Parks and Recreation producer/writer and Phish superfan Harris Wittels tragically passed away earlier this year at the age of 30. The cause of death, revealed yesterday, confirmed suspicions of an accidental heroin overdose (“acute heroin intoxication” is the technical term). Wittels was thoroughly beloved by many in the music community, in his Parks and Rec family and beyond. A memorable tribute from his co-star Aziz Ansari clearly showed what a special and funny person Harris was.
Yesterday, Phish’s Mike Gordon posted a photo to his Instagram account of himself wearing a shirt that read “Harris” inside of the Phish logo. A fitting tribute for a devoted phan. RIP, Harris!
