3. John Belushi — Chateau Marmont, Los Angeles, California

One of the US’s top comedy talents, John Belushi died of an overdose of heroin and cocaine on March 5,1982, at the age of 33 in Bungalow 3 of the Chateau Marmont hotel.
The cause of death was a speedball; the combined injection of cocaine and heroin. On the night of his death, he was reportedly visited separately by friends Robin Williams and Robert De Niro, each of whom left the premises, leaving Belushi in the company of others.

Belushi was one of the original Saturday Night Live members. Animal House and The Blues Brothers (pictured with co-star Dan Aykroyd) were his most famous films.
