Casey Johnson Found Dead
Tags: Casey Johnson, Death, died, engaged, fiancee, Tila Tequila
Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and “fiancée” of Tila Tequila, was found dead in her LA home at age 30. From People:
[Johnson's] death was announced by Tequila on her Twitter page and confirmed by police.
“Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson,” Tequila wrote. “She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w/ family.”‘
Los Angeles police and firefighters were called to a house at 11:51 a.m. Monday. Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene.
“It appears to be a natural death,” says police Officer Sara Faden. “There’s no evidence of foul play. A toxicology report from the coroner’s office will proceed next.”
Johnson, who leaves a toddler daughter Ava whom she had adopted, was the great-great granddaughter of the founder of the pharmaceutical giant, and the daughter of New York Jets owner Robert Wood Johnson.
An openly gay socialite, Johnson had a knack for attracting paparazzi – and trouble. A nasty fight with ex-girlfriend Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo chief Terry Semel, reportedly resulted in Johnson’s hair catching on fire last October. Then in November, she was arrested for allegedly breaking into another former girlfriend’s house.
Meh, who cares? Yeah, I know that’s cruel and inhumane and whatnot, but I’m an asshole so that shouldn’t surprise you. Seriously, does anyone actually CARE that this chick died? She’s like a less-famous version of Paris Hilton, and people would only care if Paris died in the sense that they would want to plan a party to celebrate the occasion.
Anyway, there’s lots of speculation about prescription drugs being the cause of death, but I’m betting what actually happened is that Casey Johnson somehow realised she was engaged to Tila goddamn Tequila, and she died of shame on the spot. I don’t know if “shame” shows up in an autopsy, though, so this mystery may never be solved.
