Fans, friends and close family members are reeling from the news of Joey Kovar's untimely death on Friday, possibly caused by a drug overdose. The news of the 29-year-old "Real World: Hollywood" cast member and aspiring actor's passing has left many saddened and in shock.
Kovar, 29, who appeared on "Real World: Hollywood" and "Celebrity Rehab 3", was reportedly found in a friend's home in Chicago on August 17. Kovar, who once worked as a personal trainer, bodybuilder and aspiring actor, has had a long history of drug abuse and his family suspects he died from a drug overdose, according to TMZ.
In 2008, Kovar's time in MTV's "Real World" house was cut short when he entered a 30-day rehab facility halfway through the season for alcohol problems. He later left the show, fearing a relapse. Kovar also appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab," in 2010 with hopes to overcome his addiction issues with alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine and steroid use.
