Jeff Conaway, most known for his role in the famed series Taxi and his role as “Kenickie” in the film Grease has died to today in an Encino, California Hospital. He was 60.
As we reported last week, Conaway was rushed to the hospital when he was found unconscious from an apparent drug overdose in his home. On Thursday, his family made the decision to take him off life support, as the Doctors had no hope for Jeff’s recovery, stating they were seeing no brain activity. The decision to remove him from life support was delayed for awhile, as his ex-girlfriend Vikki Lizzi took the family to court over the decision. Lizzi was not allowed into the hospital as both her and the actor had restraining orders against one another. However, it was Lizzi who found the actor unconscious in his home.
Unfortunately, the battle with drug addiction got the best of him. He will be missed.
