Johnson & Johnson Heiress Found Dead

Casey Johnson, the socialite heiress of the Johnson & Johnson fortune who had recently announced her engagement to reality TV star Tila Tequila, was found dead at her Los Angeles home today, police said.

Police said Johnson, 30, the daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, appears to have died of natural causes.

“Our officers conducted a preliminary investigation which appears to be an apparent natural death,” Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Officer Sara Faden said. “There was no evidence of any foul play and the case is now being handled by the coroners, pending a toxicology report.”

Jesse Derris, a spokesman for Woody Johnson, told The Associated Press the family is mourning the tragic loss of Casey Johnson. In a statement, the family asked for privacy “during this very difficult time.”

Last month, Johnson and Tequila, the star of “A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila,” which ran for two seasons on MTV, had announced their engagement in an online video, and thefrisky.com reported that the two showed up at a party together and Tequila showed off a large ring, saying, “It’s 17-carat diamond ring from my baby. My baby is a billionaire!”
