In Which Chris Farley's Death Is Probably Your Fault

Who Killed Chris Farley? A Murder Mystery for the Ages

In the annals of people dying who couldn't be saved, there is Chris Farley. His appetite for drugs, drink and women was insatiable. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time, and somehow seemed determined to expedite the process.

Here now we share Playboy's excerpt from the new oral history of Chris, The Chris Farley Show. Afterwards you can decide who killed him the most.

"Chasing Cars (hey team remix)" - Snow Patrol (mp3)

"Catch My Disease" - Ben Lee (mp3)

I think Chris Farley and his death are still very present in our minds. Maybe it's a Generation Y thing.

He was an amazing man, but an even better ninja.

I think I could talk and read of Chris for hours. This man battled with things many people do everyday, he was just someone that needed help from those around him, he was too weak to handle it alone. I know they cared for him but they also did nothing because they were all doing the same thing, maybe just at a smaller scale. Chris I love you and love to watch your movies, I laugh as if I have never seen them before. I know you are in heaven with our maker, he knows you battled with the devil inside yourself but truly wanted to be different. You were a Christian man and it is very sweet that you were able to admit you needed help and show your weakness, many ppl do not do that. It shows you have a pure heart, I wish I could have known you. My hearts breaks even over a decade later.
RIP Chris Farley, you were more than a "fatty that falls down to make ppl laugh" YOU WERE A TRUE SOUL. God Bless you.
