"I have a tendency toward the pleasures of the flesh. It’s a battle for me, as far as weight and things like that." Chris Farley

Christopher Crosby Farley was most famous for his stint on Saturday Night Live, and probably the "Chippendale skit" is the finest example of this, although he did appear in films as well. In his personal life, he idolized John Belushi. He once said that he, "dreamed of being John Belushi. That’s why I went the Second City (comedy troupe), Saturday Night Live route. I wanted to follow him." In the end, he went pretty much the same way his idol did, 16 years previously.
His last day was Wednesday December 17th, 1997. He spent it primarily with a hooker called Heidi. Farley was clearly inebriated, and as she was leaving his apartment, he collapsed about 10 feet from the door. Heidi claimed she could hear that he was having difficulty breathing. He said to her, "Don't leave me." Figuring he had finally passed out, she snapped a photograph of him lying there and then left.
Chris Farley’s brother John found him the next afternoon. Chris was still lying 10 feet from the door, wearing sweat pants and an open button down shirt. He was supposedly clutching a baseball cap and rosary beads. There was a blood-tinged fluid coming from his nose, and a white, frothy fluid coming from his mouth. John called 911. Chicago Fire Fighters received the call just after 2pm, and Farley was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 33 years old. So was Belushi.
Chris Farley died of opiate (morphine) and cocaine intoxication. Other things in his system that did not contribute to his death include Prozac, morphine, marijuana and an antihistamine.
