Jeff Conaway, who starred in "Taxi" and "Grease," has died after 2 weeks in a coma.
The 60-year-old actor was taken off life support Friday morning at Encino Hospital.
Conaway was found unconscious on May 11 and was rushed to Encino Hospital Medical Center.
He had apparently been unconscious for nearly 9 hours before anyone found him, manager Phil Brock said.
Conaway had reportedly suffered from pneumonia and sepsis.
Celebrity addiction expert Dr. Drew Pinsky tweeted Friday that Conway was being kept in a Propofol-induced coma.
After learning of his death, Pinsky posted again.
"I'm saddened to report he has succumbed to his addiction, thus far we have no evidence of an intentional overdose, rather this is the natural history of prescription drug addiction, pneumonia, septic shock, etc," he tweeted.
Rest in Peace.
