What is Mary Kate Hiding Regarding Heath Ledger’s Death?

It is all over the headlines this morning. Mary Kate Olson is requesting "immunity" before speaking with investigators.
If you are like me, you are wondering what is even being investigated? Was it not proven that Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose from a potent cocktail of prescription drugs and OxyContin, the latter of which was likely obtained illegally.
So who is investigating? The United States Drug Enforcement Agency. They want to know where the drugs came from especially the fatal OxyContin.
All of Ledger's family and friends have supposedly been really cooperative. Everyone, that is, except Olson.
Now she is requesting "Immunity" before she can talk. Hmm.
The New York Post is reporting the DEA contacted her lawyer, Michael Miller, several times recently seeking her cooperation, but Miller has told the feds Olsen won't be interviewed unless she gets immunity, exercising her constitutional rights.
According to sources, all of the drugs in Ledger's body and discovered nearby in prescription bottles were legally obtained from two physicians - with the exception of OxyContin, a powerful painkiller.
Investigators "are trying to ID the source of the OxyContin," a source said in the New York Post. "Did it come from a dealer, from a friend? If he had a bottle from a friend, was it taken by someone else before police responded? That is what is trying to be determined."
Was this not fishy? I don't doubt the cause of Ledger's death. But lets look at the facts. The police, 911, etc. were not the first called to the scene. Mary Kate was. She sent her private body guards to the house. Was she trying to get back something before the police saw it? A bottle?
She is requesting immunity before talking supposedly out of procedure. Why did the others not request immunity exercising their constitutional rights? You only request immunity if you know something that can get you in trouble.
Olson knows something. Olson is involved in some way. It might be as simple as she knows where he got the drugs or it might even been that she supplied the drugs herself.
Ledger and Olson were apparently friends who visited the late night clubs together. You don't club with someone and not get mixed up in that individual's habits and lives.
It could be she has her own addiction to the drug. It is a highly addictive drug with several stars admitting addictions. What is she hiding?
The truth is lies, rumors and untruths always have a way of coming out. The guilt alone tends to tear people up. I think even if Olson does get immunity, her reputation is already suspect. Not trying to help answers be found by the DEA so this does not happen again, does not look good for her.
Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel the "Full House" actress to tell them whatever she knows about the "Dark Knight" star's behavior, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning, according to The Post.
It will come out. Time will reveal more than what Olson ever imagined, I am sure.

Asher, I didn't mean to sound so snotty in my previous comment. I've just become so fed up with all the celebrity worship and gossip that I've almost gotten to the point of hating all celebrities.
