Gone too soon.
Comic sensation Greg Giraldo passes away at age 44, for alleged drug overdose.
Giraldo succumbed on Wednesday due to complications at the New Brunswick hospital, five days after he was confined for having taken a lethal dosage of prescription pills. A source also rules out suicide behind the untimely death.
"Greg passed away today at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental overdose. His family was by his side," discloses a source close to the comedian.
According to New York Post, paramedics exerted all efforts in resuscitating an unconscious Girardo on Saturday following a wild party held in his room at the Hilton East Brunswick in New Jersey.
The same hotel has been Girardo's home since 2005, while occupied with his evening gigs at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick.
Girardo is well renowned as a regular mainstay on Comedy Central's celebrity roasts, not to mention being a judge on 'Last Comic Standing.' He is also a recovering alcoholic.
Prescription drugs. A sure killer if misused and abused, and a tragic Tinseltown history can testify to that.
R.I.P., Greg.
