MARCH 5--Today marks the 25th anniversary of John Belushi's death.
The comedian died of a drug overdose on March 5, 1982 at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel. The 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Animal House' star had gone on a drug and alcohol bender before being found dead in his bed, according to a Los Angeles coroner's report (a copy of which you'll find here).
Investigators noted that a friend discovered Belushi, 33, 'unresponsive' and lying in a 'tight fetal position.' (9 pages)
