Carrey gal’s Rx for death
3 Rx near Carrey gal’s body
THREE PILL bottles found near the body of Jim Carrey’s ex-girlfriend after her apparent suicide were prescribed under an alias to her actor beau, according to a report.
TMZ.com said Saturday that Los Angeles officials were interested in speaking with Carrey about the death of Cathriona White, 30, whose body was found Monday night in her California home.
A note addressed to the movie star was discovered with the bottles near the Irish makeup artist’s lifeless body, authorities told the Daily News.
The painkiller Percocet, along with the sleep aid Ambien and blood pressure medication Propranolol, were all found at her bedside, according to TMZ.
The same doctor prescribed all three to Carrey’s false name.
Her body was found by Los Angeles police and paramedics when worried friends called authorities, fearful that she might have taken her life after the couple’s Sept. 24 breakup.
White left behind several suicide notes, including the one addressed to Carrey, 53, People magazine reported Friday. The final results of an autopsy are expected to take several weeks due to toxicology testing.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office and a rep for Carrey (right) did not reply to The News’ request for comment.
The couple shared an up-and-down relationship dating back to 2012, breaking up and reuniting over the three years. They were seen holding hands in May during a trip to New York.
The star of “The Mask” and “The Cable Guy” issued a heartfelt statement after the shocking death where he remembered White as a “truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil.” Carrey is twice divorced: His first marriage to actress Melissa Wormer failed in 1995 after eight years, and his union with “Dumb and Dumber” costar Lauren Holly burned out after a year.
His other high-profile romances included singer Linda Ronstadt, actress Renee Zellweger and TV talk show host Jenny McCarthy.
White’s family traveled to Los Angeles last week to make arrangements to return the body to her native Ireland for burial, according to People.
The actor arranged for a car and driver to meet the family at the Los Angeles airport, and spend time consoling his late girlfriend’s sister, Lisa.
Carrey is “doing everything he can to help” the family, including pitching in to cover the costs, People reported.
