Lisa Robin Kelly Dead At 43

Lisa Robin Kelly, best known for portraying Eric Forman's older sister on "That '70s Show", has passed away.


Kelly, 43, died in her sleep on Wednesday night at a rehab facility in California.

According to Kelly's agent, the troubled star had just voluntarily checked herself in for treatment for an alcohol problem this past week and was determined to clean herself up.

The agent was quoted as saying: "She had been fighting demons for a while and finally lost her battle."




Sources reveal that Lisa had been in and out of treatment centers wishing to quit her alcohol problem and most recently fell off the wagon after a huge dispute with her estranged husband Robert Gilliam.

Sources state that Kelly's estranged husband beat her last May to obtain residual money from her show. He was convicted of domestic battery last month and sentenced to 3 years probation. He also served 35 days behind bars for the beating.

Lisa filed for divorce from Gilliam back in July.





 
Lisa's new boyfriend brought her to rehab again on Monday, but she went into cardiac arrest late on Wednesday night and could not be saved.

The boyfriend accuses her estranged husband of the relapse.

Sources connected with the attempted rescue claim that when emergency responders arrived at the rehabilitation facility, they discovered needle marks on both of Lisa's arms.

However, her best pal reveals that the reason for the needle marks is that he took Lisa to a hospital on Sunday, because she had a .34 blood alcohol level and nurses made numerous attempts to insert a needle into her vein to extract blood.

After several attempts, medical personnel could use a vein on the top of Lisa's wrist.

It has to be noted that Kelly had been troubled for the past couple of years as she was busted at least 4 times in the past 3 years for DUI, spousal abuse and assault.
