Actor Jeff Conaway, best known for his roles in the movie “Grease” and the 1970s TV series “Taxi”, died on Friday, reports The Associated Press. He was 60.

Conaway, who had a drug and alcohol addiction problem, was hospitalized in a coma two weeks ago, at the same time suffering from pneumonia and sepsis.

The actor’s manager Phil Brock said his family took him off life support on Thursday and he died on Friday morning, surrounded by his sisters, nieces and nephews.

“We lost someone that we loved on a personal basis,” Brock told Reuters on Friday. “We tried to guide him through his struggles. We know that right now, someone in heaven is getting a hickey from Kenickie.”
