Actor Jeff Conaway, best known for his role in the hit musical "Grease", is in a coma fighting for his life after an apparent drug overdose. Family members said the 60 year old was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after being found unconscious at his home in Encino, California.
He is reported to have become addicted to pain killers after falling down a flight of stairs in January 2010 breaking a hip, arm and fracturing his neck but has a long history of substance abuse.
The troubled actor has battled drink and drug addiction for many years and has featured on a US reality show where Hollywood stars are sent into rehab.

guess Celebrity rehab just wasn’t the cure. He was in denial the whole time there as well. Sad.

I don’t think that’s what the poster is saying.
This dude was a mess. I caught a bit of one episode of Celebrity Rehab and never tuned in again.
To me, it seemed to be exploiting the weak and hurting.
I don’t know how a contract signed by someone with THAT BAD an addiction problem can be legit....
He was Kinickie in Grease as well.
