Actor Corey Haim has died at the age of 38.
According to The Los Angeles Police Department‘s North Hollywood Division, Haim’s death was due to “an apparent accidental overdose.” He was found at his apartment near Burbank.
Corey was famous for sharing the screen with Corey Feldman in 7 movies, the most famous of which being “The Lost Boys“. Corey started acting when his mother put him into acting lessons “to help him deal with his shyness”. his older sister Carol was an aspiring actress at the time.
About his drug addiction, Corey once said “I was working on The 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”.
