Christina Applegate Boyfriend Lee Grivas Found Dead

Lee Grivas (26), who was the boyfriend of Christina Applegate (36), was found dead in his apartment. His body was discovered on July 1 by a neighbor who found him in the living room of his Hollywood apartment. Grivas was pronounced dead at 5:25 PM.

Even though Lee’s death was from an apparent drug overdose, an autopsy will still be done to confirm this conclusion. Such a bummer, and right before the fourth of July.

Lt. Fred Corral of the L.A. Department of Coroner said:

"Grivas did have a history of drug abuse, and our investigator found a syringe at the scene, but we’re not making any preliminary conclusions until a toxicology report is completed."

Applegate released the following statement:

"I am profoundly saddened. Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life. He is missed beyond words. He touched so many and I feel much sadness for his mother, brother, and all of his family and friends."
