Former Teen Idol Corey Haim dead at age 38

Corey Haim dies after apparent drug overdose


Actor Corey Haim was found dead of an accidental drug overdose Wednesday morning. The former 'Lost Boys' actor had been struggling with addiction for most of his life.




According to TMZ police were called to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, CA around 4am to investigate. Haim was 38 years old and reportedly in rehab more than 15 times during his battle with addiction.



In 2001 Corey Haim suffered a drug-induced stroke. TMZ caught Corey Haim out and about on February 18, with his long time best friend and fellow actor Corey Feldman. Haim told TMZ that he was "doing well" and looking forward to future acting projects.



Corey Haim died in his apartment, where eerily enough Rick James died in the same complex in 2004. Haim shot to fame in the 1980's staring in such movies as Lost Boys, License To Drive, and Murphy's Romance. He and best friend Corey Feldman also starred together in a reality show titled 'The Two Coreys' which centered around the best friends trying to pick up the pieces of their lives and revive their careers.
