"Parks and Recreation" Exec Producer Harris Wittels Dies from Possible Drug Overdose
Harris Wittels, who was an executive producer for and recurring character on Parks and Recreation, was found dead in his home on Thursday, according to TMZ. The 30-year-old comedian/writer was reportedly found lying on his couch, and was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. There was drug paraphernalia in the house, and authorities reportedly believe Wittels overdosed.
In the past, Wittels had been outspoken about his trouble with drug addiction, and he had previously been to rehab twice.
But he was a multi-talented force in the entertainment world. Aside from producing Parks and Rec, Wittels produced and wrote for Eastbound & Down and The Sarah Silverman Program. He also coined the term "humblebrag," starting the hashtag trend on Twitter and later scoring a book deal about the idea.
