A Look Back At Casey Johnson's Life
Posted on Tue Jan 5, 2010 05:00 PM PDT
Most of us knew Casey Johnson as the sweet socialite/party princess who hung out with the Hilton sisters and recently got engaged to Tila Tequila, but when the news broke that she was found dead at her Hollywood home, everyone wanted to know more about the troubled starlet.
The 30-year-old Johnson & Johnson heiress had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, and it's being reported that diabetes may have played a role in her untimely passing. Johnson was previously hospitalized twice for slipping into a diabetic coma, and several websites claim that insulin syringes were found in her home after her body was discovered. Sources say that Casey had been neglecting her treatment, and rather than focusing on her emotional and physical health, she would stay out and party all night.
A source tells Fox News, "Casey has been wild since her teenage years and never really slowed down. Her family often cut off her money and asked her to get help and get her life together." So how was she surviving? The source says Casey begged her friends for money, claiming that she needed it for her 3-year-old adopted daughter Ava.
The only problem? Casey's parents, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and socialite Sale Johnson removed the child from her custody in 2008 after finding her in less than suitable living conditions. "Casey would claim she needed the money for baby Ava, but all of her friends knew that her mother had taken Ava to live with her," the source added. "Her life was out of control, and she couldn't take care of [her child]."
Setting aside her family and money troubles, Casey had a rollercoaster of a love life, as evident from her drama with ex-girlfriends Jasmine Lennard and Courtenay Semel. Just a few months ago, Casey was arrested for allegedly stealing jewelry and other valuables from Jasmine, and it's been reported that Courtenay was the one who turned her in to the police. In January of 2009, Courtenay lit Casey's hair on fire after a squabble, so when the heiress announced her engagement to reality TV vixen Tila Tequila on December 9, 2009, it seemed like she had finally found true love.
Though some people speculated that the engagement was just a way for the ladies to get back at Courtenay (whom they had both dated and had major drama with over the past several years), the couple seemed pretty smitten to us when we chatted with them on December 10. Though Tila just confessed that the two had a minor quarrel on December 28, it didn't seem like anything that would have pushed Casey over the edge.
The Los Angeles County coroner has completed Casey's autopsy, and while results have been deferred, the coroner did release a statement saying there was "no evidence of trauma to the body," which seems to support LAPD's theory that Casey died of natural causes.
So what went wrong? The last time we saw her, she seemed so happy and in love...
So sad.

Tila should be hung for this gold digging video it made me sick to my stomach.Burn in hell tila!!Youn drugged her and used her.Your a Skank!! You should hook up with Lindsay Lohan your both GROSS
Hope Caseys Parents sue the tits off of you
Poor little lost girl..
She looked like a bit like Kim Basinger.
Tila is a piece of shit.
Bless her heart.
I'm afraid her fake tits won't help her now. I'm sorry she died though.
Tila should kill herself
She kinda had a bobble head doll body and face.
People who use/abuse drugs always find each other.
Who cares! I found a datingsite ((( M i l l i o n a i r e Chats。c0m )))) last week. The best datingclub for seeking the richsingles, sexy beauties. what's the most important is that you don't have to be a milllionaire, but you can meet one. Charlie Sheen found his true love on that site in 2007.
What a bunch of nasty filthy white hoes.
Casey Johnson RIP..Tila Tequila rot in hell
Poor Casey Johnson. She looks so sad and out of it. WHAT is that thing beside her????
Ghastly.
Darwin Award Winner!!!
Tila is appaling!
test
She didn't exactly look happy and in love to me, she looked high and out of it.
Seriously the moment I saw her with the very very low class Tila Tequila. (YUCK) I knew it was going to be a bad train wreck. :( She also looked very high that night when they spoke about there very silly engagement.
There is no love in Alcohol & Drug abuse, for everyone. Sad case, such a
lovely girl, so young, so troubled, so messed up. R.I.P.
Tila is the worst person. she should kill herself before she kills someone else.
what a pathetic family the Johnson's have become, there great fathers started the company in the late 1800's, over 100 years, grew and made it into a billion dollar company known the world over and this is what his great great grandchildren have become, trashy lesbian marring some trashy whore from a reality TV show..... talk about coming have cream and ending up in the garbage,
sad what happens when you don't marry right , divorce a million times, destroy ruined people, with just a few pennies left from the hard work of a rich family heritage
WOW! It looks like Casey used this suicide to flip her middle finger at her Dad for all eternity.
Both blohan and TT are opportunists on this tragedy, they should be ashamed, tarred and feathered and forced to watch Labor Pains.
As much as I hate to admit it, Michael Lohan does have a point regarding drugs and celebrities lately. There really is a lot of drug use and it's often fatal.
On the other hand, premature death does leave a fabulous looking corpse!
She looked like and was a train wreck. I wish people would care more when they are still alive than after they are dead.
its sad but most of these hollywood children endup drug abusers and aloholics
R.I.P Casey
WOW tila makes me sick. that girl was using casey for her money and for her name. !
crack hos
No real loss. Now if only we could get rid of somemore worthless people. Lindsay, Paris, Tila to name a few.
Why should we feel sorry for another stupid bimbo who has all the money in the world and can do so much with her life, but decide to spend their life drinking and doing drugs. Then they die and stupid people ask why. I feel no pity or sorrow for any of these stupid rich kids and young adults. They do not do anything to make the world a better place, unless its for a photo op. So I say who gives a crap if she is dead.
TT, u r a pig.
She could have led such a meaningful life..she had the looks the wealth and a powerful family behind her..instead she threw it all away..and all that is written about her is a "history of drug and alcohol abuse".what a waste! and to think millions of americans work 3 jobs to put their kids through school and give them a good education, just to get a basic start at life
