Troubled child star Corey Haim has died at the age of 38. Haim had struggled with substance abuse for years reportedly suffering a drug-induced stroke back in 2001. According to his agent, he had been suffering from a fever and flu-like symptons in the hours leading up to his death.
The Canadian-born Haim first broke into the Film industry back in 1984. He may be best remembered for his roles in "Lucas" (1986) with fellow teen actors Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder, and the 1987 vampire film "The Lost Boys" with fellow actor Corey Feldman.
Haim and Feldman teamed up again back in 2007-2008 for a short-lived reality show "The Two Coreys" which aired on the A&E cable network. The show was cancelled after 19 episodes.
Feldman released a statement on his blog today which read in part "This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference."
