Corey Haim\u2019s longtime friend and co-star, Corey Feldman, wants the public to stop jumping to conclusions about the actor’s death early Wednesday. Feldman — who appeared in eight films with Haim, beginning with 1987’s The Lost Boys<\/em> — insists Haim’s fatal collapse might not be the result of an overdose.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need to stop. They need to stop jumping the gun. They need to stop saying it\u2019s a drug overdose,\u201d <\/em> Feldman said in an interview on Larry King Live<\/em> on Wednesday night. <\/p>\n

\u201cUntil the coroner\u2019s report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows. And nobody is going to know….. This could have been a kidney failure. This could have been a heart failure. This could have been a mixture of drugs, it could have been a cocktail that\u2019s specific or it could also have been the fact that, you know, your body shuts down after years of abuse.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Feldman acknowledges that his friend struggled with drug addiction for “his entire adult life,” but he believes Haim was doing better than ever in recent months; as he was determined to stay clean to support his mother, who is sadly battling cancer. The late actor\u2019s \u201cbest friend and brother\u201d also delivered an emotional appeal for Hollywood to better support its child stars once they\u2019ve grown up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m angry. I\u2019m hurt and sad. I appreciate the fact that everybody really cares and is trying to show their expression of sorrow right now. But at the end of the day Larry, where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years of Corey\u2019s life?….He didn’t even have a car.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
