It must be difficult to deal with knowing someone committed suicide because of you. Not that it’s anyone’s fault, but it’s still gut-wrenching to contend with.

Jim Carey’s 24 year old ex-girlfriend Cathriona White committed suicide last week, after overdosing on prescription pills.

White left a suicide note saying the break up with Carrey, which occurred on 24 September, led to her decision.

According to TMZ however, Carrey was considering getting back together with White. They’d broken up once before in the past, and he was just planning on taking a little break with this latest break up.

“Jim Carrey didn’t want to completely sever his relationship with Cathriona White, but never got to explain himself to her before she committed suicide” TMZ has learned.

“Sources close to the couple tell TMZ Carrey only intended to take a short break from White. On September 19th, they had dinner at Nobu in Malibu for her birthday, and appeared very happy.”

Unfortunately, White took her life soon after. The site also reports the drugs were bought under an alias that belongs to the actor.
