Casey Johnson - heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, has died

Another tragic young life snuffed out for no apparent reason, she died in L.A. New reports say the body was discovered this morning (Monday, January 4).

She was 30 years old, the daughter of Woody Johnson - owner of the New York Jets.
Johnson was arrested in November for grand theft - the alleged victim was a former girlfriend. She was arrested and taken to the Van Nuys jail and held on $20,000 bail.

So what was she famous for other than being an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune? Johnson was reportedly engaged to Tila Tequila. According to the website TMZ, Tila says they were fighting last week and that Casey stayed at Tila's house on the 28th. Tila had tried contacting Casey on the 29th because Casey had left her dogs behind. Tila says Casey's phone has been shut off since the 29th and she was not able to make contact. She was apparently found dead on Monday after being dead for several days according to some sources.

At the age of 14, Johnson co-wrote a book with her father entitled Managing Your Child's Diets, due to the fact that she was diagnosed with diabetes at age 8. She has appeared as herself on the television shows The Fabulous Life of... and E! True Hollywood Story. In addition she was a popular Hollywood socialite known for making outrageous headlines.

Johnson openly declared her sexuality as a lesbian. One of her ex-girlfriends was Courtenay Semel (whom she dated on and off during 2008–2009 and who set Johnson's hair on fire in January of 2009, after a fight[4]). On November 30, 2009, Johnson was arrested for allegedly stealing jewelry, shoes, 600 pages of a legal document, clothing, and underwear from Jasmine Lennard, who was tipped off by Semel (whom she was seeing at the time). Johnson allegedly left a used vibrator and wet towel as a calling card.

On December 9, 2009, Johnson and Tila Tequila announced that they were engaged. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
