The world was left in shock when the heartthrob of the '80s, Corey Haim (38, actor), was found lifeless in his mother's apartment. The teen idol who once graced the silver screen with his charismatic presence in hits like 'The Lost Boys' and 'License to Drive,' succumbed to a silent killer far from the illegal substances many suspected.

Sad news:

On that fateful day, March 10, 2010, Haim lay unresponsive, a scene tragically far from the Hollywood glitz and glamour. Rushed to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, the star was pronounced dead, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and broken hearts.

Revealing the truth

The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office delved deep, and the autopsy report was nothing short of a bombshell. Pneumonia struck the fatal blow, with an enlarged heart and narrowed vessels playing their sinister parts. But here's the kicker – Haim's system was a cocktail of prescription meds, yet none held the smoking gun.
