Johnson & Johnson Heiress Casey Johnson Dead At 30
Posted on Mon Jan 4, 2010 06:20 PM PDT

Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, ex-girlfriend of Courtenay Semel and fiancee of Tila Tequila, has passed away.
Johnson is survived by her daughter - Ava Monroe Johnson - whom she adopted from Kazakhstan in 2007 and by her parents, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and socialite Sale Johnson.
Casey was diabetic and known to carry around prescription meds with her but recently, there were accusations that Johnson was becoming erratic and perhaps taking more than just her diabetes treatment. Her parents had taken Ava to New York to care for her because they felt the 30 year-old wasn't able to perform regular parental duties and the Johnson family threatened to cut Casey off -- financially.
Eonline reports Casey's maid came screaming out of the heiress' home yesterday, "She's dead!"
Police say Johnson was dead upon arrival at 11:50 am this morning. Officer Sara Faden of the LAPD said the death appears to be natural, with no signs of foul play. The coroner's office will be preforming an investigation and conduction toxicology tests.
Johnson and Tequila (nee Tila Nguyen) announced their engagement on Dec 9, just days after Johnson was arrested for allegedly stealing jewelry, shoes, legal documents, clothing and underwear from former friend, British model socialite Jasmine Lennard. Casey's ex, Courtenay Semel, turned her in.
Tila Tequila, who referred to Johnson as her "wife", posted the unfortunate news just minutes ago on Twitter:

UPDATE: Tila now says Casey isn't dead, but in a coma. "I just got news that my fiance is not dead but currently in a coma!!! Omg please pray that she will make it! Hang in there my love please!!!" she tweeted. Tequila added minutes later, "I know u can feel me Casey! Dot let go! I'm almost home baby please hang on! We have a beautiful life planned out for us! I LOVE u! Hang on!"
UPDATE 2: Tila now says she was "in shock." "R.I.P my Angel @caseyjonsonJnJ," she tweeted after declaring Casey was "in a coma". "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."
Casey's last Tweet was on Dec. 29 and read, "Sweet Dreams Everyone."
If Johson IS in a coma, why is Tila trying to Tweet at her???

Poor girl, may she finally find the peace and love she was looking for. My thoughts and prayers go to her friends and family, particularly her daughter.
Party Girls Rule !
Hanging with that toxic bitch Tila caused this.
I hope celebrities stay the hell away from this loser from now on.
Tila, you slut! You killed her! You're a anothing,loser, worthless women, you destroyed this women. Why did she die? You posted this and you deserve to hear everything, loser in life.
You want prayers, cram them up your ass, you loser, you killed her!
thats what happened when young people have too much money, they can have some of the best drugs and too much free time..so sad
Casey is my cousin, I didn't know. Tila who do you think you are?? How dear you post this BS!
Tila tweeted that Casey is in a coma
"I just got news that my fiance is not dead but currently in a coma!!! Omg please pray that she will make it! Hang in there my love please!!!"
Sorry, Tila is a nothing. And nothing is expected from her.
Casey is gone..
Tila's a shallow bitch.
Hang in there Casey! Love you.
Your cousin.
If she comes out of this she needs to get the hell away from Tila-she is a sick parasite.
In a coma, omg. Pray for Casey, please.
Um, what part of 'Dead at 30' is so difficult to read? I'm not happy she's dead, but just uhhhhhg.
It's amazing that people are listening to Tila as their source-she is a loon! Remember how she was saying she was pregnant-then not. Freak show!! I hope this Casey is going to be ok-but who knows?
TMZ says she dead.
So it continues. Reading comprehension people, reading comprehension.
She's dead. Such a young life. Tila, please don't even think about posting anymore, you make me vomit! You're a useless nothing and even if you did meet her at some time, which I doubt, who cares, she's gone. You used her! Her funeral will be private!
I hope her family bans Tila from the funeral.
That psycho bitch will probably try to tape it and put in on her website or something.
Leave tila alone shes a great person! Her and casey were obviously close... And the coma thing is an UPDATE dont u read things through
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT DRUGS DO TO YOU, PAY ATTENTION! She looks 50, not 30...
RIP Casey. May you find the peace and happiness you did not find here.
I can't believe this woman Tila is tweeting when her fiance died today! What a POS. Prayers to Casey's little girl.
Tila is a loser. Casey is dead. Stop posting moronic twits, you twit !
This is not about Tila-she was just a bottomfeeder leaching on to Casey. But Tila will make it about her-gutter trash.
1 Britanny Murphy
2 Casey Johnson
3 Lindsay or Courtney???
So sad. I don't know enough to say it was drugs or a suicide or both.
It's too bad that someone didn't save her before it was too late.
tmz just posted: UPDATE: A law enforcement source tells TMZ it appears Johnson had been dead for several days before her body was discovered.
So much for that coma.
Lindsay Lohan will be next.
One idiot down, many more to go.
And Tila couldn't go to her house after Casey did not pick up her phone?? That's how loved this girl was she was rotting at home. So sad.
Lung cancer?
