Corey Haim's Mom Still Struggles with His Death
Originally posted 03/10/2011 04:45PM
It's been one year since Corey Haim died at the age of 38, and for his mother, Judy, it's still a struggle to believe he's gone.
"It's harder for me because, as you know, I lived with Corey … and we've spent so much time together, and we've done so much stuff together, and we went on holidays together," Judy Haim tells Entertainment Tonight Canada in a new interview. "It's, like, mindboggling ... I do pretend sometimes that he's on location somewhere."
But Corey, who died of pneumonia and a heart condition, is still a major presence in her house. "I have his pictures all over the walls," Judy says.

Corey Haim was a prolific and well-known actor in his younger days, starring in a string of 1980s hits including the cult vampire classic The Lost Boys.
So when the actor, who died last March at the age of 38, was left out of the montage of actors who passed way over the last year at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, his mother was outraged.
"When it was over, I shut the TV off and was so hurt, and I was numb and feeling his pain," Judy Haim tells PEOPLE exclusively. "This would have hurt him to the core."

Should Corey Haim Have Been Included in Oscar Tribute?
Originally posted 02/27/2011 11:45PM
Once again, Corey Haim's death went unnoticed by his peers.
In the montage of actors who died over the last year during the Oscars, the Academy did not include the Lost Boys star, who succumbed to pneumonia and a heart condition on March 10, 2010, just days after last year's awards ceremony.
Haim, who was 38, also wasn't mentioned in the Screen Actors Guild montage. SAG Awards officials said the show was running too long and the "In Memoriam" had to be shortened.

Coroner: Drugs Didn't Cause Corey Haim's Death
Originally posted 05/04/2010 04:35PM
Corey Haim died from natural causes and a drug test "revealed no significant contributing factors" in his death, the Los Angeles County Coroner announced Tuesday.
The coroner attributed the cause of death to three things: damage to the air sacs in his lungs, pneumonia and a hardening of his heart muscle with plaque build-up within the blood vessels.
The former teen heartthrob, 38, who collapsed in front of his mother at her L.A. apartment on March 10, had suffered from flu-like symptoms in the days before his death, the coroner said. He had been caring for his mother, Judy, who's battling breast cancer.
On the day he died, police mentioned an overdose as a possible cause of death, but the coroner now confirms that drugs weren't a factor.

Corey Haim Obtained 553 Pills in Weeks Before He Died
Originally posted 04/06/2010 03:20PM
In a month leading up to his March 10 death, Corey Haim illegally obtained a massive amount of prescription drugs by "shopping doctors," using fraudulent prescriptions, an alias and giving several medical excuses, the California attorney general said in a press conference Tuesday.
In a 32-day period ending just five days before he collapsed in his mother's L.A. apartment, Haim possessed at least 149 tablets of Vicodin, 195 tablets of Valium, 15 tablets of Xanax and 194 tablets of Soma, according to Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr., who called Haim the poster child of prescription drug abuse.
Haim, 38, went to seven different doctors and seven different pharmacies to obtain the doses, Brown said. The actor also collected the drugs from emergency rooms and urgent care facilities.
The top state prosecutor's office had been investigating a prescription drug crime ring for the past nine months when a fraudulent prescription for OxyContin – that originated from a stolen doctor's pad – turned up in Haim's name.

Corey Feldman's New Tattoo Translated
Originally posted 03/17/2010 12:15PM
As Corey Haim was being laid to rest in Toronto, his good friend Corey Feldman was paying his own kind of tribute at an L.A.-area tattoo parlor.
On Tuesday, the actor went to T Man Tattoo in Studio City, Calif., and got the number '222' inked on his arm alongside an elaborate illustration depicting a hot air balloon being lifted into the clouds featuring the name of his son, Zen. The basket portion of the hot air balloon tattoo was a peace sign, which Feldman converted from a tattoo of his ex-wife's name. "It was a cover-up," he told Splash News.
"[I've] attached some strings to it," he said. "The basket's got my son's name in it. And then I'm putting his eyes underneath it, so it's kind of like his eyes are lifting up the basket which is going into the clouds."
Feldman explained the number, which he had inked on the left side of the balloon and cloud scene, represented Haim, who also had that number tattooed on his body.
"On the day of his funeral I felt like I should mark hm on my body forever," he said. "Now we're matching."

About 200 close friends and family filled the Steeles College Memorial Chapel in Thornhill, Ontario on Tuesday to remember Corey Haim, who died last week in Burbank, Calif.
"There were no Hollywood types there, just friends and family," a source tells PEOPLE. "It was invite only and very strict about entry. People came without invites and were turned away. The streets for blocks around the chapel were full of police guiding traffic. It was sad. The family is devastated."
Fans stood quietly outside on the chapel lawn during the 45-minute service, which took place in the late morning, the Toronto Star reports.
