Grease actor Jeff Conaway, who’s been battling a long-time addiction to booze and drugs, is in a deep coma in an Encino, Calif., hospital after overdosing on pain pills a week ago.
A source who asked not to be identify said the overdose was a suicide attempt.
Conaway’s manager, Phil Brock, said the actor was found unconscious on the floor of his Encino home May 11.
“A friend went to look for him because he wasn’t responding to messages,” Brock said. “We hope and pray, but doctors aren’t optimistic. These could be his final moments. He slightly moved his head three days ago but since, there’s been no sign he’ll recover.”
