Jim Carrey's girlfriend, Cathriona White was proclaimed dead on Monday, Sept.28 of apparent suicide five days after she and "Dumb and Dumber" actor called it quits. White reportedly took the drug prescriptions given allegedly by the 53-year-old comedian.
White was found laying beside three empty bottles in her resident in Los Angeles. The makeup artist was said to have overdosed on three medicines- Percocet, a pain killer; Ambien, a sleeping pill and Propranolol, a medication for blood pressure, according to Fox News. The investigations team claimed that the medications taken by Jim's girlfriend were named after a fictitious male, which happens to be the alias of the comedian.
It is said that Hollywood celebrities use pen name or pseudonyms to hide their identities when they are getting prescriptions for their conditions. One source told TMZ that there's a probability that she might have taken the medications from the actor's home. However, the allegation has not yet been confirmed. It is also said that although she died of drug overdose, the toxicology department has yet to determine which particular drug could have killed Jim's girlfriend.
Meanwhile, a photo of Jim and his girlfriend emerged online, where the two were seen kissing each other during her birthday weeks before she committed suicide. The couple celebrated her birthday at Nobu restaurant in Malibu on September 19. The two were seen intimate as they hug and kiss each other in a private balcony table overlooking the ocean in the sushi hotspot, Daily Mail reports.
"They looked really happy together, kissing and looking into each other's eyes. It was a very romantic meal. They arrived together and went straight out to their table, secluded away from the other diners on the balcony," a source told Daily Mail. The source went to add that "It just seemed like a happy couple having a romantic dinner. That's made the news about Cathriona even more shocking."
The next day, Jim's girlfriend wrote on Twitter saying how happy she was about her late birthday celebration at Nobu. However, White didn't mention anything about her boyfriend. Meanwhile, sources close to the couple claimed that the "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" star didn't intend to have a long breakup with White. She reportedly wrote in her suicide note that the actor broke up with her on Sept. 24. Her friends tried to console her by telling her that Jim cared for her, but she took it in a different way.
The authorities are likely to interview Jim soon. The 53-year-old actor is flying to Ireland to attend his girlfriend's funeral. There will be a service at the Cappawhite, County Tipperary. There are also speculations that Scientology's course Survival Rundown could have played a part in her death.
