Corey Haim Dead At 38

It’s with great regret and sadness that the Retroland community says farewell to one of the original “brat pack” actors from the 1980s, “Lucas” and “The Lost Boys” star Corey Haim.

Haim was found in the early morning of Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in the apartment he shared with his mother. The cause of death is being preliminarily reported by the Los Angeles police department as an accidental overdose. Haim had been suffering flu-like symptoms. As of this writing, the official cause of death is pending an autopsy.

Haim was largely known as a child star who was often paired on-screen with his best friend, the actor Corey Feldman. Recently, Haim and Feldman could be seen on the reality show “The Two Coreys.” Haim was still very active in Hollywood at the time of his death as an actor, director and producer with nine films in pre-production, two completed and ready for release, and one, “The Dead Sea,” still being filmed.
