Actor and former teen idol Corey Haim has died at the age of 38, Los Angeles police has confirmed. Haim was found unresponsive inside his mother’s apartment, apparent victim of an accidental overdose. He was later pronounced dead at a Burbank hospital. Haim has been struggling with drug addiction.
Haim was an 80s teen heartthrob kid. Best known for Silver Bullet, Lucas, The Lost Boys, License to Drive, and Watchers, he would frequently do work with actor and friend Corey Feldman. Both actors appeared on the show “The Two Coreys,” which aired from 2007 to 2008 and they also returned for a Lost Boys sequel in 2008 (Lost Boys: The Tribe) We last saw Haim in the immortal Crank: High Voltage.
Regarding drugs, Haim once said:
I was working on Lost Boys when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas. I lived in Los Angeles in the ’80s, 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, rest in peace.
