Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Died March 5: What famous American comedian made millions laugh on "Saturday Night Live" and in the movies like "Blues Brothers", but died in his 30s from a drugs overdose?"
...Chicago-born John Belushi lived a brief but full life. Like John Candy, Belushi was a member of The Second City comedy troupe based in Chicago, his hometown. He was a popular regular on "Saturday Night Live" in the 1970s. His two most famous films were the college-fraternity romp "Animal House" (1978) and "The Blues Brothers" (1980) with Dan Aykroyd. The latter not only revitalized blues music, but also it set a record for the most cars crashed in a single movie! Unfortunately, he used drugs to cope with fame and the pressures of success. On March 5, 1982, Belushi was discovered dead in Hollywood's Chateau Marmont Hotel from a combination of cocaine and heroin known as a speedball. He was 33.
