Jim Carrey's girlfriend, Cathriona White, has committed suicide, TMZ reports. An Irish native who was just 28 years old, White was reportedly discovered by two friends on Monday night at a residence in L.A., where she had died presumably of a drug overdose.

Carrey, 53, began dating White in 2012, but the relationship only last a few months. Then, in May of this year, US Weekly reported that the couple rekindled their romance—but it appears that they broke up again before White's suicide.

Carey tweeted two photographs in September, giving "photo credit" in the tweets to White.
