They said it wasn't a suicide attempt, could be he died exactly like heathe ledger, if they were prescribed to him. Maybe a Dr. or Pharm. was slippin.

From a previous article : The Envelope

Stand-up comic Greg Giraldo was hospitalized for an accidental overdose of prescription drugs Saturday night, the New York Post reports.
A Comedy Central regular and judge on "Last Comic Standing," Giraldo was found unresponsive during a party in his New Jersey hotel room after performing at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, N.J.
The 44-year-old comic, initially in critical condition according to the Post's source, was breathing on his own by Sunday.
In addition to his four nights at the club, the recovering alcoholic had been booked to appear Saturday afternoon at the New York Recovery Rally, billed as an event to "celebrate recovery from addiction."
-----------------------------------------
A recovering alco would be at risk for this type of stuff. Do we know what kind of drugs he overdosed on?

RIP

You must be an upstanding citizen above any reproach I hope. Otherwise your statement only makes you look like an hypocrite.

RIP GREG, seriously sad to see, why couldn't he just stick with the organics. Fuck PILLS

 

[Numenorean]

Who?

 

[ABitTooSpicy]

Oh wtf... I heard this on the radio and didn't realize who they were talking about. That really sucks! He was hilarious.

Condolences to the family and hope he R.I.P.

 

[SAWYER]

never heard of him

 

[DangerAardvark]

Shit. He was struggling with drug addiction for a long time.

 

[Rage187]

He had 3 small children. If you don't feel bad for him, feel bad for his kids.

 

[geno]

Damn man - he was hilarious and good at what he did. He also never made a run at making it big which I think he could have, he seemed to enjoy the middle ground.

 

[SAWYER]

Now he is trying his luck underground *rimshot*
