Sad and stunning news out of Hollywood tonight:
Harris Wittels, an executive producer on Parks and Recreation, was found dead in his home on Thursday afternoon. He was only 30 years old.
According to law enforcement sources, per TMZ, Wittels was found passed out his couch and then pronounced around 1 p.m. local time.
Authorities seized drug paraphernalia at the scene and there were no signs of trauma to Wittels’ body.
It is therefore believed that the producer, who had been to rehab twice and talked openly about his addiction issues, passed away of a drug overdose.
In addition to working on Parks and Recreation, whose series finale airs on Tuesday night, Wittels produced and wrote for Eastbound and Down and The Sarah Silverman Program.
He’s also credited with creating the term "Humblebrag," even turning it into a coffee table book.
Wittels performed a stand-up routine in Los Angeles on Wednesday and talked of being clean and sober during his set.
