The Los Angeles County Coroner's office has announced that the death of Johnson and Johnson heiress, Casey Johnson was diabetes related induced by a lack of insulin. The report also stated that prescription drugs found in her system contributed to the socialite's untimely death.
Johnson, 30, was found dead in her L.A. home January 5 by her maid. She had been dead for several days.
The coroner's report stated that Johnson failed to take her insulin and her death was caused by diabetic ketoacidosis, a life threatening condition brought on by a lack of insulin and a rise in blood sugar levels. The findings of the LA coroner didn't surprise many who say Johnson consistently failed to manage her diabetes which put her into a diabetic induced coma twice before her death.
During the last year of Johnson's life, she made scandalous headline after headline as her drugging, drinking and erratic behavior grew increasingly worse. At one time, her mother found the young heiress living in squalor conditions with her daughter and assumed custody of her adopted daughter, Ava.
In December, the baby oil heiress was charged with burglary and receiving stolen property for allegedly taking $22,000 in clothing, jewelry and other items from friend, model Jasmine Lennard. She pleaded not guilty to the charges prior to her death.
Johnson was engaged to reality TV star Tila Tequila and co-authored a book "Managing your Child's Diabetes" in 1994 with her father, NY Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Last month, the Jets owner thanked players for taking the team within just one win of getting to Super Bowl XLIV during such an emotional time for him and his family.
"Under the circumstances, I couldn't be prouder of this team," he said. "I look forward to doing it next year. We just hope to be able to go a little further, one game further, and then on to the next one."
