The law enforcement insiders said that antifreeze and Gatorade were found near his bedside.

He listed among his regrets his "inability to conquer [his] alcoholism" and "the things [he] did because of it".
The writer included among his accomplishments "writing the first draft of Wayne's World with Mike Myers".
Bodolai began writing on Saturday Night Live in the early 1980s and later went on to produce The Kids in the Hall.
He also served as executive producer on the series Comics! and worked on After Hours.
