Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson has died at the age of 30, People reports. She was reportedly engaged to reality TV star Tila Tequila. Johnson was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Monday. “It appears to be a natural death,” police Officer Sara Faden told People. “There’s no evidence of foul play. A toxicology report from the coroner’s office will proceed next.” Tequila tweeted about 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.” Johnson was the daughter of New York Jets owner Robert Wood Johnson.

I think she was in an episode of MTV Cribs once. Maybe it was some other show like that. I remember she had a lot a J&J stuff. Whatever the case, that’s incredibly sad. I wish people would stop dying so young.
Natural Schmatural……
My condolences to the Johnson Family.
As if losing a loved one is not hard enough, to lose someone so young is very very sad.
TRAGIC!
“Natural,” in the context of these very preliminary reports, simply means that there was no foul play involved.
Yes natural causes could be a factor in her death if she’s a diabetic. Diabetic coma and death is common if you don’t take care of yourself. Diabetes is not forgiving.
RIP Cassie…….we love you!!!!!!!!!
Obviously not very much, since you spelt her name wrong, “Beiber”. Which you spelt wrong too, by the way.
@lime……actually EINSTEIN it should be. “SPELLED” not “SPELT” as you wrongly used not once, but twice. “SPELT” is actually ” a hearty wheat grown mostly in Europe for livestock feed”. So before you correct someone else, know what the heck YOU are talking about.
Dude/ Dudette, are you actually telling “Beiber” that he/she spelled their OWN name wrong????
Oh my gosh…a spelling fight?!?! WEBSTER SMASH.
Ha ha ha lime….you got O-W-N-E-D!!!!!!!!!
This is an answer to prof. Plum. I’m not a native English speaker, but I know that ‘SPELT’ is the past tense for SPELL. Therefore, our buddy was right. If you look up any dictionary, you’ll confirm that. I wish you better luck next time. cheers.
*it can be, bahaha.
Hahahahahahahahah wowwwwwww ALL of you serial spellers and serial speller correctors realllllllly need lives. Have any of you ever kissed a girl/boy???????
*snicker snicker*
You spelled “cereal” wrong
My goodness how sad. What in the world is going on with these young people??
Drugs, that’s what’s going on with all these young celebrities dying of “natural causes”…
Americans are over medicated. Every drug even aspirn damages your body over time in some way. Taking a drug to cure or mitigate a health problem is basically choosing the lesser of two evils. The idea is to become healthy enough with the drugs so you can get off them as soon as possible. People today look to drugs as solutions to any ache or problem and think more is better so they feel healthy all the time. We Americans abuse drugs all the time every little headache or slight discomfort we rush to the medicine cabinet. We are just killing ourselves in a different way. Thats just for fully on the level drug taking.
there are a LOT of us who don’t take any drugs at all, even aspirins, painkillers, whatever. it’s more widespread than you might think.
yes, there are those who do, but please, tell me you don’t see the antics of george michael or kate moss and amy winehouse, et al .. and think that represents the actions of the average british citizen.
also, um, her family is a huge drugs/pharma company, hello…
i think all of u r funny,someone passed way,i just want to say that spelled sounds more proper,anyways,my prayers go out to the family n my you rest in peace…….
Sorry….condolences to Tila as well.
You are sweet carrie!
who is tila?
The Jets suck. They will lose their first playoff game.
Sooo relevant here.
So will the Eagles.
natural selection more like it.
Wow! An awful lot of 30-year olds are dying of “natural causes” these days.
Yeah, it’s like there’s some mysterious virus going around that’s affecting people in their late 20s and early 30s, causing them to die of “natural causes”,
Yeah………..mysterious…..
wow scaryyyyy, i hope chocolate isnt a factor, coz i’m nearly 30 and i love chocolate, and BK twice a month if i can!
Yeah it’s called drugs…sorry I just can;t feel sorry for people that throw their lives away.
Looks like 2009 is reaching its Long Arm of Death right into 2010…
Shut up, Donner. Thousands of people die each and every year, the only difference is that nobody pays attention to most of them unless they’re some spoiled celebrity. How about mourning the thousands upon thousands of people who die of malnourishment, disease and war, etc?
that said.. my condolences to her family.
agreed with 100% In my opinion however, the only reason more than the family cared was because Tila “tweeted” it. Grow up, if you actually care about someone whats the point of putting it on your status? Its attention deprivation
I am in total agreement, no one cares about the normal people, its the spoiled rich people that take whatever drug they want, and no 30 year old dies of natural causes, come on, EVERYONE knows its mixture of drugs and somethin else.
