Actor Jim Carrey will not face trial over the death of his former Irish girlfriend, Cathriona White, as the case has been dismissed by a Californian court. Carrey had been facing a wrongful death lawsuit following the 2015 death of Ms White, who was from Co Tipperary. Ms White’s husband, Mark Burton, and her mother, Brigid Sweetman, had sued Carrey in 2016, claiming he was responsible for Ms White’s death by drug overdose after he allegedly provided the drugs to her. Carrey and Ms White had been dating for three years prior to her death. After Ms White’s death, it was revealed that she had been married to Mr Burton since 2013.
