Kenickie in a Coma After Attempted Suicide

The 60-year-old actor who played T-Bird Kenickie in Grease is in a coma after overdosing on pain pills last week. Radar Online says:
Jeff Conway was found unconscious on the floor of his Encino home May 11.
A source who asked not to be identify said the overdose was a suicide attempt.
Doctors aren’t optimistic. He slightly moved his head three days ago but since, there’s been no sign he’ll recover.
Conway is still recovering from the serious injuries he suffered last year in a near-fatal fall that caused a brain hemorrhage, and neck and hip fractures.
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there’s a chance that Celebrity Rehab might not be zenith of successful rehabilitation after all. Statistics indicate you have a better chance at getting clean at Charlie Sheen’s Sober Valley Lodge during Mardi Gras.

Sad. He claims he hurt his back some years ago and needed the pain killers but I think the real reason, like with many of these people, is that their career never takes off like they think it will.

Why does he look like a midget? If he were a midget, I bet he’d have gotten more parts.
