Corey Haim passes away.

Corey Haim died early this morning in what police at this point believe to be an accidental overdose. Corey was with his mom and taking over the conter medication for the flu when he woke up at about 1am this morning and collapsed. He was prounced dead at 2:15am. Corey had problems battling drug addiction for many years. Ironically, he was in the same apartment complex where Rick James died. CNN reported:

In 2008, Feldman told People magazine that he would no longer speak to Haim until his former co-star got sober. In a clip from "The Two Coreys," Feldman and his wife, along with two other former teen stars, called on Haim in an effort to get him to admit he needed help, the magazine said.

The meeting followed an incident in which Haim -- scheduled to film a cameo appearance in a direct-to-DVD sequel to "The Lost Boys" -- appeared on the set "clearly under the influence," People reported.

"I don't feel that he's a safe person to have around my wife and child at the moment, for a multitude of reasons," Feldman told People. Haim told the magazine in the August 2008 story that he was currently sober and said, "I will always love Corey Feldman, but I lost 105 percent respect for him and his wife."


Personally I see this one as like the death of Steve Irwin. We all saw it coming a mile away but when it actually happens you're still shocked. R.I.P. Corey.
