If you suffer from addiction and you live in South Carolina please see: Addiction Treatment Centers in South Carolina.

Chris Farley was best known as the loveable and large funny man on Saturday Night Live. However, many were unaware of the addictions that he struggled with and many tabloids focused a great deal of attention on the funnyman's weight instead of the most dire problems he had with addiction.

Sadly, Chris Farley succumbed to his addictions and was found dead in his Chicago apartment on December 18, 1997. An autopsy revealed that Farley had died of an accidental overdose of cocaine and heroin . For those wondering how big of a dose of cocaine or heroin does it take to cause death, the answer is simple, the next dose you take.
