Jim Carrey sued by mother over ex-girlfriend's 'wrongful death'

Ms White, 30, from Cappawhite, Co Tipperary, was found dead at her Los Angeles home in September 2015 after overdosing on prescription drugs. A coroner recorded her death as suicide.

The mother of Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend Cathriona White is suing the actor for wrongful death, less than a month after Ms White's estranged husband filed a similar lawsuit.

Brigid Sweetman said Carrey should be "ashamed" of his treatment of her daughter over claims he illegally provided the Irish make-up artist with prescription drugs involved in her suicide.
