    Jeff Conaway’s Life Support To Be Turned Off

    Jeff Conaway’s family has decided to turn off the actor’s life support machine, RadarOnline.com has learned.

    The family, who has kept a vigil at the Los Angeles hospital where he has remained in a coma after being found unconscious at home, were told by doctors the star’s fight for life is over.

    "Doctors advised the family that Jeff has had no brain function since he was brought into the hospital," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

    "The feeding tube has already been removed. The ventilator which is breathing for Jeff, will be removed sometime this afternoon.”

    Said the pal: “Jeff is in no pain whatsoever."

    It's unknown how Conaway, 60, will cope when the machine is switched off.

    "No measures will be made to try and revive him once the breathing tube is removed," the source said.

    "Jeff has remained unconscious and is unaware of what is going on."

    The former Taxi star was hospitalized on May 11 for what was though to be a prescription drug overdose.

    Dr. Drew Pinsky, who treated Conaway on "Celebrity Rehab," later said the star of Grease, 60, was suffering from pneumonia and sepsis, a severe illness in which the bloodstream is overwhelmed by bacteria, and had slipped into a coma.

    "A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

              Very sad. Hopefully in death he's found the peace that he could never find in life.

                I hope people realise that he's not actually dead yet. I'm hoping that he'll be able to live without the life support and recover. It's sad what has happened to him, but I still hope for the best.

                  I'm hoping for the best too, but it doesn't look likely, particularly if he's had no brain activity since hospitalization.

                          So much for looking like he'll recover... such a shame...

                            as JMS has tweeted, he's not dead yet....although we are only waiting for his body to succumb. Unfortunately, it can take days or weeks for that to happen.

                            Best wishes for his family in this difficult time.

                              Yeah, especially if his ex is putting her oar in... What a tragedy.
