Johnson's Friends Baffled by Death of Heiress
Casey Johnson had it all, but her life was not as it appeared.
Jan. 6, 2009— -- Casey Johnson seemed to have it all.
An heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, she was the great-great granddaughter of the founder of the pharmaceutical giant and daughter of billionaire New York Jets owner Robert "Woody" Johnson. She counted among her friends, socialites Paris and Nicky Hilton and actress Lindsay Lohan, and she once dated Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo chief Terry Semel.
Yet, despite her wealth and connections, Johnson was arrested last December on burglary charges for allegedly stealing clothes and jewelry from a former friend. According to the New York Post, Johnson also lived a life of squalor, in a garbage-filled, rented house with no electricity, water or gas that boasted rats in the pool.
She and her girlfriend, D-list reality TV star Tila Tequila recently claimed they were engaged.
