Jeff Conaway From Taxi in Critical After Probable Overdose
Byron Purvis/AdMedia/Sipa PressAnother sad turn of events for a former Celebrity Rehab patient.
Jeff Conaway is in critical condition at an Encino hospital after an apparent overdose, according to the Los Angeles Times, which reports that he is also suffering from pneumonia and remains unconscious.
The former Taxi star, who also played bad-boy Kenickie in Grease, has been plagued by health problems in recent years, including a bad fall a year ago that occurred when he was under the influence of methadone and OxyContin.
There is no word on what he may have OD'd on today.
He left Taxi in 1982 and worked in television throughout the 1980s and '90s, including a starring stint on Babylon 5.
In 2008, Conaway joined Celebrity Rehab, where he opened up about his longtime addictions to cocaine, painkillers and alcohol.
