Jim Carrey Ex Was On Religion's 'Intense Detoxification Plan'

JIM Carrey's on-off girlfriend passed on Monday in an apparent suicide.

Cathriona White was found dead by LAPD officers on 8:40pm at her home in Los Angeles after two of her friends went to visit her, where they discovered her body.

And now reports have emerged that the Hollywood actor's ex had reportedly become involved in the Church of Scientology after moving to America.

The beautician was also said to be taking classes at the cult's Hollywood Celebrity Centre at the time of death.

According to reports, the 30-year-old had been struggling while living in LA and missed her family since her move in 2009.

White had been taking acting classes when she moved to America, as well as working on a number of TV shows as a make-up artist.

Following the suspected suicide, Tony Ortega – who writes a regular Scientology blog – has claimed that two of her friends said she had been taking classes at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre.

Ortega alleges that White had been working on her "objectives" while taking the Survival Rundown, which is where members have to undertake a variety of tasks while being quizzed by another member.

He also claims that she was first introduced to the religion by friends of Beck, a singer who is a well-known Scientologist.

Other A-Lister names like Tom Cruise and John Travolta are also practising the religion.

He wrote on his blog: "Her friends tell us Cathriona got involved in Scientology four to five years ago through members of Beck’s circle of friends.

"They encouraged her to move to the US from Ireland and take Scientology courses."

Ortega also says that her friends were "concerned" when she began dating Carrey, who is said to have known she was a scientologist and mocked the religion on a number of occasions.

"Cathriona's friends say that they were concerned about Cat dating Carrey again.

"But they were assured by Scientologists they knew that Cat was emotionally prepared for the challenge of dating Carrey because, they said, 'She had just finished the Purif and was doing her objectives.

"That basically means they think she can handle anything, that's the way Scientologists think."

There were pills next to her body at the time of her death and a suicide note, according to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.
