seems like the couple people on the scene of Heath Ledger's death spent most of their time changing the scene.
He was a handsome, gifted actor. Maybe tired, maybe stressed or depressed. Could have been a drug addict, although he looked kind of healthy in recent photos for that. Best guess. I bet he was ill, bet he was exhausted, bet he snorted some drug or another. Bet he was dead when the maid went through, or wouldn't she have backed on out of the room.

Who gives a rat's spit about another looser Hollywood drug hippie?
Not me =) I love stupid people...they are a SELF-CORRECTING problem on this society.
Can see even massage correctly? and if not maybe she had something to do with it
Did Heath know she wasn't licensed? At any rate, it seems absurd to charge her with a felony over it. It's a massage she gives, not open heart surgery.
And I agree with K.A., that she probably did think it was drugs and was afraid for Heath's sake to call 911 straight away.
I think that this lady most likly did everything she should under the circumstances to save Heaths life. I think it would be very sad if she then had to go to jail
Because this matters right? This article matters? Send the poor girl to prison because she had the unfortunate luck of finding him dead. And yeah, calling a friend before the police in Hollywood is now a must because of the nature of scum that Hollywood deals with.
He was dead before she got there so CPR wouldn't of done anything. If he was dead longer then 6 minutes he's brain dead anyway so who cares if she didn't know CPR. "Licensing" masseuses is just like a "licensed" chiropractor. Its not a job that needs any sort of real schooling that cant be learn on your own, it has zero science behind it. It was turned into a licensing and schooling field to make money off of it. Thats all.
