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.

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

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.

Re: Sail on Jeff Conoway
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.”pair8head wrote:Not sure where you heard that from, TMZ had reported he attempted suicide by overdose.txaggirl91 wrote:So sad.

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

Re: Sail on Jeff Conoway
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.tigzoe wrote:Was he really injured when he got his head hit by the car?ph4ever wrote:TMZ also reported today Dr Drew said "This was aspiration with overwhelming pneumonia and sepsis."
