"His mom assisted him in the bed. He became unresponsive." His mother called paramedics to the apartment, which is between Hollywood Hills and Burbank. Its also been reported Haim had Flu-like symptoms for a few days. An autopsy, including toxicology tests, will be conducted Wednesday, It is likely to be weeks before any conclusions are made public."

     When I had heard that Corey Haim had passed away I was saddened a bit for him and his family and friends, as a movie buff I've enjoyed watching Corey Haim in all his films, the first time I caught Corey in a movie was a little late night showing of the movie "Lucas" on HBO which my at-the-time girlfriend had asked me to watch with her, not being an action film... I still enjoyed watching the love flick. I knew even then the kid had great talent, charisma, and flat out charm, later when I caught him in " The Lost Boys" one of my favorite Vampire flicks, I was glad to see he had grown into a much bigger and brighter future in showbiz. Below is information I picked up on his Official Website, its loaded with info about this Teen Idol and his life.

Corey Ian Haim was born on December 23, 1971, to Julia and Bernie Haim, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has one  sister Cari, as a kid he enjoyed making music and playing Hockey and dreamed of becoming a professional hockey player one day, however through a twist of fate, he was bitten by the acting bug while attending an audition with his sister Cari.

   In 1982, Corey scored a gig with a Canadian television series, "The Edison Twins." By 1984, young Corey had made his way to Los Angeles with the American film, FIRST BORN, co-starring Teri Garr and Peter Weller. Just a year later, Corey was slated for four more films! 

    In 1986 when he won hearts - and a rave reviewfrom Roger Ebert - for his role as the lovable title character in LUCAS: "He creates one of the most three-dimensional, complicated, interesting characters of any age in any recent movie. If he can continue to act this well, he will never become a half-forgotten child star, but will continue to grow into an important actor. He is that good" - Ebert.

  Corey's charisma and talent then caught the eye of the acclaimed director, Joel Schumacher, which led to Corey's pivotal role in THE LOST BOYS.

After THE LOST BOYS, Corey also starred in LICENSE TO DRIVE and DREAM A LITTLE DREAM. During this time, Corey also made his production debut as executive producer of the films DEMOLITION HIGH and DEMOLITION UNIVERSITY and associate producer of FAST GETAWAY and LIFE 101.
