This was one of the most tragic stories for us generation xers that grew up watching this very funny, obviously sweet guy pass away in what was a fairly horrible manner.  At the young age of 33, Chris Farley died on December 17, 1997 from a heart attack which was likely induced by him ingesting cocaine and morphine earlier in the day.  The truth is he had been abusing drugs for awhile and someone who was living the lifestyle that he was, was just flirting with death.  The pictures of his death are pretty damn sickening I do say.

Let’s remember him for all of his hilarious snl skits, man living down by the river, and movies that made us all laugh at this huge comic talent.
