Casey Johnson’s Death May be Due to Drug Abuse

Casey Johnson, 30 year old socialite, was found dead at the age of 30 on Jan.4. Rumors are floating around as to the cause of death, especially that she was known to indulge heavily in prescription drugs. She did also have diabetes.

According to Radar Online, Casey had trouble sleeping and would often be up all night reportedly ordering prescription medication over the internet and trying to find way to sleep. She would also sleep a lot during the day.

The heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune recently made headlines as the apparent fiancee to reality star Tila Tequila. There was no evidence of foul play. The coroner's office will now take over the investigation and conduct their toxicology screenings."

Johnson was mother to a three year-old girl, Ava. Johnson adopted Ava in Kazakhstan in 2007, but the little girl is now in the custody of Johnson's mother, Sale Johnson, in Manhattan.

In a story so strikingly similar to Farrah Fawcett’s son, it is amazing how someone with so much money and so many advantages can throw away one’s life so easily. It was also being reported that her parents had paid for rehab for prescription drug abuse, but that she walked out.
