Part 5/8:
Belushi's life, filled with extraordinary highs, was dragged down by a burgeoning addiction. Kathy’s role in his life was significant and ultimately fatal. The two often spent time at the Chateau Marmont, where their paths would intersect in tragic ways.
The Night of Tragedy
As Belushi’s lifestyle spiraled out of control, so did his relationships and health. On March 4, 1982, notable actors Robin Williams and Robert De Niro visited Belushi at the Chateau Marmont. During their visit, they found his room in disarray—suggesting chaos and despair. The presence of Kathy added an ominous undertone. The following morning, Belushi was found dead, having succumbed to a lethal combination of cocaine and heroin injected by Kathy.
