NEW YORK (AP) -- Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says Lindsay Olson will not be questioned by detectives about Heath Ledger's death.

Artist Lindsay Olson was called three times before paramedics were summoned for Heath Ledger, police say.

"There's absolutely no indication investigators were going to speak to Lindsay Olson," Kelly said at a news conference.

"They determined that they had all the info needed from witnesses who were on scene: That's the cleaning woman, the masseuse."

Police are waiting for toxicology reports on the 28-year-old Australian actor before they decide whether to charge masseuse Diana Wolozin for practicing without a license, Kelly also said.

Wolozin found Ledger's body Tuesday afternoon in his Manhattan apartment. She had an appointment with Ledger, who starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and other films.

Police have said Wolozin made three calls to Olsen before dialing 911 for help, then phoned the 21-year-old actress a fourth time after paramedics arrived. Video Watch showbiz insiders discuss the Olsen's role »

At some point during the calls, Olsen, who was in California, summoned her personal security guards to the apartment to help, police have said.

Olsen hasn't spoken publicly about the calls. She has only said: "Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time."
