Cathriona White, the Tipperary-born girlfriend of Jim Carrey, has been found dead in Los Angeles.
A make-up artist of considerable standing, she worked on Firefly and The Online Gamer. She and Carrey had began dating three years ago, but broke up a year later. They had since got back together, but American gossip websites are quoting friends as saying the couple had parted ways five days ago.
On that day, Cathriona had posted a troubling message to Twitter.

Signing off Twitter, I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest. ✌?️❤️ to yo all
