Christina Applegate, who played the ditzy daughter Kelly Bundy on Married with Children, got some sad news on Tuesday. The actress told US magazine that she was “deeply saddened” to hear that Lee Grivas, 26, had been found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his apartment.

Applegate went on to say: “Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life.” The couple, who first met when Applegate was appearing in Sweet Charity on Broadway, had been seeing each other off and on. Grivas had a history of drug abuse, and an autopsy will be performed.

26 years old…what a waste. Our condolences to Christina and the Grivas family.
