Christina Applegate’s Boyfriend Died

Christina Applegate's boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead in his apartment last week by a concerned neighbor. It seems that he took too much heroin, which came as a total surprise to me. I guess there is a limit to how much heroin you can actually inject into your body. Interesting.

Grivas -- a fisherman, skateboarder and aspiring photographer -- died July 1.

An official cause of death has not been issued, pending toxicology tests. The death was reported as a possible accident or suicide.

The former Married.. With Children star met Grivas in 2006 while she was performing in the Broadway musical Sweet Charity.

The two began dating as her marriage to actor Johnathon Schaech unraveled, but she ended the relationship because she reportedly felt Grivas was too much of a free spirit.

A source close to Grivas told The National Enquirer: "Lee also had a long history of drug problems, dating back to his teen years. Christina broke up with him a number of times because of his struggles with getting clean. She loved him, but couldn't stand by and watch him ruin his life."

After the lovers reunited in April, Grivas left Christina in a last-ditch bid to get sober, according to the source.

"Christina loved Lee dearly and even dreamed of starting a family with him," the insider told The National Enquirer.

That's a real bummer for Christina, but when you date a junkie the chances are pretty high (pun intended) that they will die from their habit. I'm safe though because I can't die from licorice. Or roast beef sandwiches. I love those things.
