Illegal drugs were not the cause of Corey Haim’s death earlier this week. According to The Huffington Post, coroner’s official says authorities have recovered four prescription drug bottles bearing the name of actor Cory Haim but found nothing illegal while investigating his death.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined Friday to identify the drugs. He says an autopsy was done Thursday, but his office is awaiting the results of toxicology tests that could take two months before determining a cause of death. Haim was experiencing flulike symptoms in the days before his death at age 38.
The findings coincide with the information Haim’s friend and costar Corey Feldman told Larry King in an interview. Feldman said that Haim was seeing a specialist and was taking a number of prescription medications. Though Feldman said Haim’s relationship with illegal drugs was “long and detailed,” he did not think they played a part in his death. He said that Feldman was doing the best he ever had, and that he had reformed himself to take care of his sick mother.
Actress Brittany Murphy was also experiencing flulike symptoms before her death in December. An autopsy found that she experienced cardiac arrest from multiple prescription drug intake, and that her death was an accident. According to the FDA, as many as 3 billion prescriptions are written annually.
