The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled that 30-year-old Casey Johnson — the heiress of the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson — died of natural causes: diabetic ketoacidosis.

Because of Johnson’s reckless partying lifestyle (allegedly involving alcohol) and her negligence to take her daily dose of life-saving insulin, her unwise choices resulted in the socialite’s untimely demise. Sadly, her adopted daughter, Ava-Monroe, 3, (whom is named after after Marilyn Monroe) is now motherless. A celebrity blogging source stated that Ava will live with Johnson’s parents: her mother Sale and her step-father Ahmad Rashad.
Many rumors are circulating that Johnson’s fiance Tequila is withholding information regarding the untimely death of the late heiress.
Inquiring and concerned people want to know the truth:
- Who was using Johnson’s Twitter account during the short time around her death?
- Why wasn’t Tequila with her as she went into diabetic shock?
- Why wasn’t Tequila around to help Johnson and to seek immediate medical attention?
- Why haven’t Johnson’s body was found sooner?
The answer to these and many other reasonable questions may never be answered. Moreover, the Los Angeles County coroner’s inability to determine Johnson “actual cause” is becoming increasingly questionable. Did Johnson abused alcohol prior to her death? Why didn’t Tequila discovered was Johnson missing sooner? Was the Johnson/Tequila romance was a hoax? Inquiring and concerned people want to know the FULL truth about the death of Casey Johnson!
Lesson learned: don’t take your life for granted. Lesson taught: if you live hard, you shall also die hard. Diabetic ketoacidosis is the deadly end result of a diabetic’s failure to take his or her daily dose of insulin.
If you or someone you know is a diabetic who takes insulin, please take your daily doses of insulin as prescribed. Doing so will prevent diabetic ketoacidosis and greatly reduces your chances of suffering from diabetic complications.
