Casey Johnson’s Death Caused by Neglect
Feb 4th 2010 12:42PM by TMZ Staff
Casey Johnson died because she simply did not take care of herself … sources connected with the autopsy tell TMZ.
The L.A. County Coroner says the cause of death was “Diabetic Ketoacidosis” and the manner of death was “natural.”
But our sources say the Coroner’s findings clearly show Johnson — who died at 30 — was not taking her insulin shots, was not exercising, did not follow her strict diet and was not taking other medicines she needed.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a technical term for lack of insulin, which often leads to a diabetic coma. We previously reported where Johnson was hospitalized for diabetic comas at least twice before her death.
Coroner: Casey Johnson died of natural causes
Los Angeles, California (CNN) — Casey Johnson, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, died of natural causes related to diabetes, the Los Angeles County coroner said Thursday.
The 30-year-old socialite was found dead at a friend’s home January 4, authorities said.
Johnson was one of the great-great-granddaughters of Robert Wood Johnson, a co-founder of the pharmaceutical giant, and was the daughter of Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets professional football team.
She died of diabetic ketoacidosis, the coroner found. The Mayo Clinic describes the condition as a serious complication of untreated diabetes.
Johnson was in the news recently because of her relationship with Internet and reality television star Tila Tequila.
