Cathriona White (pictured with Jim Carrey) committed suicide in September of 2015
Jim Carrey has just been hit with a wrongful death lawsuit by the mother of his former girlfriend, Cathriona White, who committed suicide September 28, 2015.
ET Canada reports that Brigid Sweetman filed the suit Tuesday, October 11, at the Los Angeles Superior Court.
White died from an overdose of Ambien, Propranolol and Percocet. The drugs allegedly belonged to Carrey and were obtained with a prescription under the name Arthur King, his alias.
At the time of White's death it was widely reported that she and Carrey had recently broken up.
"I'm just not for this world," White's suicide note to Carrey read, according to E! Online. "I've spent 3 days now in disbelief that you're not here. I can go on brokenhearted and try to put the pieces back. I could, I just don't have the will this time. I'm sorry you felt I wasn't there for you. I tried to give you my best part."

According to TMZ, Sweetman claims in the lawsuit that her daughter killed herself when Carrey dumped her after she confronted him about giving her 3 sexually transmitted diseases.
The suit alleges that White was told by a doctor that she was infected with 2 types of herpes and chlamydia in 2013.
When confronted, Carrey told White that she got the STDs from someone else. He allegedly called the actress a "whore" and threatened her with "fixers" in an attempt to silence her.
White continued to persist. Eventually the "Ace Ventura" actor told her, "You have become too much drama," ending their on/off three-year relationship.
“Jim Carrey should be ashamed of what he did to my daughter," Sweetman said in a statement to ET Canada. "And he should be ashamed for how he has used his Hollywood attorneys to badmouth Cat’s husband Mark with the hope that nobody will hold him responsible for what he did.
As a family, we want the world to know the truth about who Jim Carrey really is – a man that will give your daughter three STDs, lie about it, call her terrible names and demean her, use his high priced lawyers to try and shut her and her family up, and then give her illegal drugs. Every mother and father that has a daughter should read Cat’s handwritten letter to Jim and decide for themselves what kind of guy he really is.”
