Poor Corey Haim has passed away. The LAPD has launched an investigation since Corey’s body was found in his apartment early this morning, but they suspect a drug overdose. Corey was only 38 years old!
Best known as a child actor in the 80′s, Corey’s drug problem derailed his career long ago. Just when he seemed to be back on track, costarring with Corey Feldman in the 2006 reality series “The Two Coreys,” his continued drug abuse nixed the third season.
The Washington Post cites a 2004 interview with the British tabloid The Sun, in which Corey described the depths to which he had fallen:
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.
No word from his best friend, Corey Feldman, yet.
So in the meantime:
