‘That 70s Show’ Star Dead At 43

While Lisa Robin Kelly’s death might not be surprising, it is still sad. The 43-year-old actress who played Eric’s older sister on That 70s Show has lost her battle with addiction.

Lisa’s recent struggles have been well documented. In the past three years, she had been arrested four times for DUI, assault and spousal abuse. There were even reports at one time that claimed she was homeless and living on the street.

Just last May, Lisa was beat by her estranged husband. He ended up being convicted of domestic battery and was sentenced to three years probation. Sources say that fight is what made Lisa spiral down hill again. She started to drink heavily again and ended going to rehab on several different occasions.

And sadly, that is where she ended up dying, in a rehab center. Her new boyfriend made her go to the rehab center on Monday and she passed away due to cardiac arrest Wednesday night. Paramedics tried to save her, but their attempts did not work.

Like I said, it’s not shocking or surprising, but it’s still sad. You can clearly see what addiction can do to someone by comparing her picture from That 70s Show to one of her more recent mug shots…
