JIM CARREY'S GIRLFRIEND FOUND DEAD IN SUSPECTED SUICIDE - WHAT THOSE THAT KNEW HER HAD TO SAY

The 28-year-old's make-up artist was found by police at her Los Angeles residence on Monday, where she allegedly left a suicide note addressed to the actor. She was pronounced dead at the scene. She and Carrey, 53, had been dating on and off since 2012, but reportedly ended their relationship as recently as last Thursday.

Police tell TMZ that pills were found next to White's body, and they believe her death was caused by an overdose.

On what is believed to be her personal Twitter account, her last tweet was Sept. 24.

“Signing off Twitter,” she wrote. “I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest. ✌🏼️❤️ to yo all.”

Jim Carrey has released a statement confirming White's death: "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona. 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."

The traumatised mother of Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend Cathriona White also spoke of her devastation after her daughter was found dead in an e-mail to a family friend, 'My Cathriona is dead. My Cathriona is dead,' she wrote. 'Can you believe it? What am I going to do? What am I going to do?' Cathriona's death is an apparent blow to all those who loved her.

A neighbor, who did not want to be named, said she had seemed paranoid and depressed in recent days. He told The Sun: 'She wasn't smiling. She seemed paranoid — she'd also installed security cameras all over the property in the last couple of months.'

Another neighbour said: 'There were fire trucks and police cars up here between 9pm and 11.30pm.

'She was very private and had only lived in the house a few months. I'd heard Carrey was her boyfriend, but never saw him here.'

Local Fine Gael councillor Mary Hanna, who is a friend of the White family, paid a glowing tribute to Cathriona.

'Cathriona was a stunning looking girl, very quiet, very reserved, and very gentle, as are all the Whote family. She was very bright girl going to school,' Ms Hanna said.

'Everybody would remember her. Obviously we are in shock that she is not with us any longer.

'The people in Cappawhite are deeply shocked. It's hard to believe that poor child is gone, whatever happened. The facts remain that a mother is without her daughter this evening.

'Her sister Lisa and her brother James are without a sister, her grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins are all without Cathriona. It's so heartbreaking.'

While Cathriona's death is believed to be a suicide, an official ruling has not yet been made.
