Casey Johnson Did Not Die of a Drug Overdose

She actually died of a drug underdose, if you can even believe it. And if “underdose” is a word.

Casey Johnson’s autopsy results were revealed today and although everyone was certain that the heiress would turn up with any number of drugs in her system, that wasn’t the case at all. Casey Johnson died because she didn’t take care of her diabetes. From TMZ:

The L.A. County Coroner says the cause of death was “Diabetic Ketoacidosis” and the manner of death was “natural.”

But our sources say the Coroner’s findings clearly show Johnson — who died at 30 — was not taking her insulin shots, was not exercising, did not follow her strict diet and was not taking other medicines she needed.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a technical term for lack of insulin, which often leads to a diabetic coma. We previously reported where Johnson was hospitalized for diabetic comas at least twice before her death.

Although Casey’s death has been chalked up to diabetes, we also have to consider what kind of state someone would have to be in to show such disregard for their health. Clearly there is much more to this story than diabetes. Casey was a mother, she was wealthy, she supposedly was in love with her fiancee Tila Tequila (although those close to her say that that whole relationship was just a plea for attention.) She had no reason not to take her medication if she wanted to live and she had to know that death was a possible result of her inability to care for herself if she’d already been in two diabetic comas. Unfortunately, I’m pretty convinced that Casey’s real cause of death was whatever depression or mental illness she suffered from in addition to the diabetes.

It’s been a surprising day for dead celebrity news, that’s for sure.
