Kenickie Apparently Didn’t Overdose, Is Going to Be Fine

I was sad to hear about Jeff Conaway‘s latest overdose this past week, and I’m sure many of you were as well. Conaway seems like a good guy with a lot of problems, and it was upsetting to think that he might have gone out that way. But, according to Dr. Drew, this whole thing has just been a big misunderstanding. Here are some of his explanatory Tweets:

Just visited Jeff Conaway. He is stable & looks like he will recover from his pneumonia. Not an OD like press is alleging & certainly not dead.

“Why is his manager giving all the reports that he’s in a Coma?” He’s in an induced coma. He’s actually on a Propafol drip.

“That also means he’s intubated and on a vent.” Right. Pneumonia with sepsis. No evidence of intentional OD.

Leave it to Dr. Drew to save the day, right? But you know what this means? It means that either Dr. Drew is mistaken on this, which I refuse to believe, or it means that Jeff’s own manager was like “oh, he’s sick? Probably an overdose, I’ll call the press.” And that’s the saddest thing of all.
