Corey Haim overdose leads to death

Corey Haim died March 10th of an apparent overdose. He was 38 years old and had allegedly been battling drug abuse use for over 15 years. Haim, who starred in movies such as Lost Boys and Lucas “was living in the Oakwood Apartments with his mom, very broke, very destitute,” says longtime friend, Corey Feldman. He had moved in with his mother and helped take care of her when she was diagnosed with cancer. He was also apparently trying again to kick his drug use, according to Feldman.

Feldman was on Larry King Live and was visibly upset regarding the outpuring of grief from the Hollywood community saying, “I appreciate the fact that everybody really cares and — and is trying to show their expression of sorrow right now, but at the end of the day, Larry, where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years of Corey’s life?”

Feldman went on to say, “Where were all these people to lend a hand out, to reach out to him and say, you know, you’re a legend … you’re an amazingly talented, wonderful person who’s really never gone out of his way to hurt anybody other than himself.”

Casey Johnson Death - Diabetic Shock

The suprising death of Johnson & Johnson heir Casey Johnson initiated a media circus, with many speculating about the cause of death of the 30-year-old. Privacy boundaries were broken, dirty secrets were aired, and many assumptions that Casey’s death had to do with illegal drugs were made.

Now, weeks after her death, how she died is finally known. The coroner, who had initially performed an autopsy on Casey on January 5th, had to wait for toxicology results to be able to determine her cause of death.

According to a report released by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, the heir died of diabetic ketoacidosis, a type of diabetic shock. The fact that she was diabetic and had been battling the disease since childhood was well known.

Through all the controversy following her death, one person claims she always knew Casey died of natural causes: her fiancé, Tila Tequila.

RadarOnline.com quotes the reality TV and online star as saying: “I always knew she died of natural causes while others kept insinuating that she died of drug problems and kept airing it dirty secrets from her past.

“I knew the real Casey before she died, and the Casey I knew was absolutely nothing like what the media and ex-friends made her out to be then everyone pointed the finger at me,” she continued. “I loved Casey and will never ever stop loving her. I’m glad she is resting in peace now.”

Casey was found dead at her home on January 4, 2010. It is assumed she may have been dead for days before she was found.
