Sail on Jeff Conaway

Post by ph4ever »

TMZ is reporting that Jeff Conaway, famous for his roles in “Taxi” and “Grease,” passed away today.

Sail on Jeff, loved you in both shows. Watched you fight your demons with Dr Drew. You are now free of your pain and addiction.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

It's sad when someone's demons win. He was talented and had a lot to live for.

Not sure where you heard that from, TMZ had reported he attempted suicide by overdose.

the pneumonia was related to the heavy drug use?

I read the other day that he was already in the hospital in a coma and had been taking painkillers recently prescribed by a doctor. What kind of doctor does that when the patient already has addiction issues? I guess if you pay someone enough you can get them to give you anything.

TMZ also reported today Dr Drew said "This was aspiration with overwhelming pneumonia and sepsis." Dr Drew said that Jeff's condition was inevitable because Jeff was a long time pill popper and "Jeff is another pharmaceutical death from the overutilization of prescription drugs. Please continue to pray for friends and family. They appreciate your support.”

Jeff was injured during the filming of Grease and that's what lead to his addiction and ultimately his death.

It's sad.

Was he really injured when he got his head hit by the car?

Sail on Jeff! Loved him in Taxi as well!

My memory may be failing me, but I could have sworn while he was on Rehab that he said he was dropped during a dance scene. I also read he fell off the car. I also believe it was a back injury.

He was so HOT in Taxi
