Casey Johnson, an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and Tila Tequila's reported fiancée, was found dead this morning. She was 30.

Los Angeles Police Sgt. Charles Halliburton tells People magazine, "I can confirm there's been a death and the body has been identified as Casey Johnson." Casey's body was discovered in L.A. this morning.

Tila broke the sad news on her Twitter page, writing, "Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family"

A rep from the L.A. Coroner's office confirms to "Extra" that they responded to a call "regarding a deceased female, last name Johnson." An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of her death.

Casey was arrested in Los Angeles this past November 30th on charges of grand theft of various items from the home of a friend. She was released on $20,000 bail and was awaiting trial.

She was the great-great granddaughter of a co-founder of the Johnson & Johnson company, and the daughter of New York Jets owner Robert Wood Johnson and socialite Sale Johnson.

She leaves a daughter, Ava, 4, whom she adopted from Kazakhstan in 2007.

I can already hear the gossip of how she passed. That doesn’t even matter right now. My heart goes out to Casey’s family and friends. God be with all of you. Please don’t let Ava ever forget her MOM.

In the same vein as O.J. Simpson and Tiger Woods, here is another person who had everything and simply threw it all away by stealing, and from her friend, to boot! Another example of why, just like Warren Buffett, I will leave little to my children and allow them to fend for themselves. Casey seemed to live on the edge and it took its toll. Too bad!

I’m really sorry about your lost today and may God be with the family as well as the child because it could have been anyone of us who didn’t wake up today without the touch/beath of GOD…I will pray for your family.

I DO NOT KNOW YOU TILA NOR DID I KNOW YOUR WIFE. BUT I KNOW HOW LOSING THE ONE YOU LOVE CAN AFFECT YOU. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, BUT GOD NEEDED CASEY FOR SOME REASON THAT YOU WILL FIND OUT ONE DAY. THAT MAY NOT BE COMFORTING TO YOU, BUT I HOPE THAT YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER, AND CASEYS FAMILY WILL EMERGE FROM THIS TRAGEDY AND STILL REMAIN UNITED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, SANDY HARP

A sad story… Could Extra have shown a bit more sensitivity by not combining the headlines with Tiger going shirtless?

The Strangers Prayer

I’m just a stranger who reads the Obits each day-and as I read, my prayers are for your child, who just passed away.

I’m just a child, praying for someone’s else child-understanding death is Gods ultimate smile.

And as I read, your child name shines bright-sometimes the age brings light.

The light of why this child left this world-sometimes so young are the boys and girls.

So remember there are strangers everywhere-conscience of your Childs need for prayer.

And as, we as strangers, read our paper everyday-our prayers go out for your child who just passed away. By: Patricia Robinson-12/29/09-7am

A shame that she had to die so young. Why do those with everything misuse the gifts they have been given?
