http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Entertainment/corey-haim-dead-apparent-drug-overdose/story?id=10060487 Corey Haim dead at age 38. I don't believe this was totally unexpected. It is such a shame as the attached video seemed like he was making progress.

Such a shame. I have this urge to pull out my VHS copy of The Lost Boys and watch it.

I am just heart sick over this. I was praying he would finally live life to the fullest and over come his demons and live with sobriety. Personaly I don't think it was an accident, he thought of taking himself out several times, but it could be after all. RIP Corey your free now.

Wow, Corey Haim's 38? I loved "The Lost Boys," too; it's one of my favorite movies. Oh, I wish that drug addiction wasn't such a difficult thing to kick. So many people are lost to it, not just celebrities, but so many thousands of everyday people. What is the answer to this problem? We put money towards educating young people about the dangers of drug abuse: is it working? Is drug use on the decline? I honestly don't know.

These days, it seems like Hollywood drug overdoses are always predicated by... XXX was experiencing flu-like symptoms prior to... They said that with Brittany Murphy, Heath Ledger, other celebrities who overdosed and now Corey Haim. I'm not sure where that is coming from. I guess everyone wants it to be an accident rather than planned.

It seems the overdose was of prescription medication, so I guess if someone's actually feeling flu symptoms and are already dependent on prescription drugs, then they take even more and it's just too much for their systems. They might not realise how close to overdosing they are in their daily lives (when they don't feel like they have the flu) and think a couple more won't hurt.

I remember reading about his terrible addiction to drugs many years ago. It's so sad. I thought he was rehabilitated.

I always thought he seemed like a big teddy bear, even if he was in the Fearsome Foursome.

From People: Mom: Autopsy Finds Corey Haim Suffered Pulmonary Congestion By Brian Orloff Thursday March 11, 2010 05:00 PM EST Corey Haim Tony DiMaio/IPHOTO Facebook Twitter Yahoo Buzz E-mail The official autopsy results for Corey Haim have not been released publicly, but his mother says the coroner called her to disclose the actor suffered pulmonary congestion. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Judy Haim says an autopsy also found he had an enlarged heart along with the water in the lungs. What role those factors played, if any, in Haim's death isn't known. L.A. Coroner Chief Craig Harvey confirms that the autopsy was completed at 11 a.m. Thursday, but notes, "There is no final cause of death at this time." "The final cause of death has been deferred pending additional tests that have been ordered," he says. Shortly before his death Wednesday at age 38, Haim complained of flu-like symptoms and had a high fever. His former fiancée, Tiffany Shepis, also tells PEOPLE the actor had long suffered from heart problems. "Every time he would go to a doctor they'd tell him he had really bad arrhythmia, probably due to clogged arteries," she says. "They all said he should have it taken care of. But, being from Canada, his insurance was there, so he never went and got it done." Shepis, who was engaged to Haim briefly between 2008 and 2009, says he also struggled with addiction. "His problem was with prescription drugs – painkillers and Valium," she says. "His addictions are common knowledge. And the longer [you] are addicted to something, the harder it is for you to quit. And that's what he was facing."

I read something somewhere about the four players including Merlin Olson and Rosey Grier and that the one of the four who has had rough financial times.. sorry, don't know the name, but that without saying anything, Merlin has been supporting this man for a few years. So sweet.

He had a very distinct voice. You always knew it was him when he was narrating a program or documentary. I grew up on the Mission Impossible TV Show. Never saw the movie with Tom Cruise, because it could not live up to the TV Show in my opinion. There was a whole genre of TV shows Mission Impossible, Mannix that were wonderful to watch as a child. The good guys always won and with style. Sorry to see Phelps go. This message will self destruct in 60 seconds....

That's such a familiar line, Kookliebird. Peter Graves and Merlin Olsen. The old guard is, slowly but surely, passing on--to be replaced with younger actors that aren't quite as gifted or as beloved. (By my generation, anyway.)
