Dex Carvey, the eldest son of “Saturday Night Live” star Dana Carvey, has passed away at the age of 32 from an accidental drug overdose. Carvey confirmed the news on his social media accounts writing, “Last night we suffered a terrible tragedy. Our beloved son, Dex, died of an accidental drug overdose. He was 32 years old.” He continued by saying, “Dex packed a lot into those 32 years. He was extremely talented at so many things–music, art, film making, comedy–and pursued all of them passionately. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Dex loved life. And when you were with him, you loved life too. He made everything fun. But most of all, he loved his family, his friends and his girlfriend, Kaylee. Dex was a beautiful person. His handmade birthday cards are a treasure. We will miss him forever.” Dana and Paula added at the end of the post saying, “To anyone struggling with addiction or who loves someone struggling with addiction, you are in our hearts and prayers.”<\/p>\n
