There have always been strange happenings over in Hollywood, so here’s another to add to that ever lengthening list.

A man called Mark Burton is front and centre in this one, he being the estranged husband of Carrey’s late ex-girlfriend Cathriona White.

Her name came to be splashed across news sites following her suicide last September, where she left behind a heartbreaking letter (HERE).

Now Burton has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, with this below from the Daily Beast:

The suit alleges that the Dumb & Dumber star used “his immense wealth and celebrity status” to obtain the prescription painkillers that White used to commit suicide by overdose last September and then tried to cover up “his complicity in her death” by sending a “bogus text message” to his already-deceased ex-girlfriend “pretending as though he had misplaced the drugs.”

Burton further accuses the Hollywood actor of backing out on a promise to pay for White’s funeral expenses after collecting positive media coverage of himself as a “grieving, good guy.”