Bad batch or bad combo?????
The desire for fame is a sometimes lethal form of mental illness.
I read an article where she had diabetes since she was 8 years old. This could have killed her as well. It's terrible disease and if not treated can take you in a minute. I am not making excuses but I have known many with the disease and it's deadly.
Tila is such a fame whore! If she was Casey's "wifey" then why wasn't she able to check in on her for the DAYS that she was missing and already dead? I hope the family bans heer fromt he funeral, and they'd better be ready to lawyer up, because you know she's going to go after the estate given her "relationship" with the deceased.
well whatever... That is what drugs do people... to be honest what Tila did was not the right thing... seems she was so shallow about all the situation... you worthless greedy people..
Paris tweeted about it...
Bravo, Tila! Thanks for demonstrating how to use Twitter to feign grief in 140 characters or less. You finally did something memorable. You used a deceased woman to garner attention.
My sincere condolences to Casey's daughter and family. May she rest in peace.
lots of people who knew her are tweeting about it
What do you ecpect - people are shocked when someone dies this young, whatever the cause.
Tila didn't just know Casey, she had an intimate relationship with her. What she did was disgraceful.
i was shocked and tweeted too
wow what a shock.......I thought it would be lindsay lohan.........
i'm sure they'll find vicodan, hyrdacondone host of other 'medicines' in her possesion.....anyone wonder how we got so sick or......are the drug companies keeping us sick......
every hollywood drug OD lately has been full of 'legal' phamacueticals.......
Watch, this delusional Vietnamese midget is going to try to claim heir to Casey's money because she was her "wifey".
So disgusted with this troll.
What do I expect? I expect a woman who said she was committing her life to a partner to treat her passing with dignity. What did she do? She made herself the center of attention by tweeting news and updates. I don’t know one person who would sit on a computer tweeting about their fiancé passing away. Not one! The loss of a loved one normally triggers profound grief followed by a period of mourning. What she did was disgraceful.
9:11 I thought the same about Lindsay.
I don‘t want to speculate about the cause of Casey‘s death. She is survived by a young daughter, Ava and her family. I hope you understand.
Unrelated to Casey Johnson’s death:
Many addicts, especially those who are drug tested as a condition of employment, are moving away from abusing illegal street drugs toward abusing pharmaceuticals. Far too many unethical doctors are willing to write prescriptions on-demand. If an addict encounters any difficulty they can doctor-shop for scripts or buy pharmaceuticals on the black market. We should brace ourselves for more pharmaceutical suicides across first world nations.
It funny that Tila said she wanted privacy, then twitted about 10 times. She is an opportunist, media whore, an a slut. Also strange is that on her site she wrote that she has been up 3 days partying, but yet she has said she can't drink or do drugs - LOL. Her civil suit should be thrown out. I would also think if you have a serious bf/gf or fiance, one would talk over the course of a few days. So the slut didn't even go to her house to check up after a week? Strange. I feel sorry for her child and family.
7:17 - your idol is an idiot, not a great person. Who told her she was in a coma, after she was dead for days? She did even know! The slut obviously wasn't that close to the deceased - RIP.
The squatty slut probably will try to get money from the estate. Her site shows her new gun w/her fake ring she brags about - what a hood rat!
I agree 9:54. Tweeting a request for privacy is absurd!
I have been reading about Casey’s mother, Sale Johnson. Apparently, she feared for the safety of her 2 year old adopted granddaughter Ava and had taken custody. In November, Casey was arrested for grand theft. In December, Casey began talking about wanting custody back. Her life was very troubled. It seems no one had contact with her for five days including New Year's Eve. The death of a 30 year old woman is always tragic. The only bright note is it appears her child did not witness her mother’s death.
I agree too 9:54, what is she thinking. Also, I can't believe she would have contact for days, mostly on NYE, if she is her "wifey." There is something wrong with this incident. If I were the cops I would investigate, check phone records, security video, etc.
casey became more troubled when she stick with that leech Tequila. Tila claiming to be engaged with casey????? duhhh.. casey is already known as crazy woman and tila is taking advantage. even want to get married to casey to milk money from the johnsons. RIP casey. you are more better and safe now.
Oh well thats what she wantedfor being wreckless. She didnt care about her life , should I? Money,MoneyMoney. I hope the media never shows that alien looking thing named Tila. Her daughter is better off without that immature mom who probably would've turned her into a crack head .
I’m sorry for the delay responding 10:32 I'm reading international news. I agree with you. This incident makes me uneasy. I trust her family will urge the police to conduct a thorough investigation. The initial report said it looks like a natural death. I hope that is the case for her daughter’s sake.
She thought her "wife" was in a coma so she turned to Twitter, she didn't rush to be by her side. You just know this fame whore is rubbing her hands together and her mind is ticking over trying to figure out how much she can milk this for pubicity. Dirty leech hadn't seen her "wife" for days...no concern for her welfare.
