40. Harris Wittels
We always weep when we hear about drugs having the final laugh with a comedian.
Harris Wittels shocked the industry when he exited the stage for good following a heroin overdose. Writer and executive producer of “Parks and Recreation,” the 30-year-old was the victim of one of the worst years regarding celeb survival – 2015.
Even more depressing is that Wittels confessed relying on prescription pills to relieve anxiety and stay creative. Passing away just days after you signed yourself out of rehab doesn’t sound cheerful.
Working in showbiz is not as simple as they make it look. Behind that thin film of glamour, we find layers upon layers of personal dissatisfaction. The worst part of it all is that the epidemic of celebs dying following a drug overdose shows no signs of slowing down.
