New York – Casey Johnson, the hard-living, 30-year-old heiress to the Johnson and Johnson company empire, has been found dead in Los Angeles, news reports said Tuesday.
Johnson, whose drinking binges and rows with her lesbian lovers made her a regular in the tabloid pages, was found dead Monday, TMZ and other celebrity news sites said.
TMZ quoted a law enforcement source saying that she may have been dead for several days before her body was discovered. No cause of death has been declared.
Johnson was part of the family behind the huge Johnson and Johnson hygiene products and pharmaceutical business. Her father, Woody Johnson, owns the New York Jets football team and had just been celebrating progression on Sunday into the NFL playoffs tournament.
Johnson reportedly had a troubled relationship with her father and suffered from diabetes. Her love life frequently involved public disputes with girlfriends, including Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel, according to the New York Post.
Her most recent relationship was with fellow TV reality show star Tila Tequila. The Post reported that Tequila sent a tweet reading: "Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away."
