Apparently the LA Coroner’s Office decided they should get around to solving those high-profile deaths today, because they’ve also announced the final results of Casey Johnson’s autopsy. People reports:
The specific cause of death was “diabetic ketoacidosis,” a condition caused by a shortage of insulin, according to a coroner statement.
Shortly after her death, a law enforcement source told PEOPLE that hypodermic needles were found in the home, and they suspected Johnson partied the night before she died and neglected to take her insulin. No illicit drugs were found.
So if I’m reading this right, Casey Johnson essentially died from being a drunken moron. Or is “diabetic ketoacidosis” a fancy word for Tila Tequila? Not that this couldn’t go both ways.

One of those unfortunate fat headed people which makes you think they’re fatter than they actually are. Rene Zellwegger’s the other one that comes to mind. Also a probably entirely preventable death like Murphy’s. Sad.

That’s so pathetic. Instead of going out in a blaze of booze and drugs, she died because she forgot to set her insulin injection timer.
I expected better of the girl whose hair was set on fire by an ex and once stole the vibrator and underwear of another ex.
The Girl's Guide to Depravity | February 4, 2010 at 2:30 pm
That’s so pathetic. I expected more from the girl who broke into an ex’s home to steal her vibrator and panties than just “forgot to take her insulin.”
crackface | February 4, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Diabetic ketoacidosis is when the acid in your blood is way higher than it’s supposed to be, due to out of control blood-sugars (for some time) & its a horrible way to die. I lived through it and can’t imagine dying from it. You first start vomiting because the pain in your stomach is so horrible, your freezing and then it becomes very hard to breath which eventually leads to a coma and if no action is taken death.
Ashley | February 4, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I highly, highly doubt that this girl “forgot” to take her insulin. I think it’s more likely that she suffered from diabulimia. If you’re an ignorant asshole who has no idea what that is, use google. These sorts of death are very common with diabulimics who have an almost impossibly high death rate of 34.8% PER YEAR. There needs to be an investigation into whether or not this is what happened here, and there needs to be a public discussion about the seriousness of neglecting to take your insulin.
josh | February 4, 2010 at 3:27 pm
She was an idiotic person, but calling her a moron because she forgot to take her insulin is slightly harsh. It’s not as if she was doing heaps of cocaine and her heart gave out, she just forgot at a crucial moment, perhaps passed out drunk before she could take it which seems most likely.
Most people have the luxury of not having to worry about taking insulin when they’re caned, so cut her some slack.
bribios | February 4, 2010 at 3:29 pm
@8
“ignorant asshole” for not knowing what what diabulimia is? That’s a bit harsh. Like calling someone an “ignorant asshole” for not knowing who Jude Steffan is.
TreyFL3 | February 4, 2010 at 3:30 pm
If you’re DRINKING and a diabetic, you have a death wish. Drugs aren’t helpful, either.
Ashley | February 4, 2010 at 3:31 pm
I guess that I meant “ignorant asshole” more toward people who were immediately jumping on this news to call a dead person they never met all kinds of names than just regular folks who aren’t familiar with diabulimia.

Very interesting information. Thanks. I think you may have a very good point.

Relax, dear. It’s only the internet.

As a diabetic, I can say that you won’t die if you miss a single injection of insulin. Also, I occasionally party, drink and all that, and I’m still healthier than your average fat American…
crackface | February 4, 2010 at 4:05 pm
@ ihateemo
Did you ignore the part where I typed that I have lived through a DKA attack, I didn’t look this up on wiki because there was no need to. I’m a type 1 diabetic since I was 11 & know exactly what happens when your blood sugars are high for a long time because I’ve done it, stupidly.
Ashley | February 4, 2010 at 4:05 pm
@15, thanks for the backup. Obviously this may not be what happened to Casey, but it deserves some investigation and I wouldn’t be surprised.
I need off the internet, the pettiness, hate, and outright malice here and insane.
Richard McBeef | February 4, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Always find it funny when some stupid bitch comes to this site, named the SUPERFICIAL, then gets their mom jeans all bunched up when somebody tells them to go fuck themselves, especially after calling somebody else an “ignorant asshole”.
whatever | February 4, 2010 at 4:25 pm
@Ashley
Just ignore it. Responses like that are just irrational and all kinds of fallacious so either call them out on it or ignore and move on. And yeah, it is very interesting. She was clearly a troubled girl, had very little in the way of supportive family and friends so that kind of conclusion makes perfect sense. I look forward to seeing more of your kind of informed and actually quite thoughtful input (don’t call people ignorant, though) so keep it up.
@crackface
Yeah, same for you. It’s a clear troll so just sport with it or ignore. I got what you were saying and again, very interesting so thanks.

