'Grease' star Jeff Conaway can't kick drugs, wants a Viking-style fiery funeral at sea
"Celebrity Rehab' star Jeff Conaway can't get off prescription drugs, wants to die at home, and have a Viking-style flaming boat burial at sea.
At least that's what his longtime girlfriend, Vikki Lizzi, says.
"This is just devastating," Lizzi told E!. "I tried to save him from himself by trying to get him help...He wants to die at home. He knows the meds are killing him. He can't get off them."
Earlier this week Jeff suffered a serious fall and received multiple injuries, resulting in his hospitalization.
Along with Dr. Drew, Scientology star John Travolta (also Jeff's "Grease" costar) tried to help him get clean. Travolta sent Conaway flowers this week and Dr. Drew is still talking to him.
We're guessing that fall was due to the prescription meeds.
Jeff, please listen to your friends. Put the Viking funeral on hold. Get sober.

So sad. He was such a sweet talent. Celebrity Rehab needs to be careful about exploiting their subjects. I wish him well.
Yes, i agree the "stars" in Celeb Rehab learn that the only way they're getting attention anymore is by being addicted. Don't give them this platform (i.e. exploit them), because some are more addicted to being famous than drugs. (Please note that i'n not saying this is the case for Jeff Conway. Get well soon, Jeff.)
I don;t understand why they don't do a rapid detox which I just saw a show on tv about Rapid Detox. This takes under and hour and they are semi sidaded but will not remember anything and the are on opiate blockers so no withdraws to come back. Why won't they do this for Jeff. God Bless You Jeff.
