Corey Haim dead at 38

I grew up with his movies... this sucks.

Too bad he couldn't beat his addiction.

Ditto.

This is a darn shame nonetheless.

It's a shame the way he died, but I have to say he was without a doubt one of the biggest a$$holes I have ever met in my life. Last year at Monster Mania they had to give his dumbass special security because of the way he was acting.

I'm not surprised... maybe the drugs had something to do with it. What did he say to you when you met him?

Dam there going left and right so young, RIP my friend!

We were sitting at the hotel bar when the autograph room let out the first night, he came waltzing in, pushing people out of his way the whole time, and tried to muscle his way in between us (with the other side of the bar clear), then demand our group go sit at a table. I said bite me Lucas, he got pissed and started making an even bigger deal out of it, so him, Feldman and his little entourage got their own private corner out of it. As the weekend progressed though, the lewd comments he was making to the female fans, the pushiness, bad attitude and the way he was treating people in general was more than too much too bear. Especially him literally pushing a teenage girl out of his way who just wanted to say hi to him because autograph time was over.

Strange... especially since he was considered washed up. He should've been kissing the fans ass's. It's too bad some people will remember him from that ego trip you described.

While sad, this isn't something I consider truly tragic. Someone succumbing to a long illness after a lengthy fight? Yes. Recidivistic drug abuse? Not so much. It's hard for some to get over something like that, true, but I'm someone who believes nothing is impossible, and that if you truly desire something, the way will present itself.

But that's just me. I hope Corey Haim is at peace and his family's suffering short.

That bloke was abit before my time but I only found out who he was after I saw Crank 2 where he plays the mulleted dude. Havent seen him in any other films yet but I would be interested to see his films, any recommendations? Still a very sad loss, alot of child actors burn out in adult life and end up on drugs like Maculay Culkin,
Lindsay Lohan (she was never that great acting though but I feel sorry for her too) and Edward Furlong (his acting was brilliant in Terminator 2, Animal factory and American History X)

Corey Haim died from natural causes and a drug test "revealed no significant contributing factors" in his death, the Los Angeles County Coroner announced Tuesday. The coroner attributed the cause of death to three things: damage to the air sacs in his lungs, pneumonia and a hardening of his heart muscle with plaque build-up within the blood vessels. The former teen heartthrob, 38, who collapsed in front of his mother at her L.A. apartment on March 10, had suffered from flu-like symptoms in the days before his death, the coroner said. He had been caring for his mother, Judy, who's battling breast cancer. On the day he died, police mentioned an overdose as a possible cause of death, but the coroner now confirms that drugs weren't a factor. Meanwhile, a California Attorney General investigation revealed last month that Haim had unlawfully obtained 553 pills in the weeks before he died. It was previously announced that an arrest was made of a suspect tied to a criminal prescription drug ring linked to Haim. Haim, who had battled substance abuse issues for years, was laid to rest in his hometown of Toronto on March 16.
