Hopefully, this is the last, sad addendum to the tragic life and death of Casey Johnson. E! News is reporting that the LA coroner’s office has ruled Casey’s death the result of diabetic ketoacidosis (Check Wikipedia’s entry here) which is basically death by lack of insulin. The cause of death, then, is “natural” and not because of some drug overdose or something like that. Although – if she was using drugs (which I think she most likely was), I’m sure the drug use contributed, but the Coroner’s report doesn’t specify.
Casey Johnson struggled all her life with diabetes, and in the end, the disease claimed her life.
The Los Angeles County coroner just announced that the heiress’s death was caused by diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition caused when a diabetic does not have enough insulin in her system.
Her death was deemed natural, and not due to drugs or even suicide, as some speculated.
Officials say a detailed report on her death will be released within the next two weeks.Johnson, 30, was found dead in her rental home in L.A. on Jan. 4; she was laid to rest in her native New Jersey eight days later.

From what I understand of Casey’s final months, she wasn’t taking care of herself in any way, shape or form. That’s probably the only way Tila Tequila ever got her wh-rey grifter claws in her in the first place. So, now that we have an “official” cause of death, can we let this woman rest in peace? Probably not. Tila wouldn’t let us.
