A source close to Grivas told The National Enquirer: “Lee also had a long history of drug problems, dating back to his teen years.

After the lovers reunited in April, Grivas left Christina in a last-ditch bid to get sober, according to the source. “Christina loved Lee dearly and even dreamed of starting a family with him,” the insider told The National Enquirer. “Unfortunately, Lee’s battle with drugs got the better of him. Christina is still in complete shock. He was just so young!”

What a tragedy. My condolences to Christina and to Lee’s family.
Losing somebody to drugs is awful. And losing the fight against drugs too. I hope they will pull through this alright.

This is tragic of course but it’s pretty much typical Hollywood news.

That’s so sad.

Oh that poor girl…my sincere condolances.
It is just so hard to watch a loved one self-destruct with drugs, to see them unable to escape an addiction and unable to respond to your attempts to help. To actually lose them to the fight though…I haven’t experienced that and hope I never have to. I’m so sorry, that just sucks.

Oh that’s so sad! I’m so sorry for his family and Christina. At least he didn’t suffer and it wasn’t horrific or anything. Something horribly tragic happened to my boyfriend’s friend this weekend (and he SAW it happen) and I just don’t wish that upon anyone. It makes me appreciate the peace someone feels dying this way… not that it’s any different (death is death) but thank goodness he went peacefully. Still tragic, sad, and unneccessary.

Very sad. Please take from this tragedy, that if you know someone who has a drug problem, do anything to get them help. I had an immediate family memeber who was heading down this path and we had an intervention and got them into rehab and now two years later things are so much better. Drugs, be they street or prescription, are insideous and may start innocent enough but this sad story can be the end. I don;t want to preach but be careful….

Some of these stupid women love drug addicts. They want to “cure” them, but of course if they did, they would get bored and leave — thus turning the guy back to drugs.

Would an obvious question be: does she do drugs as well? I just question the wisdom of a thirty-something year old woman getting involved with a twenty-something heroin addict. If he has been battling this since before she met him, why get involved unless she’s doing some shady things as well.

I didn’t used to like her when I heard she was diddling with the “Married with Children” guy, but then I saw her in “The Sweetest Thing” and I really liked her style.
I am sorry she has to go through this….

Why do people risk their lives for drugs? It’s called ADDICTION!
Drugs kill…..
My boss’s son’s friend just od’d a few weeks ago – he was 20.
My husband is a recovering meth addict and we know several people who od’d.
And, yes, people do get off heroin. With the help of God.
