Casey Johnson Dead at 30

Socialite Casey Johnson, 30, died of still unknown cause last Monday. She was pronounced dead by the paramedics even before police officers arrived at her Los Angeles home at around 11:51 a.m. that day.

Casey is the daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, and heiress to the Johnson & Johnson business empire.

She gained celebrity status for being the girlfriend of the bisexual tv star, Tila Tequila.

She was also a high school classmate of Paris Hilton, and the part of Nicole Richie as Paris's co-star in "The Simple Life" was first offered to her.

The cause of her death is still deferred pending toxicological tests and microscopic studies that could last up to eight weeks.
