The boyfriend of Emmy award-winning actress Christina Applegate has been found dead in his Los Angeles home.
Lee Grivas, a 26-year-old photographer who had been dating the Hollywood star for two years, allegedly had drug and alcohol problems but police are not sure whether this is what caused his death.
"Grivas did have a history of drug abuse, and our investigator found a syringe at the scene," Lieutenant Fred Corral of the LA Department of Coroner told People magazine.
"But we're not making any preliminary conclusions until a toxicology report is completed."
Applegate, 36, released a statement saying that she was "profoundly saddened" by the loss of her partner.
"Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life.
"He is missed beyond words. He touched so many and I feel much sadness for his mother, brother and all of his family and friends," Applegate said.
