Joey Kovar Death Caused By Overdose On Viagra, Cocaine And Alcohol?

19 August 2012

Joey Kovar death at the age of 29 sent shockwaves through the television industry this week, and details of the circumstances surrounding his death are beginning to emerge. According to TMZ.com, The Real World star died after taking what could turn out to be a lethal mixture of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol.

Sources say that on Thursday night (August 16, 2012), Joey visited a woman's house in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, told her that he'd been doing cocaine and asked her to drive him to a location where he could score more of the drug. The woman, Stacey Achterhof, rejected his requested though asked him to stay at her place. The celebrity gossip website also reports how Joey was fuelled up on alcohol and took Viagra. At some point later in the evening, Stacey fell asleep before awaking early Friday morning to find Joey bleeding from the nose and ears. Law enforcement sources say his eyes were "blackened", something that regularly occurs during an overdose. Stacey was interviewed by police later that day, revealing that Joey had taken Adderall and Xanax in recent weeks, though multiple sources close to Joey say that he took more than doctors had prescribed. A toxicology report will take weeks, though sources say cops believe that the results will find a fatal combo of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol.

Kovar's show 'The Real World' was hailed in its early years for depicting issues such as prejudice, sexuality, AIDS and substance abuse, though it later garnered a reputation for immature and irresponsible behavior.
