We should have known by the Boner‘s passing that dark stuff was in store for the fruit of the ’80s. In an unsurprising yet still very sad turn of events, Corey Haim was found dead of an apparent drug overdose early this morning. TMZ scoops it:
Corey Haim collapsed in the bedroom of his mother’s apartment and four prescription bottles were found nearby … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We’ve learned Corey had been sick the last couple of days with flu-like symptoms. The medications recovered, however, were not related to his illness, sources tell TMZ. We’re told no illicit drugs were found in the apartment.
Sources say Haim got out of bed just before 1 AM and collapsed in front of his mother. She called 911 at 12:53 AM and Corey was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM.
Corey’s mom told authorities he had been battling prescription drug addiction for years. Authorities believe — though are not certain — Corey died of an accidental drug overdose.
We are confident that when the autopsy report comes back, we’ll find out that it was actually death by stereo.
Goodnight, sweet prince:

He and Pat Boone should have done a RAP VIDEO!!!
It doesn’t matter if the drugs were prescribed or not; they’re still “illicit” if you’re taking them for bogus reasons or taking 10X more than the prescribed amount.
While people might be saddened by this news, nobody is shocked by it.
