Jeff Conaway died of an infection. The Grease star died in May of this year, and there was much speculation because of his known struggles with addiction. Surely the weakening of his system was due to long-term drug damage, but a severe "internal infection" is going down as the official cause.
I'm still sorry he died, but I'm glad he was clean at the end. Much like Mrs. Dubose (from To Kill A Mockingbird), he died in pain but on his own terms, and after having conquered his addiction. He died winning the battle instead of losing it, and that surely has to count for something.
