He had a promising career after starring as Kenickie in the 1978 motion picture musical Grease but a longtime drug addiction kept Jeff Conaway find his way back to the top. The sixty year old died this morning, weeks after being found unconscious at his house in Los Angeles.
There are varied reports as to the cause of death, including of course a drug overdose according to TMZ. Dr. Drew Pinsky, who tried to help Conaway conquer his demons during season two of the VH-1 reality show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” is claiming the real cause of death is from “aspiration with overwhelming pneumonia and sepsis.”
“There is no evidence showing Jeff died from an overdose,” he said. “Jeff is another example of a pharmaceutical death from the overutilization of prescription drugs. Please continue to pray for friends and family. They appreciate your support.”
I feel really sad for Jeff and for the fact that he ultimately lost his life because of his horrible addictions.
RIP
