Johnson & Johnson heiress found dead
January 6, 2010
The body of 30-year-old socialite and heiress to the Johnson & Johnson empire has been found at her home in Los Angeles. Police have said that they cannot confirm exactly how long ago Casey Johnson died but some speculate that it could have been a number of days. Sara Faden of the Los Angeles Police said that at present the death is not being regarded as suspicious and that preliminary investigations suggest that Ms. Johnson died of natural causes. She went on to say that the coroner would be conducting tests and would produce a toxicology report in order to determine the exact cause of death but that this could take several weeks.
In an interview a few years ago Ms. Johnson spoke about having been offered the part of starring alongside her old classmate and fellow socialite Paris Hilton on the show The Simple Life. She said that she had turned it down and regretted doing so every day of her life. The role as Hilton’s side kick was given to Nicole Ritchie.
Casey Johnson was well known for being the girlfriend of reality show star Tila Tequila. The star of A Shot Of Love With Tila Tequila’s publicist has confirmed that the pair had been engaged to be married. Ms. Tequila has told fans of her Twitter site that she wishes for them to pray for Ms. Johnson and that she will be suspending her Tweets whilst she mourns with her family. The Johnson family has also issued a statement that they are in mourning and would appreciate privacy in which to do so.
