“Lost Boy” Corey Haim Dies at Age 38: Actor Struggled With Drugs and Alcohol for Years

“Lost Boys” fans awoke to the news that actor Corey Haim passed away early this morning at age 38.  Police suspect an accidental overdose and are waiting for autopsy results to confirm what killed Corey.

He had flu-like symptoms for the last few days, and was living with his mom, who is struggling with cancer.   He got out of bed, felt very weak and collapsed to his knees.  His mom called 911 and paramedics rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead a  while later.

His fans had been hoping that he had put his demons behind him; in fact, he was looking great the last few weeks, according to news reports.   Sympathies to his mom and his family, his longtime friend Corey Feldman and his family, and all who knew him.

May he rest in peace.
