Former ‘SNL’ Writer<\/span> Dies in Suspected Suicide<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"JoeFormer “Saturday Night Live<\/strong>” staff writer Joe Bodolai<\/strong> — who co-wrote the first draft of the movie “Wayne’s World<\/strong>” — has died … and cops believe the death was a suicide.<\/p>\n

TMZ has learned … Bodolai’s body was discovered yesterday by a cleaning crew at an L.A. hotel.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement sources tell us … Bodolai — who also co-wrote several “Wayne’s World<\/strong>” sketches for SNL (below<\/em>) — had been staying at the hotel for more than a week.<\/p>\n

We’re told cops recovered a bottle of antifreeze and Gatorade in the hotel room … and it’s likely his death was due to consumption of the toxic chemical.<\/p>\n

Bodolai had posted what appears to be a suicide note on his blog on December 23 titled, “If This Was Your Last Day Alive What Would You Do?”<\/p>\n

In the note, Bodolai writes about “Stuff I Would Like to Have Seen In My Life” — including the Browns winning the Super Bowl and the “truth” about the JFK murder.<\/p>\n

He also lists “Things I Regret” … which begins with, “My inability to conquer my alcoholism” followed by, “The things I did because of it.”<\/p>\n

Bodolai also lists, “Things I Am Proud Of” — listing family members, his time as an “SNL” staff writer and “writing the first draft of Wayne\u2019s World with Mike Myers.”<\/p>\n

Bodolai concludes, “May you all have the happy lives you deserve. Thank you all for being in my life.”<\/p>\n

He was 63.<\/p>\n
