There’s a new development in the wrongful death lawsuit surrounding the tragic suicide of Cathriona White in September 2015. It’s a story that’s been making headlines for years, and now it’s headed toward a major legal milestone.
Actor Jim Carrey, known for his over-the-top performances and comedic genius, is set to face trial following the death of his ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White. The 55-year-old comedian has been accused by Cathriona’s mother and ex-husband of supplying the drugs that ultimately led to the 30-year-old Irish makeup artist's death. This is a heavy accusation, and it’s one that has sparked intense debate and speculation across the entertainment world.

Jim Carrey's legal team, led by attorney Raymond Boucher, has filed a motion to dismiss the case. The judge at the LA Superior Court has indicated she'll review the motion, but many legal experts believe it’s unlikely she’ll throw out the case entirely. As things stand, the trial is scheduled to begin on April 26, 2018. This date marks a significant turning point in what has been a long and emotionally charged legal battle.

“Mr. Carrey loved Ms. White dearly, and this entire process will be incredibly painful for him,” Boucher shared with reporters after the hearing. It’s clear that this case is deeply personal for both sides, and the emotional toll cannot be overstated.
Cathriona’s mother, Brigid Sweetman, claims that the actor provided her daughter with the prescription drugs she ultimately overdosed on. Jim’s legal team has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling them as both “malicious” and “predatory.” This back-and-forth has added layers of complexity to an already difficult situation.

Cathriona’s family will also argue that Jim allegedly gave her three sexually transmitted diseases and pressured her to keep it quiet before her untimely death. These claims have only added fuel to the fire, making this case even more contentious.
