Former teen star Corey Haim died on Wednesday (March 10th) in Los Angeles at the age of 38. TMZ.com reports that Haim collapsed in front of his mother around 1 a.m., after which paramedics took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead about two hours later. Media outlets are reporting that the cause of death is likely an accidental prescription drug overdose. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that four prescription bottles were found near his body. Haim has reportedly been battling flu-like symptoms in the past few days, but the medications recovered were supposedly unrelated. Corey's mom reportedly told authorities he had been battling prescription drug addiction for years. His agent, however, said he thought it was unlikely an overdose killed Haim. Mark Heaslip told People magazine, "I really don't think it was an overdose. He was doing really well. He did struggle with substance abuse, but I've repped him for a year-and-a-half and part of my agreement with him was that he had to be clean. That was the number one priority."
COREY MAY HAVE BEEN ALIVE WHEN AMBULANCE CAME
A witness at the apartment complex where Haim collapsed told TMZ that paramedics spent 20 minutes inside the apartment before carrying him out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his face, suggesting he may still have been alive at the time.
