Actress Carrie Fisher has failed to escape a legal case over the heroin overdose of a 21-year-old woman, who lived in her guest house two months before her death. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Laura A Matz has denied Fisher’s appeal to be removed from a wrongful death lawsuit, which centres on the 2010 death of Amy Breliant, reports a website.

Fisher is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the popular Star Wars franchise. The judge’s ruling means that Fisher will remain a defendant in the case alongside a physician, Stephen Marmer MD and Warren Boyd, who was overseeing the rehab network that Breliant was under the care of when she died.
“Fisher has failed to meet her burden to establish that she cannot be found responsible, as a matter of law, for the conduct of Boyd, a joint venturer,” read Matz’s order.
In a statement, Fisher said, “I feel great compassion for any parent’s loss of their child in an untimely death. I have a daughter. To lose a child is an unimaginable tragedy and the grief must be devastating. Unfortunately, I am not able to talk about the details of this case because it is ongoing.” The trial of the case is expected to start in May next year.
