The untimely death of troubled Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson was a long downward spiral on prescription drugs.
Casey’s sudden death was no surprise to her family. Since her body was discovered at her Los Angeles January 4 by a shocked and terrified maid, new heart-wrenching details of a family’s battle to save a sick, drug addled wild child have emerged.
RadarOnline.com reports Casey, 30, struggled with severe mental problems – her insomnia wracked nights of sleepless torment, ordering prescription medication over the internet determined to find sweet release in sleep.
After exhausting herself with late night partying, the troubled heiress would finally crash during the daylight hours, often sleeping 16 hours.
Sources close to Casey say she experimented with cocaine as well.
Her family was more than concerned about her volatile relationship with fiancée Tila Tequila, to whom Casey had been engaged.
Johnson was in dire straits and as her family desperately tried to save her, a car was standing by 24/7 ready to whisk her away to the best rehab facility money could buy.
Alas, too little, too late.
