14. I read somewhere that his death was actually due to pneumonia & a severe sepsis infection.
Of course, he had a long term drug problem, but a news outlet said it was the septic infection that killed him.

10. yep
He played Bobby Wheeler, the role was that of a struggling actor who couldnt get a role, he was the
good looking one, he didnt get the most laughs, but he was amazing in it. I love the scene when he was
with Jim helping him with his driving test.

12. Slow-down....slow-down
One of my favorite scenes also.

It's very sad his passing at such a young age, but this Dr.Drew "drama and attention frenzy" I feel was the last thing he or anyone else trying to quit an addiction needs.

13. Conaway's death
Total Film magazine has an online item about his passing, but I cant find anything else in the media about it, only that has
he been taking off life support.

16. No
I am reading he has been taken off of life support and that he is brain dead. The family made the decision today. It's just so incredibly sad.
