Corey Haim’s Friend Confesses Drug Search

After the tragic loss, Corey Haim’s close friend wasn’t surprised by his death and admits that Corey begged him for drugs shortly before his passing on March 10th.

A friend of the Lost Boys star said, “Corey was in a bad way and he was begging me to give him pain medication shortly before his death. But although I’ve read stories about a gang giving him prescription drugs he never spoke about that.I know he was taking a lot of Valium, he was very upset about his mom’s cancer as he was really close to her, and I guess it was his way of dealing with the stress.”

But Corey did attempt to get help. “Corey had recently started working with a new detox guy, and was in a pretty fragile state. Corey would get desperate sometimes though and would just nag his friends for drugs.”

Another close friend of Corey’s since fifteen said he never had trouble getting drugs from many doctors. “Doctors would prescribe him anything he asked for,” told friend Holly Fields. “He didn’t even realize he had a drug problem for the longest time. He did genuinely have back pain and he thought that because the pills he was taking were prescription so he didn’t have a dependency and wasn’t an addict -- it wasn’t like he was injecting heroin, or smoking crack. He would say that one pill would make him feel good, so two would make him feel even better. And it just escalated from there.”
