I met Corey Haim years ago here in Hollywood before he went off the deep end. Around 6 years ago when I was interning for Fear factor and getting started in the biz. I mentioned I’m from canada and he chatted non-stop for an hour as he was from Toronto. It was the part where he said “I dont have any friends” which gave me goosebumps as I sorta knew I was looking at an eventual suicide.
The article said he died of pneumonia, but I thought I remembered something about accidental prescription overdose, or some such... Anyway, your post prompted me to do a quick check on wiki and they seem to talk out of both sides of their mouths on whether or not the drugs contributed to his death. What I thought was even more interesting was this particular gem from Hollywood:
"Though Haim had been one of the world's most bankable actors before he turned 21 due to his roles in Lucas, The Lost Boys and License to Drive, he was omitted from the "In Memoriam" tribute montage at both the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards and the 83rd Annual Academy Awards in the year following his death. Perceived by the press as a "snub", Haim's omission from the Oscars received widespread media coverage." Link
Used and thrown away.
