Carrey fails to halt case in relation to ex-girlfriend

Actor Jim Carrey is to face trial in connection with the death of his Tipperary born ex-girlfriend.

He has failed in his attempt to get a wrongful death lawsuit over Cathriona White’s suicide thrown out of court.

A judge confirmed a trial would go ahead over claims 55 year old Carrey used his “wealth, influence and celebrity status” to provide the prescription drugs on which Cappawhite native Cathriona overdosed.

The 30 year old make-up artist’s husband Mark Burton and her mother Brigid Sweetman are suing the Dumb And Dumber star in Los Angeles.
