Jeff Conaway dies

R.I.P.: Kenickie, age 60

"Jeff Conaway had been hospitalised two weeks ago after he was found in a coma in his Los Angeles home. He never regained consciousness. The actor's manager, Phil Brock, said he died early today, surrounded by his sisters, nieces and nephews, shortly after being taken off life support. Conaway had been suffering from pneumonia and sepis and was recovering from a recent surgery to ease back pain. He had also struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. Reports said his weakened state, compounded by the effects of long-term drug abuse, had inhibited his chances of recovery."
