Canadian actor and '80s heartthrob Corey Haim died Wednesday morning from a possible drug overdose, TMZ.com is reporting.

The website says the Los Angeles police were called to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, Calif., shortly before 4 a.m. PT.

KTLA-TV says Haim, 38, was found unresponsive in his Oakwood apartment, located between Burbank and the Hollywood Hills. He was at home with his mother at the time.

Lt. Cheryl MacWillie of the coroner's office told the TV station an autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death.

Haim, who was born in Toronto on Dec. 23, 1971, and had returned to the city recently, had previously admitted to drug use. In media interviews in 2007, he admitted to popping up to 85 pills a day.

TMZ.com reports he may have suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was rushed to UCLA Medical Centre. He was also in and out of rehab up to 15 times.


Haim was perhaps best known for his movie roles in The Lost Boys and License to Drive. He also starred with Corey Feldman in a reality TV show called The Two Coreys. It aired for two seasons on A&E from 2007 to 2008.

The Internet Movie Database website (IMDB.com) says Haim was about to start working on five movies including directing The Throwaways and starring with Mischa Barton in The Science of Cool.

His official website, which was updated Jan. 18, is promoting his latest film, American Sunse

I am very sad about this. We are the same age, and I grew up watching him.

Sadly, I knew this day was coming for him. He was so addicted to drugs for soooo long, time just runs out when you live so fast. Corey was a part of our 80's-90's tv culture....it's a damn shame he's gone. I feel terribly sad for his family...

^^I don't false mourn anyone. Maybe the fact that he died in his Mother's house makes me more saddened for her than him.....people can mourn whatever they need to. There's actually a word for the way we mourn for people we have never met.......I wish I could think of it.

Could you please explain to me the main objective of your post here? A thread to mourn the death of someone who gave a lot of us years and years of entertainment, and you come in flaming just because he was famous?

I can almost guarantee that if you DID overdose on drugs, and a member of the forums came on and posted, "sparkjumper OD'd and died today its a sad day." and then they posted a nice little write up about you and what happened...you'd have just as much, if not more, posts mourning your death.

So please go back into your little own world of self-hate, and leave us "false mourners" to carry on wit hour business.

Oh my god, this thread had to turn into another fucking ranting session because someone wants attention?

Somebody died....I wasn't aware it was funny, or entertaining...or a subject to get disgruntled IC members to bring out the nasty behavior and attitude.

Not surprized. That kid had so many problems with booze and drugs. Seems like it was inevitable. Real sad thing.
