Casey Johnson dies of a suspected drugs overdose in her LA home

Casey Johnson, whose family founded the £110 billion Johnson and Johnson pharmaceuticals giant, was found dead at her Los Angeles home.

The socialite was the girlfriend of reality TV star Tila Tequila, a bisexual reality TV star best known for the MTV show A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila.

Los Angeles police spokeswomen Sara Faden said officers were called to her home at 11.51am yesterday, where paramedics had already pronounced her dead.

'It appears to be a natural death. There’s no evidence of foul play. A toxicology report from the coroner’s office will proceed next,' she said

Miss Tequila believes her girlfriend died of a prescription drugs overdose, sources have told American celebrity website RadarOnline.

Ms Johnson was known to have a history of drug abuse, and reports in the US say she may have been dead for a number of days before her body was found.

Shortly after news of her death emerged, Miss Tequila aired her grief on her Twitter page.
