An autopsy is expected to be performed today on reality TV star Joey Kovar, who was found dead in suburban Chicago on Friday.
The Chicago Tribune reports that police are conducting a death investigation but no foul play is suspected. Kovar, who appeared on Real World: Hollywood and the third season of Celebrity Rehab, was a former personal trainer and body builder who had openly battled drug and alcoholic addictions.
While TMZ reports that before he died, Kovar had taken a "deadly
mixture of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol," his family tells the Tribune that he had been sober for about six months and was working on a new project.
"Everyone is in shock right now. He seemed fine, he was happier and he was doing better," David Kovar tells the Trib. "Everything was going very well. The very, very last thing that our family is suspecting is drugs."
Kovar also says that Joey's life revolved around his two kids - 3-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter.
