Jim Carrey has spoken out after details of his former girlfriend Cathriona White's autopsy report were made public – including excerpts from her suicide note. "When I came to Hollywood to make it as a comedian, I soon learned that the details of my private life would be handed out to the media like free dinner vouchers," the 53-year-old said in a statement.
"I never dreamed that the people I love most in the world would also be on the menu. What a shame."
