“80s Teen Idol Corey Haim Dead at 38”

Time to fire up Lucas, The Lost Boys, and License to Drive — if only for closure:

Actor and former teen idol Corey Haim has died at the age of 38, the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed to KTLA.

Haim died at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday of an apparent accidental overdose, according to the LAPD’s North Hollywood Division.

Coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said an autopsy would determine an official cause of death.

Haim was found unresponsive inside an Oakwood apartment, between Burbank and the Hollywood Hills, police said.

He was at home with his mother at the time.

The Canadian-born actor, who has struggled with drug addiction, was pronounced dead Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank, police said.

Rest in piece, Corey.

And just so you know, yes, I forgive you for Prayer of the Rollerboys and Dream a Little Dream. At long last.

    RIP. I’ll have to watch Blown Away in his honor. Though really more for Nicole Eggert naked.

    The other one is going to have a very hard time with this I think.

  3. Lt. York says:

    But how is this going to affect Corey Feldman? Inquiring minds want to know…

  4. happyfeet says:

    oh.

    Corey Feldman calls up Canadian singer Corey Hart, asks if he wants to hang out.

    hmmm. 554 is supposed to be ascottwhite. I don’t know why it copied like that.

    oh. Nevermind. Twitter is weird.

    ascottwhite is the guy what said that the cool thing about an emo birthday cake is that it cuts itself.

    Blue masquerade, strangers look on
    When will they learn this loneliness?
    Temptation heat beats like a drum
    Deep in your veins, I will not lie

    You were the first one I thought of when I heard the news this morning on KOA, Jeff.

    If Corey had just spent more time with Leif, we may not be having this thread right now…

    God yes.

    Nicole Eggert is on Celebrity Boot Camp. Lost Boys is a classic.

  12. The Lost Dog says:

    Bummer! Just think about how many good drugs and hot wymyn he is going to miss. Not to mentiojn that at 38, he had a very large resevoir of “big O’s (No, not the asshole “O”)left on his script card.

    Gotta use your head, Corey.

    OOPS! Too late…

  13. Alec Leamas says:

    I remember Silver Bullet. Gary Busey and Corey Haim, pallin’ around.

    Who would have thought that a few decades later, Gary Busey would be alive, and Corey Haim dead?

  14. serr8d says:

    Damn. Wasn’t even heroin, either.

    Modern drugs only kill pussies.

  15. Pablo says:

    Lost Boys always makes me think of this. Godspeed, dude. Thanks for the yuks.
