The coroner has determined that Johnson -- who suffered from diabetes -- died of "diabetic ketaocidosis." While some suspected foul play or a drug overdose when the hard-partying Johnson passed away, the coroner had then stated that the cause of death was "natural."

An heiress to the Johnson and Johnson fortune and allegedly engaged to reality star Tila Tequila, Casey was found dead in her L.A. home last month.

She was laid to rest at her family's estate in New Jersey on Jan. 12. Casey is survived by Ava, her adopted three-year-old daughter; Ava is currently in the care of Sale Johnson, Casey's mother.

The full autopsy report should be available within the next two weeks, the coroner's statement notes.

    RIP- I hope that she's at peace now. It seems that she had a very turbulant life. Just goes to show that money cannot buy happiness. My prayers go out to her family.

    This is actually shocking to hear because almost everyone thought her death was drug related. Sad that so many people doubted her. I hope she is in a better place now. Rest in Peace Casey.

    My thougths anf prayers continue to go out to her family; especially her little girl Ava. I hope she will have wonderful memories of her mom as she grows up. Now that the coroner's report is in, hopefully people will realize that when aperson passes at a young age, it can be from natural causes and not assume everything is drug or alcohol related.
