The celebrity web site TMZ is reporting Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson has been found dead in Los Angeles.
Johnson, 30, is also the daughter of NY Jets owner Woody Johnson.
TMZ reported Johnson's body was found Monday morning. They said she last tweeted on December 29th at 1:13 a.m.
The cause of death has not been determined.
TMZ also reported that Johnson was recently engaged to reality TV star/tabloid fixture Tila Tequila.
Johnson was also something of a tabloid fixture. She reportedly was arrested for grand theft in November for stealing from an ex-girlfriend.

Is that a hairdo? Looks like the effects of a wind tunnel test!

The second verse:
"Looks like you spent the night in a trench
And tell me, how long have you been combing your hair with a wrench?
Blue roses are dead and the violets are too
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you"
Who knows though TMZ says she had fallen into a diabetic coma twice.
>>Casey Johnson fell into a diabetic coma twice and had to be hospitalized, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We’re told Johnson had a history of diabetes and insulin syringes were found in her home after she died.
Johnson was taken at least once to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. We do not know specific dates of hospitalization, but we’re told at least one incident occurred in the last year.
As we first reported, Johnson was found dead in her home yesterday.
Law enforcement tells us they believe she had been dead for several days.
NY Post: “Tequila told pals last night that Johnson had overdosed on prescription pills, RadarOnline reported.
The Web site also reported that Johnson was known to indulge in prescription drugs.
But Johnson’s death may have been from natural causes since a preliminary investigation turned up no signs of foul play, UsWeekly magazine reported on its Web site.”
When I read these stories, I think, “maybe the death tax isn’t such a bad idea, afterall.” Why shouldn’t kids of the rich be forced to make their own way, instead of becoming spoiled, rich trust fund kids.
Oh, come on! Families like these—like the Kennedys, for example—aren’t hurt by death taxes. They don’t have to pay them. They have all the family coin hidden away in untouchable trusts. The death taxes hurt the family farms (nearly always cash-poor) far more then they hurt the celebutards.
A good point.
If a person is simply given wealth, instead of earning their own way through life, they never grow up and leave childhood behind. Life just become one party after another with no responsibility. I’ll give Bill Gates some credit: he has state he will limit his kids to only 5 million each. Just enough to live well, but small enough that they could screw it up quick. We’ll see if he holds to his word or his wife changes his mind.
