The loss of a human being at such a young age is tragic...regardless of the circumstances, which by the way, unless you were in the room, how do you know how he passed, how can so many people jump to conclusions about his death? Drug addiction is a horrible DISEASE people..not some shortcoming or lack of willpower.

Ms. Applegate has brought so much joy and laughter into so many lives for years...my life for sure. How dare people hardheartedly spew crap...meaningless crap causing more pain for her and for the mourning family of Lee Grivas.

God bless you Lee as he welcomes you into a new life, free of pain and suffering...and to Christina and the Grivas family, I wish you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.

p.s. Love how the people who write slop on this comment page are all 'anonymous'

This is karma at work. In April '05 this "incredible human being" had his cell phone confiscated by the Philly cops for taking cell phone pictures of a guy who had his head blown off at 16th and Pine. I guess he wanted to capture this guys brains in the street for posterity. What a guy!

I feel for the family and friends and just wanted to let them know they are in my prayers no matter what the cause of death turns out to be.
Show respect for others and dont make assumptions on people you do not know.

I knew Lee in elemtary school, my sister and I would ride our bikes to meet him and Caleb fuller on old country roads. I haven't seen or heard from Lee in years, but I am saddened to hear of his early death, but am happy that he accomplished so much in life. He could have stayed, like so many others, in a small town. Rest in peace Lee, you are in my thoughts.

I met Lee in college when he had glasses. Cool Dude. Lucky dude. Sad end.

I just want to give my condolences to all of his friends and family. It is such a tragic situation. I lost someone very close to me about 3 weeks ago from a pill overdose also and it is a very overwelming, and the worst feelings u could ever have. u just feel broken and want to know why. But we have to remind ourselves that god has a plan for everyone and that person is in a much better place. They no longer hurt and are at peace. Just know that he is always with u.

my condulances to the family. I found it disturbing this all young men found dead. brad,heath now him?

heres the thing. Noone said that it was drugs that killed him did they? It said there was no signs of trauma. Learn to read people. I love how everyone just assumes that it was drugs. Believe me when I say even though he was young it could have been a heart attack. My 28 year old brother died brother a heart attack. Dont say it was drugs unless you know it was. Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Sorry for your loss. People on the Internet are often insensitive but take comfort in knowing that not everyone is like that.

I think it is sad that so many people feel it is necessary to judge a dead man. I do not know anyone these days who's lives have not been touched in some way by addiction. Never think you are above that situation in your own family or loved ones. There can and will be a day when that harsh judgement is directed towards your loved one and you will know the hurt of the lack of compassion from someone just like you. Never say, Never. This man, no matter who he is or what he has done, deserves a little more empathy than, "Just another dead druggie". It shames me to see what people have become. My prayers go out to the family of this young man and they even go out to the people who are so quick to condemn another. People need love the most, when they deserve it the least.

Dear 2:02 and the other losers who have nothing good to say about anybody. #1 She wasnt with him when he died #2 they were no longer together, even though they remained close #3 He seemed like a very nice person from what i've read and last but not least: Why can't people have some empathy and show some respect for the dead and their loved ones who have to read or hear this crap. Man, you must be a really miserable low life when you can't keep stupid comments about the dead to yourself, or worse yet, speculate about something you obviously know nothing about. Too bad it's not you 6 feet under! The world really would be better off without people like you. Why would she be using if he was using? Where is the logic to your reasning. I don't know either one of them, but jeez, if I don't have something nice to say,I'd rather stick my tongue where the sun dont shine rather than sound like a complete idiot.

I knew Lee from treatment last summer. He was getting his life together and doing really well. Obviously he slipped. The addiction disease a lot of us battle is more powerful than any "normie" can imagine. Lee will be missed by all who met him. He was a kind man who would give you the shirt off his back. He helped me get thru some tough times this past year. Folks that knew him from treatment are crushed.

We will miss you Lee.

I've also known Lee since college. He was a good man and a good friend. It's a shame he had to go out like this. Damn shame.

a person died... i dont know why ppl have to say the mean things they say... have some respect... we dont know him but still have some respect... its the DECENT and RESPECTFUL thing to do...
