Another Dr. Drew success story: Joey Kovar from "Celebrity Rehab" dead at 29

[Mrs P]

Holy meth eyes Batman!

[smileznlaughs]

holy crap , another death from celeb rehab! wonders if any of the families will actually sue drew for lack of proper drug and or alcohol treatment and aftercare.

Well, the reality of it is: an addict is an addict. If they choose to go back to using, all the people in the world can't help them. Period.

True. Far be it from me to defend the famewhore that is Dr. Drew, but his success rate is probably on par with other Dr.'s and rehab facilities. All the addicts I've known have died that way. Addicts til the end.

[Kathie_Moffett]

He always had those crazy eyes.

Seriously. Imagine if he'd lived long enough to somehow mate with Princess Beatrice...wow.

Real World Star's Death ODs on Viagra, Cocaine, and Booze

exclusive


"Real World" star Joey Kovar died after taking what could turn out to be a lethal mixture of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Our sources say ... Thursday night, just before midnight, Joey went to a woman's house in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, told her he'd been doing cocaine ... and asked her to drive him to a location where he could score more coke. The woman, Stacey Achterhof, rebuffed his request, and asked him to stay at her place.



We're told Joey, who was also fueled up on alcohol, took "some Viagra" and messed around with Stacey ... but they did not have sex. At some point Stacey fell asleep, and when she awakened early Friday morning she found Joey bleeding from the nose and ears.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... his eyes were also "blackened" -- something that frequently occurs when someone ODs. Law enforcement sources tell us they suspect Joey had an aneurysm.



Stacey was interviewed extensively by cops on Friday. We're told she says she saw Joey take Adderall and Xanax in recent weeks -- and multiple sources close to Joey tell us although they were prescribed, he often took more than called for by doctors.

There's no indication, at this point, Stacey will be charged with a crime.

As for Joey, toxicology results will take weeks, but our law enforcement sources say they believe the results will show a fatal combo of Viagra and cocaine and alcohol.

^That woman looks really old or really methed out. Can't tell which.

[dallison]

I don't watch a lot of The Real World, but I did watch that episode where he broke down and chose to go to rehab. I thought he was making a good choice
and was hoping he'd be successful.

[Novice]

I vaguely remember him, he was a Jersey Shore type. I had no clue who he was since I never watched The Real World past maybe season 3. They really didn't show him much because they had much better drama with Fleiss, Sizemore, McCready, Mackenzie Phillips, Mike Starr et al.

They had Fleiss & Sizemore on the same show? Bet that was sizemic alone given their history.
Did he come back in perhaps season 6? I saw someone who looked similar come back to the house to talk to Dr Drew at one point...


Nice of Stacey to sell her story to the press & allow folks in to take pictures.

[McJag]

I don't think anything could have saved this man,he was not really trying. His life must have been a living hell and at least the torture has stopped for him.

[mistify]

^ He freaked out on bashing that car, in one of the episodes didnt he? ( on the rehab show) He spoke of abuse I think? I remember him and yes he has crazy eyes!

I'm just kinda hung up on what it says above that chick's bed? Pixie dust? Really?! Is that code for crank?

Yeah, I'm more focused on that artwork too. I kinda like it, but as a renter I wouldn't dare.

Yep, both on the same season...but I seem to remember Sizemore came in later, pure coincidence I'm sure and not at all for drama value. Not sure about bug-eyed dead guy, there was a season 6? I'm pretty sure I was done with the show by then.

This is your brain on drugs, Tinkerbell....

Dude had to go and die in a room with that lame ass quote on the wall?

For shame.
