The Star Wars idol suffered a heart attack before Christmas and was put on a ventilator – but lost her fight on December 27th when she passed away.

“I saw her myself high as a kite once, not that long ago,” the source told Radar Online.

“Some of her friends I talked to doubted she was ever totally clean and sober because she got doctor’s prescriptions to treat her bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

“Ironically, she said to me, ‘You’re too old to get high anymore, dear.’ I  replied, ‘You, too, dear.'”

However, according to TMZ.com, the details of an autopsy or if even an autopsy has taken place has not yet been revealed as the family cope with dealing with two deaths in the family as screen legend and Carrie’s mother Debbie Reynolds passed away just a day after her daughter.

In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Carrie revealed that she used to think she was a drug addict, then later discovered she was bi-polar.

“I used to think I was a drug addict, pure and simple — just someone who could not stop taking drugs willfully,” she said.

“And I was that. But it turns out that I am severely manic depressive.”

In her early twenties and during her Star Wars fame, the American went on a four-year drug binge and was then told by doctor’s she has a mental illness.

“I thought they told me I was manic depressive to make me feel better about being a drug addict.

“It’s what you think. ‘If you could just control yourself, you had an indulged childhood, you were a child of privilege.’

“I don’t know, that’s what I thought. You’re just a drug addict,” she added.
