"The family of 'Taxi' star Jeff Conaway has decided to turn off his life support machine, according to a report from Radar Online."

Shame. I knew he was messed up, but I had not heard about this until moments ago.

His ex-girlfriend of many years still has his power of attorney. She's blocking the removal.

Hopefully they can change her mind. Once a patient is brain-dead, all is lost.

I remember her from when I watched "Celebrity Rehab" a few years back.

Conaway -- a notorious substance abuser -- had reportedly fallen into a coma after suffering an overdose earlier this month ... and doctors were not able to revive him.

Jeff's inner struggles became public when he appeared on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" in 2008 and admitted to being addicted to cocaine, alcohol and painkillers.

Conaway -- who played Kenickie during the 1978 film "Grease" -- was 60 years old.
