Actor Jim Carrey said he was “shocked and deeply saddened” on Tuesday by the apparent suicide of a former girlfriend.
Cathriona White, 30, an Irish-born make-up artist who was pictured out with Carrey in the past several months, was found dead in her LA apartment on Monday night.
She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled. We have all been hit with a lightning bolt.
— Jim Carrey said in a statement, calling White “my sweet Cathriona.”
A drug overdose was suspected because several pills were found near her body. The death was called into authorities as a suicide but a final determination has yet to be made, police said. This was White’s last tweet.
White and “Bruce Almighty” star Carrey, 53, met in 2012, had an on-and-off romance, and rekindled their relationship in May before splitting up last week.
