Corey Haim has died

Malene Arpe, The Toronto Star

Haim TMZ has this: "Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose - possibly accidental - according to LAPD. He was 38. Police tell us they were called to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, CA shortly before 4AM PT to investigate. Haim shot to fame in the 80s - when he co-starred in a number of films, including "The Lost Boys," with Corey Feldman. Haim reportedly suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center. Haim also reportedly was in and out of rehab 15 times, but cleaned up in 2004 after moving to Toronto. UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Corey Haim did indeed OD on drugs, and his mom is the one who discovered him in the apartment and called 911. Although cause of death is premature, so far law enforcement is telling us it was "possibly accidental." We're told LAPD has opened a death investigation."

A year and a half ago, Haim, who was filming in Toronto at the time, told my colleague Bruce DeMara: "Everyone does like a comeback story. ... I don't want any pity, I don't want any sob stories, I just, like, want to work for my money, work for my craft." If you'd like to read the full story, click to download a PDF.
