Jeff Conaway Dead, At 60! Devastating!
'Taxi' Star Jeff Conaway Dead at 60, Report SaysPublished May 27, 2011 | FoxNews.com advertisement After spending weeks in a coma thought to be brought on by a prescription drug overdose, “Taxi” star Jeff Conaway has died, according to a report from Radar Online. He was 60 years old. Conaway, who is perhaps best known for his role as Kenickie in the iconic film “Grease,” fell into a coma after the reported overdose and was taken to a hospital on May 11. He never woke up. On Thursday, Radar reported that the family of the star, who had a long and public battle with drug addiction, was looking to take him off of life support. Doctors had previously told the family that no brain activity was detected from the star, Radar reported. The decision had to be delayed when his ex-girlfriend, Vikki Lizzi, took the family to court over the decision. Conaway had a restraining order against Lizzi, so she was not permitted to be at the hospital.

Such a very sad end, he just could never escape the addictions, which lead to countless health issues which in the end cost him his life. So terribly sad, one of the stars of the BEST ALL TIME COMEDY SITCOM LINEUP....No show came close to that lineup!

I feel bad for the guy.

U know i think what gets lost alot is our/media or whatever that bashes stars when they fall from the public eye, its no secret that Jeff was riding high when he walked away from TAXI but nothing every came of his attempt to build on his fame from that show, thats when i feel all this started, that and the talk of "has been" and things that is tossed around when we dont see someone 24/7 on tv. Its sad how words like that get tossed around and publicized in mass media publications and their is never any kind of "retractions" of those statements. I think we can all make a list of who the media has done this too, and many who were even still doing things, just not as BIG as before, but again, a life lost, is the saddest part, regardless of the "name" "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I was never a big fan of "Grease" as I was of "Taxi".
Conaway just got caught up and couldn't shake it, my deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I got to first know Jeff on "Taxi" when Nick at Nite used to air it. Had no idea he was on "Grease" until like '97. RIP. | |

I'm surprised he made it to 60. Jeff was beyond help. RIP. "Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion" -- Martha Graham | |

Besides Grease and Taxi, a lot of sci-fi fans remember him from Babylon 5.
But his drug demons were brutal.

First for all, rest in peace to Jeff.
Second of all, I'm not really surprise to hear about his death. His on-again, off-again drug problems were NEVER resolved at all. | |

Sorry to hear that. What prescriptions were he addicted to? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
pretty much all the usual suspects. xanax and oxycontin are what we knew he took the night before, but that's just what his girlfriend saw him physically take. he could have had other crap in his body already, or taken others when she wasn't looking.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Everyone else seem to be reporting he died of larynx (is that the word?), except for Fox News. Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

See, they were legal drugs too. We need to put down the drugs, guys and find another way to cope with life's problems.
Just say no! All you others say Hell Yea!! ![]() | |
