Whatever Happened To Actor Corey Haim?

Canadian-born actor Corey Haim (December 23, 1971) rocketed to stardom in the late 1980's with starring roles in the movie hits "The Lost Boys" (1987) and "License to Drive" (1988).  Haim was commonly paired up with Corey Feldman in movies that helped both of them achieve heart-throb status with many young girls.

In the early years, when Haim was 11 years old, he started acting in commercials, filmed in Toronto.  He auditioned and landed a full-time role on the Canadian TV series "The Edison Twins". He made his film debut in the movie "Firstborn" (1984). He won rave reviews for his performance of a mysterious high school student in the sleeper hit "Lucas (1986).

In 1993, Haim was charged for pulling a fake handgun out during a dispute with his business manager. The charges were later reduced from felony to misdemeanor. But that was just the beginning of Haim's troubles that would follow.

Haim developed a substance abuse problem that hurt his career and insurer Lloyd's of London filed a lawsuit against Haim for failing to tell them that he had a drug problem since he was 15 years old.

In 1997, he had to file for bankruptcy protection because of the money he owed the IRS and state taxes.

Haim had been starring in made for video movies, but his drug problems seem to be hindering him.

More recently in August 2001, he was found unconscious in his Los Angeles bungalow by his mother, who called an ambulance. Haim slipped into a coma for the night and the doctors confirmed that it was a drug overdose.

There doesn't seem to be an end to Haim's nightmare world of drugs.  Haim hit an all-time low he started auctioning off his body parts on eBay. Desperate for cash, he had been cutting his hair and selling it to his handful of fans.

Ebay stopped his auctions as it goes against there policy of not letting people auction off human body parts.
