May 5, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Canadian actor, Corey Haim whose death was considered to be a result of drug overdose is now being reported to have died of natural causes. The actor had a long battle with drug addiction and many previous reports of his death suggested he had prescriptions for large doses of powerful painkillers.
The Los Angeles county coroner’s office said that the 38 year old actor had traces of over-the-counter prescription drugs and marijuana in his system when he died, but added that it wasn’t a factor in his death. The coroner attributed the cause of death to be complications due to pneumonia.
Corey, collapsed in front of his mother at her L.A. apartment on March 10, and had been suffering from flu-like symptoms in the days before his death.
Corey was known as a teen idol in 1980s Hollywood. He acted in a number of films such as Lucas, Murphy’s Romance, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. His best-known role was alongside Corey Feldman in The Lost Boys, which made him a household name.
Haim’s early success led to money and fame, and he began using drugs by fifteen. He had difficulties breaking away from his experience as a teen actor, and was troubled by drug addiction throughout his later career.
