ALL ABOUT COREY HAIM:
Thursday March 11th, 2010

Here are the details in case you’ve missed anything…

Corey fell ill at his mother's apartment in the San Fernando Valley.  He was rushed to a hospital in nearby Burbank, and pronounced dead at about 2:15 A.M.

 

Authorities believe it was an accidental drug overdose.

 

We appear to be talking about PRESCRIPTION drugs, though.  Ed Winter . . . the L.A. Coroner Assistant Chief . . . says that four prescription bottles were found in Corey's apartment, but they were all, quote, "just normal prescriptions."

 

He added that NO ILLICIT DRUGS were found.

 

Winter said that Corey . . . who was staying with his mother to help her battle breast cancer . . . awoke sometime after midnight feeling dizzy and unsteady on his feet. 

 

He tried to stand up, but fell to his knees.  His mother helped him back into bed, where he became unresponsive.  She called 911 . . . and the rest, you know.

 

Winter says that Haim's body was, "not in bad shape" . . . and that he'd been battling flu-like symptoms for several days.

 

Corey's mom, Judy, said, "He was a good boy.  I'm devastated by his death."

 

THE BIOGRPAHY: 

Before we get into the messy details of COREY HAIM'S life, here's the pleasant stuff . . .

 

Corey broke through in 1985 and 1986 . . . when he played the wheelchair-bound hero in the Stephen King werewolf flick "Silver Bullet" and the title character in the coming-of-age flick "Lucas".

 

(--His co-stars in that movie included Charlie Sheen, Winona Ryder, Jeremy Piven and Courtney Thorne-Smith.)

 

In 1987, the release of "The Lost Boys" brought us THE DAWN OF THE COREYS . . . marking his first team-up with the man who would become his best friend and most frequent co-star, COREY FELDMAN.

The Coreys would go on from the late 1980s through the '90s with such cinematic masterpieces as "License to Drive", "Dream a Little Dream" and its sequel, "Dream a Little Dream 2", "National Lampoon's Last Resort", "Blown Away" and "Busted".

Sadly, the quality of those team-ups dropped dramatically over time, and it's pretty much been downhill since then.

 

The most press Corey's received in recent years was for "The Two Coreys" . . . that A&E reality show he and Feldman did from 2007 to 2008 . . . and for his botched cameo in the "Lost Boys" sequel.

 

Next month, Corey was supposed to begin directing and starring in a movie called "A Detour In Life" . . . about a man who succumbs to alcohol and,  "other self-destructive impulses."

 

(--Here's a trailer for one of Corey's last movies, "American Sunset" . . . which will probably be coming straight-to-DVD in the near future . . .)

THE ADDICTIONS: 

COREY HAIM'S drug problems are pretty legendary. 

 

He started drinking when he was 15 . . . on the set of the 1986 movie "Lucas".  The following year, while shooting "The Lost Boys", he smoked his first joint.

 

He started snorting coke . . . which led to CRACK . . . which led to the first of several stints in rehab.

 

Doctors placed him on prescription drugs . . . but that only seemed to make things worse.

 

Pretty soon, he was downing 85 Valium per day . . . along with other drugs.  In 2001, he suffered a stroke brought on by drugs.

 

In 2007, he re-teamed with his old friend COREY FELDMAN for the A&E reality series "The Two Coreys".  Much of the show centered around the UTTER MESS Haim had made of his life . . . and Feldman's attempts to help him.

 

The show lasted two seasons . . . and ended with Feldman vowing not to speak to Haim again until he got sober.

 

Ironically, sources with the show "Celebrity Rehab" say they approached Corey sometime in the last 10 days of his life, but he turned them down.

 

One staffer says, "[He was] extremely defensive and insulted, saying, 'It's the last show I'd ever do . . . I do not need help.'"

 

(Here's an interview MTV did with Corey back in 2007 . . . in which he talks about how he got clean . . .)

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1633590/20100310/story.jhtml

 

For the record, numerous people have come out and said that Corey seemed to be doing well prior to his death and showed no signs of drug addictions.

 

These include fellow residents of Corey's mother's apartment complex and people he'd worked with on his last few movies.

 

THE STARS TWEET THEIR SORROW: 

It's hard to find a celebrity Twitter page that doesn't have at least one COREY HAIM tribute Tweet on it.  Here are some of them . . .

 

ALYSSA MILANO:  "Just woke up to the sad, sad news that Corey Haim passed away.  RIP sweet boy."

 

RALPH MACCHIO:  "Always so sad and disturbing when the addiction and demons prevail.  RIP Corey Haim."

 

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE:  "My thoughts go out to Corey's family and friends today.  So sad."

 

MELISSA JOAN HART:  "No way!  I just [saw] him last week at a Lupus event!" 

 

SOLEIL MOON FRYE:  "RIP Corey Haim.  Nobody made listening to '80s music back in the day look so good . . . Save a dance for me up there."

 

SCOTT BAIO:  "Young ppl esp. young Actors plz STOP TAKING RX DRUGS.  (actors because they have ppl that look up to them)  Gone 2 soon.  Be at peace Corey Haim.  Prayers going out to Corey Haim's Mother, his close friends & family."

 

KEVIN SMITH:  "Lost Boy goes home:  Corey Haim, dead at 38.  G'bye, LUCAS.  You have given hope to the weird & unlikely."

 

ASHTON KUTCHER:  "Rip Corey Haim 'Childhood hero.'"

 

Unlike all these jokers, "Diff'rent Strokes" stud TODD BRIDGES actually took the time to issue a statement.

 

He said, "Corey Haim was a good friend of mine and he will be missed . . . I will always love my Brother, and I will never judge him.  I understand his pain, but I also know now there is a way out.

 

"I hope anyone who is dealing with the same stuff gets out before it's too late.  Don't let the death of others fool you into thinking that it cannot happen to you.  If you play with fire, you will get burned."

 

(Todd appeared on an episode of the A&E reality show "The Two Coreys" back in 2008, in an attempt to help Corey get sober.)
