Not even three months after fellow former teen star Brittany Murphy died from the pneumonia and an over-the-counter drug overdose, Corey Haim, who rose to fame during the 1980s in such movies as ‘The Lost Boys’ and ‘Lucas,’ died on March 10. The NY Daily News is reporting he most likely died from an apparent accidental drug overdose.

The 38-year-old star was running about a 100 degree fever the day before, and had a doctor make a house call to his mother’s Burbank apartment. The doctor said he would be fine, Haim’s agent, Mark Heaslip, told the newspaper. But Heaslip also said his client complained later that evening that he was having trouble breathing, and his mother, Judy Haim, saw him walking around shortly before he collapsed in the bathroom at about 1 a.m.

Judy called 911, and Haim was transported to a nearby hospital. He was pronounced dead at 2:15 a.m. While an overdose was initially suspected, the official cause is still pending, and won’t be determined until a toxicology exam is performed.

Haim recently was thrust back into fame when he appeared on the 2007 A&E reality show “The Two Coreys,” which focused on his friendship with fellow eighties teen idol Corey Feldman, who he worked with on ‘The Lost Boys.’ The show only lasted for two seasons and was cancelled the next year, as Feldman wanted Haim to seek help for his drug problem.

Speaking of his friend’s death, Feldman wrote on his blog that it is a tragic loss. Feldman referred to Haim as “…my brother, family and best friend.”
