Conaway -- a notorious substance abuser -- had reportedly fallen into a coma after suffering an overdose earlier this month ... and doctors were not able to revive him.

DR DREW is a piece of ****. I've been in rehab several times before I got my head out. What he portrays as recovery and inpatient rehab is a JOKE.
ANYBODY whos ever been to REAL rehab or detox knows this.
I hope DR DREW is happy - his FAKE HELP from HIS FAKE REHAB sure did conway some good.
oh well.

Unfortunately now the horror starts with that evil ex-g/f who will just ruin any memories of his career. She will play the victim when we all know she contributed to his addiction, we all saw it on rehab.
