NONE OF US KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO IN THAT SITUATION. IT ALL VERY EASY FOR US TO SIT BACK AND JUDGE THIS POOR WOMAN. SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY TRAUMATIZED AND NOT THINKING PROPERLY.

Wow. Gen-Y knows how to respect life. Find somebody dead? Call that bimbette from that stupid s*itcom three times because one of you keeps hitting that "hang up" button, probably mistaking it for the "fast dial to the pizza chain" button... thrice, before calling 9-1-1.

Okay, I shouldn''t revel in such conjecture. But other people are, so na na-nee naaah-nah. :P

Maybe America really is doomed. :(

There is a scene in the film "Traffic" where a bunch of kids panic when a friend passes out at a drug party.

The end up dumping his body outside a hospital emergency room.

This of course was nothing like that; illegal drugs probably weren"t involved, and the masseuse and Mary-Kate both behaved responsibly.

It"s just that people often panic momentarily in situations like this.

"Heath is unconscious. I don''t know what to do!" Wolozin said in her first call to Ms. Olsen, reports the New York Post.

Young men that age are sometimes just passed out from alcohol.

The paramedics are not usually called.

Mary-Kate Olsen probably did the most to try to save Heath Ledger"s life by insisting that paramedics be called.

Something sounds really fishy.

When someone is unconscious you call 911. Even a 5-year-old knows that.

I''m glad they are investigating.

I''m not defending the masseuse, she should have called 911 immediately after finding Ledger "unconsious", but the reason for her hesitancy was probably because Ledger was such a famous person and she didn''t want to unnecessarily cause a media frenzy. If so, her plan didn''t work.

Rhea Perlman, that is. (The no-nonsense waitress on Cheers)

That"s the kind of person you need in an emergency, not Mary-Kate Olsen.

I don"t have a young female masseuse.

Why did Heath Ledger have one ?

And my phone is programmed to call Rhea Perleman in an emergency.

"And Mary Kate was an Israeli spy. But the real question is.......where was Ashley?"

Ashley is on the run with Cesar Laurean in Mexico.