Unrelated to Casey Johnson’s death:
Every adult has the right to build or destroy their own life. Sadly, self-destructive people become parents. I can’t help but hope those people will pull themselves together. Not necessarily for their sake but for their child‘s sake. Under normal circumstances, children may experience feelings of abandonment after losing a parent. The self-inflicted death of a parent can arouse feelings of betrayal and insecurity that may leave permanent scars and profoundly alter the course of a child’s lives.
Some people need to be reminded that selflessness is the key to being a good parent.
10:57 I agree 100%
Correction: a child's life.
why didn't Tila visit her "fiance" during that whole time? Almost 6 days had passed since Casey's last tweet.
11:29 Tila's not just tweeting, she's talking to the media. She told TMZ they had a fight.
From TMZ:
Johnson was reportedly engaged to Tila Tequila. We spoke with Tila a few minutes ago. She says they were fighting last week and that Casey stayed at Tila's house on the 28th. Tila tried contacting Casey on the 29th because Casey had left her dogs behind. Tila says Casey's phone has been shut off since the 29th and she was not able to make contact.
Johnson -- who tweeted frequently -- last tweeted on December 29 at 1:13 AM.
The cause of death is undetermined.
UPDATE: A law enforcement source tells TMZ it appears Johnson had been dead for several days before her body was discovered.
UPDATE: The LAPD has opened a death investigation.
I hope and pray her child was still with her grandmother.
I knew casey and she was a sweet girl.she was crying out for help.thats the only reason she gave this woman any attention.she was lost and has been for awhile.I KNOW SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE.My prayes go out to precious ava.she is safe in new york with sale her grandmother.casey died of complications of her dieabets she did not take her insulin on that day.I WILL MISS HER SWEET SMILE.so sorry casey but your home. we will miss you.
I’m sorry your friend passed away.
tila is claiming they fight so that the attention could be hers and would make money from this death. she wants attention and would like to tell everyone that casey is madly in love with her that even took her life for her. tila is a tool, dick and dbag.
Please don't shoot the messenger. 11:29 asked a question. I told him/her that Tila spoke with TMZ and what she said. I didn't say I believed her. Tila's decision to tweet and address the media is disgraceful.
Tila is sick
Of course.
Delusional idiots..
Hollywood glorifies the lifestyle of drugs and deviant behavior and stupid people follow.
I have no sympathy for these freaks.
I have totally given up any hope for the continuance of the human race to prosper....
I wish TT would just SHUT UP AND GET A JOB!!
But this is a very sad thing to see. But shocking? No.
How could someone so wealthy be so lonely? It just PROVES the point, MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU HAPPINESS!!
But I have to ask, where were ALL her people/enablers? THE CHILD WAS DEAD FOR A WEEK!!
DISGUSTING!
Folks, work and pray HARD - it's the only way to SURVIVE!!
Money + Evil = HOLLYWOOD (FAME)!! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, RIGHT?
First, someone needs to take all internet access away Tila Tequila and then they need to have her committed - This chick screams 5150 - I'm pregnant, she's in a coma...delusional and sad...
Go to rehab 6:59 or see a counselor. It is up to you. It's a New Year, good luck.
Tila just wrote ANOTHER message:
"I can't stop these haunting visions of her and I. We made such a lovely couple, only beginning to spend the rest of our lives together"... about 7 hours ago from UberTwitter. If that was the case, why wouldn't she check up on her after their "fight?" This midget is so lame it is a joke. The Johnson's should investigate her and make sure she doesn't get a dime. All magazines should not pay this media whore, and ho, a dime and not even interview her about this event.
She might have been rich and famous...but DAMN...she was ugly. Her fame and money couldn't buy her looks. Wonder if there will be a secret sex tape of her's coming out with Kanye West?
I hope that there is sex tape of her and Tila. That would be hot!!!!! I'd love to see her giving an orgasm to Tila. Lick! Lick!
Im English and lets be clear, Jasmine Leonard is Absoluteley NOT a socialite. She has tried to pass herself off as many things in the UK, the only thing she is, is a fame hunter.
Goodbye Celebutard. I hope you're not the last.
Tila wont be entitled to any money. They were not married and had no mutual assets.
Dead at 30 these b*tches are dropping dead like flies!
Yeah lindsay is next...sad but true...she's not even 30 yet...record breaking history!
Who the hell cares about Casey or Tila. They both are stupid skanky twats who do nothing but drugs and party. Its just a bummer that Tila did die also. Tila is one gross woman who looks more like a man everyday. NEXT.
Tila will be screwing someone new in a week. Tila is a worthless skank just like Lindsay Logan and hopefully Tila and Lindsay join Casey soon.
Hell, I'll bang Tila for a while. You'd be insane not to!
The wages of sin is death!Now where is she burning in hell!
Money is not evil! The lack of Money is evil. and for the record, Whoever said "Money can't buy happiness, was obviously rich.
GOD TOOK ANOTHER SOUL WHO WAS FIT TO BE AN ANGEL AND THATS THAT !!!!!BESIDES THAT SHES IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE (EARTH SUCKS) !!!!
And she died how exactly?
N-pleaze and what does the "N" stand for...January 4,2010 7:33 PM?
