coroners office that Corey "had problems with prescription meds and
that he had been in rehab on and off over the years."
Longtime friend and co-star Corey Feldman released a statement saying
"this is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who
will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take
this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with
while they are still here to make a difference."

news that Corey Haim passed away. RIP sweet boy." Ashton Kutcher also called
