The Daily Telegraph
CASEY Johnson, an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and who was engaged to lesbian TV reality star Tila Tequila, has died.
The troubled socialite’s body was found today in Los Angeles.
She was 30 years old and had an adopted daughter, Ava, who was taken off her by her mother Sale Johnson. Her father is Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets. who is divorced from his wife.
Johnson was arrested in November for grand theft – the alleged victim was a former girlfriend and had walked out of rehabilitation for drug addiction at least twice against her parents’ wishes, whom then cut off her supply to the family’s trust fund.
It is reported that Johnson was addicted to prescription drugs, linking her death to the recent tragic deaths of actress Brittany Murphy and pop star Michael Jackson.
Johnson was engaged to former MTV reality star Tila Tequila, who took to Twitter when she found out the news.
“Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family,” she wrote.
“This is a very heartbreaking time for me. I just want some pricacy as I deal with the loss of my Fiance Casey Johnson. I’m heart is shredded.”
Tequila, again on Twitter, later raised hope her lover may still be alive stating she was in a coma, before having to admit the truth.
“R.I.P my Angel. @caseyjonsonJnJ u will forever be in my heart! I love u so so much and we will Marry when I see U in Heaven my Wifey,” Tequila twittered at 2.10pm.
A spokesman for Woody Johnson said this afternoon that a daughter of the businessman had died.
Spokesman Jesse Derris said that the family is mourning the tragic loss of Casey Johnson and asked for privacy “during this very difficult time.”
Tequila told website TMZ earlier that she and Johnson had been fighting last week and that Casey stayed at Tila’s house on December 28th
Tila tried contacting Casey on December 29 because Casey had left her dogs behind.
Tila says Casey’s phone has been shut off since the December 29 and she was not able to make contact.
