This week, the big media release was information about the actor, Corey Haim, dying suddenly in his mother’s home in California. He was found unconscious on Wed., in the very early morning hours. There’s a lot of speculation about him dying of an accidental drug overdose, which would make sense, since he’s battled drug addiction for all of his adult life.

There have been several different media stories covering this information, all with similar details. I did happen to catch in one of the articles though, that Corey entered drug rehab more than 15 times to try and beat his addiction. Can you believe that? That is a lot of drug rehab time, obviously without much of any positive and fruitful outcome. It’s a shame he didn’t do an effective drug rehab program.

I also read in another article covering the news of his passing, that Corey was trying to self medicate for illness, much like Brittany Murphy did which helped to cause her sudden death. This involves taking whatever medications you choose, based on symptoms that you’re experiencing – not because you were seen by a doctor and prescribed a medication for a particular illness. It has been made quite clear that this is extremely dangerous, and in some cases, fatal.

Whether Corey’s cause of death turns out to be accidental overdose, or something else, the rumors about overdose are warranted because Corey has struggled with drug addiction for a very long time. It’s a real shame that he didn’t get positive results from any of his drug rehab stays, and a chance to live his life truly addiction free. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones.
