‘That ’70s Show’ actress Lisa Robin Kelly, 43, died in her sleep Wednesday night at the Pax House rehab facility in Altadena, California, according to her manager.
Craig Wyckoff confirmed, “Unfortunately Lisa Robin Kelly passed away last evening. Lisa had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility early this week where she was battling the addiction problems that have plagued her these past few years.”
“I spoke to her on Monday and she was hopeful and confident, looking forward to putting this part of her life behind her. Last night she lost the battle. Cause of death has not been issued yet and no death certificate has been issued either.”
Rumors suggest that she died of a drug overdose but the rehab facility was adamant that there were no drugs or alcohol found in her room. The L.A. Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy and is awaiting toxicology findings.
Lisa was known for her sitcom role as Laurie Forman. She appeared during four season but left in 2003 amid serious addiction issues. The actress later acknowledged in an ABC interview that she suffered from a drinking problem during her time on the sitcom.
Over the past three years her problems have escalated, resulting in a number of arrests for DUI, spousal abuse and assault.
Kelly filed for divorce from her husband Robert Gilliam in July 2013, after less than a year of marriage.
TMZ indicates her new boyfriend blames her estranged husband for Lisa’s relapse. The BF took Lisa to a hospital Sunday, where she registered a dangerously high blood alcohol level of .34. She was admitted to Pax the next day.
