The National Enquirer reports Lee Grivas died of a drug overdose:

Samantha Who star Christina Applegate's boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead from an apparent heroin overdose on July 1.

Applegate and Grivas, a 26-year-old skateboarder and photographer, had a rocky on-again, off-again relationship due to his continual battle with drugs and alcohol. But the couple had decided to give it one last shot this past April when Grivas made another attempt at getting clean, according to The National Enquirer.

"Lee also had a long history of drug problems, dating back to his teen years. Christina broke up with him a number of times because of his struggles with getting clean. She loved him, but couldn't stand by and watch him ruin his life," according to the Enquirer.

A Decemeber 2005 People magazine on Lee Grivas:

Christina Applegate may be in the middle of a divorce from actor Johnathan Schaech, but she seems to be learning that there are other fish in the sea.

Her latest catch is Alaskan fisherman and aspiring photographer Lee Grivas, whom she met in the fall through a dancer in her Broadway show Sweet Charity.

"We're very happy with each other," Grivas, 24, tells PEOPLE in its upcoming issue. "I like making her smile and she likes making me smile. It's really innocent and fun."

Schaech, who filed divorce papers Dec. 5, seems to be moving on too: He was partying Dec. 17 at the Las Vegas club Seamless. The couple officially separated six months ago.
