Cathriona White, actor Jim Carrey’s on-again-off-again girlfriend, was reportedly married to another man when she died from an apparent suicide last week.
An official with the L.A. County Medical Examiner’s office said that White, 30, was married to an unidentified man at the time of her death, despite the Irish-born makeup artist’s on-and-off relationship with Carrey, which first started back in 2012.
"She had a husband, we have a husband as next of kin,"
said an official from the Medical Examiner’s office, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "We’re not releasing any more information on next of kin, but we do have her as married."
White was reportedly separated from her husband at the time of her death last week and had been planning on seeking a divorce in December, The Reporter noted. No further information has been disclosed regarding the length of the marriage or when the two separated.
The coroner’s office is holding White's body until her husband comes to claim the remains for
repatriation to Ireland, according to ET Online. White is expected to be buried next to her father, who died from brain cancer in 2012, in a graveyard at her
home village, the Daily Mail reported.
Circumstances surrounding White’s death are still under investigation, although the coroner’s officer has said that her autopsy has been completed, according to ET Online. Her official cause of death will be revealed after the toxicology results have been confirmed.
After news of White’s death became public knowledge last week, her family issued a statement, saying, “The family of Cathriona White sincerely regret the untimely passing of their beloved daughter and sister," according to ET Online. "Cathriona was a shining light in our lives who was loved deeply by her entire family. We will miss her terribly and at this difficult time we ask to be left in private to mourn our loss."
Carrey, 53, also issued a statement: “She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled."
The two reportedly broke up just days before White's death.
