Jeff Conaway Dead at 60

Jeff Conaway -- star of Grease, Taxi, Battlestar Galactica, and more -- died at about 10:30am PST, according to his manager. Conaway was taken off of life support last night. The actor was found unresponsive in his home last week, as we reported earlier.

While media reports initially blamed a drug overdose, Dr. Drew - Conaway's on-again/off-again doctor, and co-star on Celebrity Rehab - informed fans that the Elvira: Mistress of the Dark co-star had actually fallen ill due to complications from pneumonia. Dr. Drew tweeted that Jeff Conaway seemed to be improving, only to later notify followers that his condition had suddenly worsened.
