Casey Johnson — socialite, Johnson & Johnson heiress, and daughter of NY Jets owner Woody Johnson — has died. TMZ reported the death of the 30 year old last night, saying that she "last tweeted on December 29th," and prior to that had been briefly staying with her fiance, Tila Tequila. The two were allegedly fighting last week, and when Johnson left Tila's house on the 29th, she left her dogs behind — Tila says was unable to get in touch with her afterwards.
Her body was discovered at her LA home yesterday morning, but the police say she had been dead for several days. No cause of death has been stated, and there's an open investigation. The Daily News points out that the troubled heiress had been in and out of rehab, and had other problems recently — including an arrest. They also report that no foul play is suspected at this time.
Johnson was a regular in the New York gossip rags, and a few years ago Vanity Fair ran a pretty insane profile on the socialite. As for the mourning fiance, Tila Tequila has been Twittering up a storm.
