In September of 2015 Jim Carrey lost a loved one to suicide. His girlfriend at the time, Cathriona White, overdosed on painkillers leaving this world at the young age of 30.
Carrey is being sued by White’s parents as they blame him for her death. They believe he gave her the pills that led to her overdose. The judge on the case decided not to toss the case and now Carrey could face a jury in 2018. The trial date for this case is April 26, but is not set in stone. Judge Deirdre Hill has said that she will consider thinking about this ruling and does not consider her recent ruling final for now.
Carrey and his lawyer have tried to have the case tossed, but to no avail. Things are going to be getting very serious in the next year as the trial draws nearer.
