Death certificates—so routine, yet so chilling at the same time.

E! News has obtained the L.A. County Coroner's Office's official paperwork concerning Casey Johnson, who was found dead in her home last week. The Johnson & Johnson heiress was 30.

As tends to be the case, the cause of death has been listed as "deferred" pending final autopsy results. The medical examiner is still waiting for toxicology tests to come back to issue his final report.

A small group of family and friends gathered today to lay the socialite to rest within her family's plot in New Brunswick, N.J.
