Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson died of natural causes related to diabetes, according to the Los Angeles County coroner, CNN reports.
Johnson, who was found dead on January 4 at age 30, was killed by diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication of untreated diabetes. She was best known as reality star Tila Tequila’s fiance, and for her friendships with other wealthy Hollywood progeny like the Hilton sisters and Nicole Richie. Her father, Woody Johnson, also owns the professional football team the New York Jets.
I guess thats put to rest to everyone who thought she died from drugs. If she only kept the diabetes in check.
Well i wouldnt say, it was total diabetes. You think Woody Johnson (Billionaire) gonna let the total truth come out? Ya she didnt keep in check. Meaning she was doign drugs and drinking (witch you CANNOT DO!!) Lost my friend cause of that. We all didnt just blame it on diabetes! Was casue he didnt take care of himself and STOP drinking. “keeping diabetes in check” you say that, like its so hard? You take your insulin and you DONT drink!! Not that complecated? I dont wish on anyone, still have friends who have. But her lifestyle casued her death, and yes it`s sad. But she knew couldnt do that stuff! Drugs or alchohol? Both LETHAL when it comes to diabetes. So woudlnt act like people were so wrong? Cause that stuff did contribute to her death. Not hard to keep on check. Make it sound like she was murdered? She did commit suicide by contuing to live that lifestyle, just like friend. So OD is not much worse then how she died? At least she knew she was killign herself but not takin care of he diabetes! THAT`S WORSE! So you are ripping people? Makes no sense! She knew she was killing herself, most OD`s dont. So this is dumber then OD! Like my friend! But didnt wanna listen. Thats worse!
I understand what you’re saying. But unless you live with this disease you have no right at all saying how easy it is to manage because you have no idea. I have type one diabetes ive had it since i was 8 years old. And no I dont drink but I do struggle with it every moment of everyday. So I don’t appreciate you saying how easy it is to just take your medicine and don’t drink. Thats like telling someone who smokes how easy it is to just quit. Or an alcoholic to sit at a bar and not drink. We all have some kind of addiction in some case its just life threatening.
She was not the fiance of that trailer trash. It was all a joke.
My husband almost died of this while being tested for whether he had diabetes. It looked and felt like the worst stomach flue in the world so we didn’t even know until he was almost in a coma. Please learn about the symptoms of diabetes so you can save a life. It might even be your own.
Regardless she was a person. She was someone daughter, mother who died of this terrible disease. Who care who she was with, she was a victim of this disease. I am a mother of a child with diabetes and it’s not as easy has it may seem. She my rest now in heaven with no more pain of needles Peace be with you and let’s help find a cure!!!
I completely agree with you Olive. Ive had diabetes since age 10 and it is soo hard people think its easy pricking your fingers twenty four seven and shooting up insulin, but its not. I try to take carre of myself but monitoring my diabetes is the hardest thing i deal with. just let your child know not to let it bring her down, but overcome her diabetes, by controlling the high and lows. hopefully theyll have a cure someday..:)
I thought someone claimed she wore an insulin pump to manage this. Others supposedly said the place where she died was littered with the needles/syringes she used to inject herself with insulin. It just seems odd that someone who had managed diabetes since childhood would suffer this kind of death.
Diabetes is the fastest growing disease in this country. Maybe instead of going after smokers (only 22% of Americans smoke) we can do something about this.
May she finally rest in peace. And let’s hope all of the rumors, especially with media junkie Tila Tequila. Its sad when you have to cash in on someone who has died…so sad….R.I.P beautiful angel.
I agree that unless you have diabetes (type 1) you don’t have a right to say how easy it is to manage. I have had diabetes (type 1) for almost 40 years, since I was 7. My parents totally helped me manage it when I was younger. I have never drank, or done drugs, I don’t eat anything with any substantial amount of sugar. and I do my insulin on time. Still it is not easy to keep blood sugar levels exactly where they should be. Things like exercise going out for dinner etc. all have an affect on blood sugar levels. It is an everyday struggle.