God’s punishment for her unnatural lifestyle.
To: frank n beans
Really? God’s punishment? So when you and your holier than thou self dies will that be God’s punishment for your lack of love for your neighbors? Or will it just be because… EVERYONE dies?
How sad. When will these young celebs stop doing drugs (if thats what happened). They have everything any human can want and they just lose their lives so senselessly.. Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy, Michael Jackson and now Casey Johnson. How very tragic.
If I’m not mistaken, Heath Ledger wasn’t “doing drugs,” which sounds elicit. I believe he died of an accidental combination of prescribed meds, which he got from two different countries (home and where he had been shooting a movie) and wasn’t aware were fatal when mixed.
Meds=Drugs. You fail at life.
You don’t call taking prescription medication for medical purposes “doing drugs” even when it ends up being a lethal combination.
elicit =/= illicit
illicit = illegal
taking/prescribing meds other than as appropriate = illegal
no, he wasn’t ‘doing drugs’ but he was killed by ‘doing his drugs wrong’
Reports are saying she had diabetes and was hospitalized several times from complications of the disease. I don’t know Casey’s history, but there may be another way she had passed besides concluding it was drugs.
Its getting scary how young people are dying like that, I feel kinda bad for Tila too, she has so much bad luck on the Love game.
Tila is an idiot, I can’t stand her and she is just gettin her 15 min of fame. Whether makin out with dudes or girls on national t.v., or fightin with pro football players or gettin hooked up with an heiress, come on, she wanted the bling and thats it.
A worthless heiress who has never contributed to the world of entertainment has died. Who cares? Maybe now her parents will leave that money to a good cause. Tila, tweeting about her death proves you are nothing but a attention whore. Time to find a new meal ticket.
Wow, Jeff. Kinda cold, don’t you think? Takes an awfully insecure man to go around calling people worthless.
i agree that was a little cold, but in a way it is sort of true. i had never heard of casey johnson until today and what i know of tila, she sounds like a person that wants everyone to know everything about her.
maybe you should have not been so cold right after she died.
BS, I agree, it’s not cold blooded, it’s reality people
not insecure, he is correct, Tila is worthless.
Cold. No matter who she was, remember someone died, someone who was undoubtedly loved. She was also an adoptive mother. Sure, she didn’t cure cancer, but that’s no reason to be a jerk about her death.
It is drama queens like you that make me fear the world will become over sensitive to everything…wait a second, it already has
People will forget about her in 15 minutes. Now quit whining you bleeding heart pansy.
She was an adoptive mother who only got the kid as an accessory like Paris Hilton gets dogs..she had the kid taken away because she was an unfit mother.
And what have you guys done to contribute to society? What have you done to change the world? I’m pretty sure if someone you loved dropped dead and someone else said “who cares, they didn’t do anything to make the world a better place”, you’d punch them in the face. Casey had a family that loved and cared for her, now they have suffered a tremendous loss. Non-famous people who haven’t done much with their lives die everyday, does that mean their deaths mean nothing to their families? And what makes you guys judges on who should live and who should die? Bunch of hypocritical jerks, you are.
Has everyone forgotten Casey laid there for several days before being found? Where were all the people that “loved” her then? Where was miss wifey Tila and all those close friends and family? It truly makes me wonder, especially the absence of her broken up twittering fiance! God’s peace to all who are suffering her loss.
It’s comments like this that make me fear for humanity. I guess that some pathetic individuals think that they have the right to determine which people are “important” enough to deserve to live.
It is drama queens like you that make me fear the world will become over sensitive to everything…wait a second, it already has
everyone deserves to live, but its the attention that celebrities get, that is overrated. Who hears about the average joe that dies at 30? NO ONE, it’s sad that a young life was lost, but serious? Why is everyone so defensive on this one person who died? And Tila is an attention seeking Whore.
bet you think that the armed forces are worthless too, you just seem like the idiot say something stupid like that. A life is a life and some one cared about her, like hopefully some one cares about you and you might care about them, so God forbid some one said something like that to you i bet you would wanna fight them or something happened to you i bet you would want your family to stand up for you, but since its not you or a family member to you then its ok for you to say that some one is worthless.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
WTF does a spoiled rich druggie have to do with the hard working young men and women in the armed forces? whoever wrote this comment is a pathetic piece of garbage and needs to put downt he gossip magazine and volunteer at the V.A. to see how celebrities are nothing like these guys who risk their lives for our country….and Tila Tequila is a piece of crap.
