Corey Haim dead at 38
80’s teen heartthrob Corey Haim was found dead this morning in his mother’s apartment.
Corey reportedly collapsed in his mother’s bedroom before his death. Prescription drugs were found nearby. Haim had been battling a flu recently but the drugs were not flu related. No illicit drugs were found.
Corey Haim was only 38. His battle with drugs was widely known and even documented on the reality show, “‘The Two Coreys.” Corey died in the same apartment complex that singer Rick James was found dead in.
I am very sad to hear Corey is dead. I had a major crush on him in the 80’s, and in recent years found it very sad that he had reverted to drugs on such an insane level. (He actually cleaned his act up for awhile, 5-6 yrs ago.)
I’m sure his best friend of many years, Corey Feldman will be quite shaken up from the news. He is currently going through a bitter divorce with estranged wife, Susie.
It’s always sad reporting about a dead celebrity, there have been far too many in the past year, and amazingly enough, they just keep dying from drug overdoses.
Sadly, we saw Corey’s death coming. He was a mess there for awhile. His inner demons just kept on winning…
Hopefully Corey is at peace now, I don’t think he had been at peace for many, many years. But dammit, 38 is far too young to die. Thoughts go out to his mother who discovered him. I cannot even imagine.
