Parks and Recreation Producer Harris Wittels Dead!!!

BREAKING: It’s just been reported that the Parks and Recreation family has suffered a great loss, the beloved sitcom’s Producer Harris Wittels Dead.

Less than a week before the hit sitcom’s final episode Harris Wittels, a writer and comedian who was also a longtime producer on the NBC series, was found dead Thursday, CelebNMusic247.com has learned.

Wittels, 30, was found at his home after a possible drug overdose. Harris Wittels assistant found him at around 12 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which also noted that, while an overdose is suspected, that will still need to be determined officially by the coroner. The finished toxicology report will take six to eight weeks following an autopsy.

A law enforcement source told NBC News, meanwhile, that drug paraphernalia was found at Wittels’ home and he had recently been in rehab.

Wittels, who was born in Houston and graduated from Emerson College in Boston, was most recently a co-executive producer on Parks and Rec after coming onboard as a producer in 2012. After breaking through as a consultant writer on the MTV Movie Awards, he wrote for Secret Girlfriend and The Sarah Silverman Program, both on Comedy Central, and logged writing and producing time on HBO’s Eastbound & Down.

Sarah Silverman tweeted in response:

“He was my baby. I just keep thinking of superman flying backwards around the earth. I wish I could do that. I’m so mad at you Harris.”

“You should know that Harris was brilliant beyond compare. That his imagination was without limit. That he loved comedy more than anything. That his heart was big and he FELT hard. That he was someone who would reach out to tell you he was thinking of you for no particular reason. That he was honest even if it was gonna piss u off or make him look s—ty. He told the truth. Even when it was ugly. Even when he lied.”

Comedy Central also tweeted out:

“RIP and thank you, Harris Wittels.”

Harris final post on Twitter was yesterday. It’s creepy because it proves that his overdose may have been completely accidental.
