Joey Kovar: 'Real World' actor passes away of 'overdose' at 29

29-year-old actor Joey Kovar has died after taking a suspected overdose.

The actor, who appeared on Celebrity Rehab in 2010 in an attempt to conquer his cocaine and ecstasy addictions, was found dead at a friend's house near Chicago.

The 'Real World' actor was discovered by a female friend, Stacey Achterhof, early Friday morning (August 17), who noticed blood coming out of his ears and nose, according to TMZ.

the friend called the emergency services, but Kovar was pronounced dead at the scene.

TMZ was informed by a source that, on the night before his death, Kovar went to Achterhof's house in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, and told her that he had been taking cocaine.

Kovar then asked her to drive him to a location where he could obtain more of the drug, but Achterhof refused and asked him to stay at her house. Kovar, who was also said to have been drinking, then took "some Viagra", before Achterhof fell asleep. She found Kovar on the floor when she awoke.

Police sources suspect Kovar binged on drugs and had an aneurysm, as he was discovered with "blackened" eyes, a phenomenon that frequently occurs when a person overdoses, claimed TMZ.

Yesterday, Achterhof underwent police questioning and reportedly revealed that she had seen Kovar take prescription medications Adderall and Xanax in recent weeks. Multiple sources close to Kovar have allegedly claimed that the drugs were prescribed, but he often took more than the recommended dosage.

However, the family of the actor are still waiting on toxicology results, which could take weeks to determine. Sources believe the results will show that Kovar ingested a fatal combination of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol.
