Jeff Conaway Dead at 60
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Obituaries,
Jeff Conaway, 60, died Friday after being taken off of life support. The actor, whose credits include the movie Grease, was in a coma for most of the month.
Older generations remember him as the funny, cocky Bobby Wheeler on Taxi. More recently he appeared on the first and second seasons of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, where he was shockingly incoherent and physically weak. But he’s probably best remembered for being Kenickie, main sidekick to John Travolta’s Danny Zukco in Grease.
Travolta released a statement shortly after Conaway’s death was made official: "Jeff Conaway was a wonderful and decent man, and we will miss him. My heartfelt thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this very difficult time."

UPDATE: Gary Coleman died this afternoon at the Utah hospital.
Two days after taking a fall in his Santaquin, Utah home, Diff’rent Strokes star Gary Coleman is currently listed in critical condition with a brain hemorrhage.
The 42-year-old was transported Wednesday to an area hospital, but was later transferred Utah Valley Regional Medical Center’s ICU. Although Coleman was initially considered lucid and conscious, he is now on a life support and in a coma.
Despite their rocky relationship, Shannon Price, Coleman’s wife since August 2007, has reportedly been by his bedside the entire time.
“We are hanging in there. I don’t want to say anything else,” Dale Price, Gary’s father-in-law, stated. “We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery,” manager John Alcantar added.
Back in February, Gary was transported to the hospital from the set of The Insider. He was participating in a panel discussion on the tabloid show when he had suffered a seizure.
