Comedic actor Jim Carrey is a step closer to trial over the death of his former girlfriend Cathriona White. On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Deirdre Hill ruled the wrongful death suit against the 55-year-old actor could go ahead and set a trial date for April 26, 2018. Make-up artist Cathriona White, 30, had an on-again, off-again relationship with Carrey. Carrey is being sued for wrongful death by White's estranged husband, Mark Burton, as well as her mother, Brigid Sweetman. They accuse the actor of providing the prescription drugs, obtained under an alias, responsible for White's death.
