Jim Carrey has failed in his attempt to get a wrongful death lawsuit over his ex-girlfriend's suicide thrown out of court.

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.

Lawyers for the actor Jim Carrey have criticised new allegations in a wrongful death lawsuit which claim he gave sexually transmitted diseases to his ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White, who later committed suicide.
