It’s Official: Roseanne Barr’s Character Dies Of A Drug Overdose In ‘The Conners’
The Conners premiered last night, confirming that Roseanne indeed dies of a drug overdose — just like its star said in a recent interview. During the premiere episode, the Conner family addressed Barr’s absence in the opening scene when the family mourns the loss of “Granny Rose.”
“I just got a call from a friend at the coroner’s office,” Jackie tells Dan in the episode. “The autopsy found that it wasn’t a heart attack. Roseanne OD’ed on opiates.”
“That’s not possible,” Dan responded. “We knew she had a problem. She was only on pain pills for two days after surgery, then it was just ibuprofen. It’s got to be wrong.”
Then Jackie answers, “They think that she must’ve taken the pills right before bed, and with her health issues, it was enough to stop her breathing.”
Then, the family discovers a mixture of pills hidden in different places around the house, including the closet and their freezer. Call us crazy… but this drama is even better than the original!
