The lawsuit states that Carrey could have prevented her death on Sept. 24, 2015 since he “had the ability to monitor surveillance cameras on a home White often stayed at.” The suit claims that Carrey learned through his assistant that White had not left the home for over a day and “after learning of this fact, however, neither Carrey nor his assistant alerted authorities.”

But the worst part of the lawsuit accuses Carrey of covering up his involvement in her death with text messages sent after her death.

“In an effort to cover-up his conduct and complicity in her death, Carrey sent a bogus text message on September 27, 2015, to White (who was already deceased) pretending as though he had misplaced the drugs and insinuating White may have taken them from Carrey without his knowledge, when in reality Carrey knew full well that he had voluntarily and illegally provided the fraudulently obtained and prescribed drugs to White days prior,” the lawsuit said. “If Carrey legitimately believed White had taken the drugs from him and she had subsequently gone missing for days with no contact, then why would Carrey not immediately request law enforcement to check on her well-being after she did not return his text?"

On top of that, according to the plaintiff, Jim lied about paying for Cathriona’s funeral, the suit stated only “to publicize his supposed generosity…in an effort to paint Carrey as a ‘grieving good guy.” "In reality, however,” the suit stated, “Carrey never paid a dime of funeral expenses.”
