Corey Haim was found dead earlier today at his home in Los Angeles of apparent overdose. He was 38. The actor who appeared in such 80's hit films as Lucas, The Lost Boys, and License to Drive was no stranger to drug use or rehab. He suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001.
According to TMZ Haim turned down a spot on the popular Dr. Drew show Celebrity Rehab within the last 10 days.
They say he was "extremely defensive and insulted, saying, 'It's the last show I'd ever do.'"
This afternoon Corey Feldman who co-stared with Haim in the reality show The Two Coreys posted a statement on his blog about the death of Corey Haim saying,
I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face. I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school. This is a tragic loss of a wonderful,beautiful,tormented soul, who will always be my brother,family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived. ~ Corey
