Farley, who had struggled with obesity, alcohol, and drug addiction for years, was found dead in his 60th floor apartment of the John Hancock Center in Chicago on December 18, 1997. An autopsy revealed that Farley had died of an accidental overdose of heroin and cocaine (commonly known as a "speedball") with coronary arteriosclerosis being a contributing factor.By the time of his last SNL appearance, as a guest host on October 25, 1997 [2], he was evidently in trouble — his voice was unbearably hoarse, he looked bloated, sweated profusely, and was grossly overweight. [3][4] A tabloid reported that Farley had been drinking heavily during the week of rehearsals and needed an oxygen tank. Reportedly on the set of Almost Heroes, he required almost constant hands-on caretaking.

Chris was a coke attack=as was much of his generation. We are still in awe about Him. He was sooo talented, like Johnny B if you know who he is. Do you Remember SDL?? At ITS BEST!!. On a real note, Chris has had health problems since he was in grade school. Sucks sometimes to be the decendents of your ancesters. We all have to accept who we are and where we come from. If the world only thought like some of us do there would be less fighting and more lives not lost. i am sorry if I sound bitter, but at this point I have lost too much, tOOOOO.!!!!

I think it had to do with overweight, over drinking and over drugs. He lived life in the fast lane for sure. A very funny man for sure. R.I.P. Chris.

he died of speedball, a cocktail of cocaine and heroine. this is extremely dangerous because one is an upper and another is a downer. the combination is much like energy drinks and alcohol, although much more severe.