@ashley and whatever – you know what conclusion makes sense??? How about the one the fucking coroner came up after a legitimate investigation?
Whore's son Bean | February 4, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I bet her corpse smelled like “feesh partz”.
Teh end.
Ashley | February 4, 2010 at 4:50 pm
The coroner declares a physical cause of death, but it has very little to do with the emotional cause. Diabetic Ketoacidosis can come about in more than on way.
Unfortunately, whatever, It’s always best for me to stay away from these sorts of sites, so I try not to visit or comment too often. It’s all so completely ridiculous, I cannot help but wonder what is so bad in so many people’s lives that coming on the internet and putting down celebrities (including those who has passed on) makes them feel better. Hopefully you’ll stick around here and kick some butt. I’ll stop by when I can.

Ahh, typos.

Yup. No-one was disregarding the coroner’s conclusion but you can’t measure psychological behavior via the means of an autopsy, Polyanna. Think better.

The hatin’ was getting me mad, so I am hereby apologize for overreacting. I admit to being wrong in that moment. There was no need for me to go to that level just because others did.
Also, let’s not misuse the word “irony.”
Scott Joplin | February 4, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Who gives a shit about the psychological cause of her death. Bitch is dead, you didn’t know her, and probably had never even heard of her before she died. i don’t get why you give such a shit.
Isn’t there an eating disorder forum you bitches can commune at?
whatever | February 4, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Who gives a shit about rational, intelligently gauged opinion! THE BITCH IS DEAD AND I DIDN’T KNOW HER EITHER BUT MY VIEWS ARE NATURALLY BETTER THAN YOUR VIEWS BECAUSE BLAH BLAH MEANINGLESS SUBVERSION OF THE POINT BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Stop being stupid, Scotty. Read, focus. pay attention. Think better. It’s one thing being a retard but it’s another thing entirely being a wholly wilful fucking retard.
Reina | February 4, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I think she suffered from diabulimia too. She looks painfully thin, and we all know Hollywood’s obsession with staying thin at all costs.
Chris | February 4, 2010 at 7:53 pm
I’m not a usual commenter, but I am a regular reader…
I think making fun of Casey Johnson’s death is in bad taste…As a diabetic, I can tell you how easy it is to go out, have a few drinks, and forget about your insulin. Most people have someone there to remind them, but occasionally, you don’t. It is sad and unfortunate what happened to her, and it can happen to any diabetic without a lot going wrong first. This is one of those rare celebrity deaths we should just be respectful of. I could see this happening to me, accidentally. It’s scary, not funny.
MET | February 4, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Seriously? Needles are used to inject insulin. And DKA can result from lack of insulin. This is actually the most plausible death scenario in the recent sad string of untimely & rather suspect young deaths. Of course drugs and alcohol could still be involved… But if you could die from having asinine friends, then Tila would be the cause of death.

The diabulimia idea sounds good to me too. I have the diabeetus, Type II though, but I lived through ketoacidosis and don’t think it would be a very nice way to go. Having been down to skin and bones at that point (I was diagnosed and treated just in time, doing fine now), I know for a fact that going without insulin is a good way to lose weight good and fast, but it’ll fuck your shit up pretty good too. As for missing one dose, that’s not going to hurt you much, let alone kill you. I forget once in a while and it just makes me feel crappy.
Hope this helps, pardner.

Sad to hear that. Poor girl needed someone to look after her? She was an adult who chose to not take her medication. Don’t put the blame on someone else. She did this to herself.
Me | February 5, 2010 at 12:11 am
Diabetic Ketoacidosis doesn’t just happen after one forgotten insulin injection, sure forgetting to give an insulin dose can be harmful, but Diabetic Ketoacidosis happens after months and months of improper insulin management. Meaning Casey Johnson had probably be not taking her insulin at all or very little, at improper times.
Diabulimia(not taking insulin to remain skinny), drugs and alcohol all probably play heavy influences in her death.
cheap r4i | February 5, 2010 at 12:48 am
Sounds to me like she took her own life. That is so sad, here is a woman to has everything, does not have to worry about an income, living on the streets and someone who can afford the best psychistrists around and instead she takes her own life.
