Jim Carrey Allegedly Gave Deceased Girlfriend Percocet, Oxycontin, Other Dangerous Drugs

Actor Jim Carrey has been sued by Cathriona White's husband, for allowing her access to his prescription drugs, such as Percocet and Fentanyl. The lawsuit was filed in California Superior Court Monday Morning, and includes causes of action for wrongful death, and for alienation of affection.

On September 28, 2015, White, was found dead from a possibly intentional prescription drug overdose. Carrey's on-off girlfriend, the two met each other sometime in 2012. Carrey was a pallbearer at her funeral in Tipperary.

"The evidence is fairly substantial that he, under a false name, obtained controlled substances that were used by Ann White. If the cover up intentions are true, then it could be evidence of a consciousness of guilt, said one Plaintiff's attorney. He added that cases like these can be challenging for celebrity defendants to disprove, even when totally false. Carrey has yet to formally respond to the allegations. He told Yahoo news that "the lawsuit is a heartless attempt to exploit me."

This is a civil lawsuit; there is no criminal investigation taking place against Jim Carrey, says the LAPD.