Im sorry she died but in my opinion and the way people are all about money and respect, It wouldnt suprise me that her own family may have had her bumped off for making the family look bad for being engaged to some little “attention deprived” tree mouse. In alot of families with old money that would be considered very embarrassing, disrespectful and unheard of.
That’s actually not true. She helped the Co. somehow (I can’t remember) and and was supposed to get her father’s job (I believe. It’s been a few years since I saw her on that show.)
How dare people compare soldiers deaths to a spoiled rich partier that hooked up with a wannabee internet hooker, a life is a life, what we are upset about is all the hoopla that people give to these people who are just in the rag mags. Keep it real folks,
Drug abusers are worthless.
I hope your mother dies.
Okay, I don’t care what the context is, that is a HORRIBLE thing to say.
Of a drug oversdose.
drug users are self loathing pieces of garbage that decided to waste away at a needle or a pipe instead of making the world a better place. Besides suicide become a worthless druggie is the most selfish thing in the world to do.
On the money, jeff.
Well, Tila found another way to get her worthless name in the news.
I don’t know who she was, but that’s really sad. She was very young.
i feel sorry for the family for their loss but i am grossed out by tila. didn’t her boyfriend just beat her up or something? and what is it with heiresses being idiots?
I know right, are they ALL airheads??
No, just the ones you hear about on entertainment sites. I’m sure there are plenty of intelligent and capable heiresses, but we never hear about them because they’re too busy doing something worthwhile to play the celebutante game.
simple: inbreeding
This is not ENTERTAINMENT news.
EW continues to slide into National Enquirer territory.
So TRUE!
You are so right.
Casey Johnson was associated with someone in entertainment, as well as a notable person on her own as she is affiliated with a major company. The announcement EW made of her death was short and appropriate. National Enquirer makes up outlandish stories and gossip. EW is simply reporting.
I also find it funny that the people who are expressing their agreement with this named themselves “Casey” and “Tila”. Smart.
It’s obviously meant to be a JOKE genius!!!
Apparently LIME, somebody is just TRYING to be funny. Looks like you are the “smart” one.
Yet… you chose to read it.
Wasnt she just getting choked by that football player she was with. Now she is engaged?
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A WASTE OF A HUMAN BEING. I SAW HER ONCE BRAGGING ABOUT HER MONEY AND HER UNBELIEVABLE LIFESTYLE, THAT SHE COULD HAVE ANYTHING SHE WANTS…. SHE COULD HAVE. WHERE WAS EVERYONE THT CARE ABOUT HER??? WHY COULD THIS HAPPEN. WITH ALL THAT MONEY SHE COULD HAVE DONE SO MANY GOOD THINGS IN LIFE. ITS DISGUSTS ME HOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO MUCH GOOD JUST BECOME SELF INDULGENT IDIOTS. WHAT A WASTE.
LAY OFF THE CAPS KEY
MAKE US!
A clear example of why lesbianism is wrong in the eyes of god!
in that case, your god’s a d*ck.
Don’t blame God just because some of His “followers” are jerks.
mtraptor, don’t hate because you have no friends. Get out of your moms basement and head to the mall or something…
why, because lesbians can die young too? Just like Brittany Murphy, a heterosexual? that’s so horrible that you’d take someones death as an excuse to spread judgement.
and you’re an example of why religion is best reserved for feeble minded idiots.
Ummm… I don’t know which “god” you’re referring to, but my God gets capitalized… Or maybe your “god” doesn’t deserve it?
Yasir, you should be ashamed of yourself for saying that in the wake of someone’s death. You seem like a very ignorant person.
KEEP UR GOD COMMENTS 2 URSELF.BEING N E THING THAT U WANT IS UR BUSINESS,NO1 EVER HAS A RIGHT 2 JUDGE U IN N E WAY.
Just off the record, BigMama, just by looking at your comment I would say you must text alot!!! LOL j/k
go back to school, stupid.
So sad her death has to be wrapped up even more with Tila’s plain being whore and media whore to!
much as I dislike Tila Tequila, that is so terrible. Condolences to her and the Johnson family.
Tila is such a flake
is tila tequila a lesbian to say that casey johnson is her wifey
Yes alpheus.
