Jeff Conaway in coma after apparently overdosing

He's like Keith Richards/Gary Busey's lovechild. Maybe he has Keef's indestructable liver? I wish I had more sympathy for fucked up junkies who throw their lives away like this but I'm sorry, I don't. He chose his path and so he must follow wherever it takes him, even if it's to Happy Acres Cemetary.

This. I almost hope he dies and can finally find some peace. The back injury that he apparently got while filming Grease really sent him on a downward spiral that he's never recovered from and it seems unlikely that he ever will. RIP Kineckie, you've been dead for a good long time.

I hope he's broke and she gets nothing.

Poor Jeff. He has been in physical and mental pain for so many years I think it would be better if he didn't wake up.

First thing I thought!

He's been in pain so long, so I agree it's best for him not to wake up. Poor Jeff.

I hope he finds peace. He's had a miserable last few decades.

gee another success story for Dr Drew eh

I'm also surprised that he has lasted this long. That poor guy has been in a big bad way for years. He looked like death warmed up when he was on Celebrity Rehab in 2008.

Well, according to this, his family is trying to keep that freakshow girlfriend away from him:

No surprises here. Jeff Conaway has overdosed on painkillers again, only this time he’s in a coma, it it’s not looking good. (He seemed to be on a weird cycle of ingesting too many painkillers, causing him to stagger and fall down and hurt himself, so he needed MORE painkillers.) He’s been in the Encino Medical Center for a week since he was found unconscious on the floor of his home. Another dropout from Dr Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab.” His family is trying to keep his former fiancee- and drug buddy- Viikki Lizzi – from visiting him.
