The former girlfriend of actor Jim Carrey was married to another man at the time of her death, according to Los Angeles County medical examiner officials.
Cathriona White’s body is set to be released to her next of kin, which is listed as her current husband, the Los Angeles Coroner's office confirmed to E! News. The man’s identity has yet to be revealed.
White, 30, was found dead in a Los Angeles apartment last Monday at around 8:40 p.m., assistant chief coroner Ed Winter confirmed to NBC Owned Television Stations.
Her death was reported to authorities as a suicide, Winter said. A drug overdose was suspected because several pills were found near her body, Winter told Reuters.
Carrey and White dated on and off. According to TMZ, White and Carrey, 53, met in 2012 and dated briefly but rekindled their romance in May before splitting up again a week before her death.
"I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona," Carrey said in a statement provided by his publicist. "She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled. My heart goes out to her family and friends and to everyone who loved and cared about her. We have all been hit with a lightning bolt."
