Police investigating the death of Casey Johnson plan to talk with her fiancee, Tila Tequila, about her reported claims that the 30-year-old socialite died of a prescription drug overdose.
Detectives have begun interviewing friends and family members of the Johnson & Johnson heiress, and they plan to talk to Tequila about a report saying Tequila feared Johnson may have died of a prescription drug overdose.
“There were no apparent signs of foul play but the detectives will still follow all leads, each and every one, including that one,” said LAPD spokeswoman Sara Faden.
RadarOnline.com reported on Monday that Tequila had said she suspected prescription drugs may be involved with Johnson’s death.
The website also reported today that Johnson lived a wild lifestyle, sometimes staying up for days partying, and finally crashing, sleeping 16 hours at a time. They also alleged that she would order prescription drugs on the Internet and experimented with cocaine.
Johnson allegedly suffered from emotional problems and was in massive financial debt, owing money on her Porshe and living without electricity because she didn’t pay her bills.

She did not know when detectives would speak with the reality television star.
A second law enforcement source confirmed investigators’ plans to interview Tequila, who is believed to have been the last person to see or speak to Johnson before she died.
Johnson was found dead at her Los Angeles home late Monday morning, but police suspect she died days before. The heiress and the reality star had an argument and the last time they spoke was four days before Johnson was found, according to a source close to the family.
Police did not find anything in Johnson’s home to indicate foul play, Faden said. There was no sign of broken glass, which could indicate a break-in, or signs that a weapon had been present in the house or that a physical struggle took place.
