26 year old Lee Grivas was found dead in the living room of his Hollywood apartment on Tuesday, July 1st.

According to the National Enquirer, “Applegate and Grivas, a 26 year old skateboarder and photographer, has a rocky on-again, off-again relationship due to his continual battle with drugs and alcohol.  But the couple had decided to give it one last shot this past April when Grivas made another attempt at getting clean.”

Applegate told Usmagazine,

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 an I feel much sadness for his mother, father, brother, and all of his family and friends.

It is believed that Grivas died from a heroin overdose; however, the cause of death has yet to be determined.  The death is being reported as a possible accident or suicide.

So many families have been affected by drug and alcohol addiction.  It is always sad to see someone so young die from something that was completely preventable.  Our thought are with the Grivas family.
