Corey Haim Dead of Accidental Drug Over Dose – Photos and Video

It is a sad day kittens. Corey Haim has died. Los Angeles police have confirmed the death of the 38 year old actor. Corey was a teen star phenomenon who, like most child stars in the 80’s, fizzled out and fell into a drug problem. He has been battling the addiction for years and TMZ caught up with him about 3 weeks ago and Haim claimed he was sober.

He openly spoke about his drug problem and his addiction to Valium to The Sun in 2007:

““I lived in LA in the Eighties, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack. I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day — the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the Valium — I’m not talking about the other pills I went through.”

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman dominated the silver screens and were best friends on and off camera as they worked together on several films (my personal favorite, “License to Drive”) and were dubbed “The Two Coreys.” They went onto to a reality show in 2007 on the A&E Network after years of enduring a dormant career. After a second season of the show aired, Feldman refused to continue on due to Haim’s drug addiction and the network canceled the series.

Sadly, he was found unresponsive in his apartment after a reported accidental drug overdose. After being taken to Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank, he was pronounced dead around 3:30 AM.

UPDATE – It is now being reported that Corey was conscious when paramedics arrived. He was complaining of “flu-like symptoms” before being taken to the hospital. TMZ states that police found 4 prescription bottles nearby and his case has now been passed on the coroner.

“Sources say Haim got out of bed just before 1 AM and collapsed in front of his mother. She called 911 at 12:53 AM and Corey was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM.”
