John Belushi Death Piece from ABC's NightLine March 1982

Uploaded by StooGP on Sep 18, 2009
From March 5th, 1982, this is an excerpt from the original broadcast of ABC News' Nightline with Ted Koppel, reporting on the death of John Belushi, who died in Los Angeles earlier that day. Scenes of police and news cameras at the famed Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, where Belushi was found dead in Bungalow #3 illustrate the events of Belushi's death, from a drug overdose administered by Cathy Smith, who is seen here being handcuffed and put into a police car, only to be released later after questioning. We also see Belushi being carried out in a body bag, sadly the last physical image the public had of him as he is being put into the coroner's van. The most ironic thing is when a LA Law Enforcement Official mentions that Belushi "probably died of natural causes". This sequence is followed by a quick retrospective of his work. This piece is not complete as it abruptly cuts off at the end.

Top 5 favorite movies 1941 animal house neighbors blues brothers and I'm gonna say continental divide even tho i haven't seen it--moviestop never seems to have a copy of it. belushi was the best. and i'm only 30 now. he died right after i was born. and I still never get tired of watching his stuff. my dvd collection is basically a shrine to him even tho his body of work isn't very big.

Is it just me or does Koppel's hair resemble a helmet? He just needs a face mask attached to that to complete the picture. Belushi was a huge talent. Sad to see him go so young. It was determined that an injection of heroin and cocaine is what killed him. I don't know it it's on youtube but his impersonation of Elizabeth Taylor pigging out on chicken is a must see.

I bet John Belushi and Chris Farley are throwing barrels of laughter at audiences up in Heaven. :)
Two comedians, coincidentally at age 33 both died of the same thing, overdose.
Farley idolized Belushi and they both made a name for themselves when they proved big guys can be enormously funny as well.
