Corey Haim: Truly a ‘Lost Boy’

coreyhaim 240x300 Corey Haim: Truly a Lost BoyCorey Haim died as GLOSS reported.

But how the teen movie star went from the king of the silver screen to dying so young is a very sad tale that happens far too often with child stars.  Corey Haim’s career peaked with the 1987 movie, The Lost Boys. The actor had a short comeback via reality series The Two Coreys last year.

PEOPLE reports that the 38-year-old former teen star collapsed at his mother’s apartment and then  Haim was later pronounced dead.  According to PEOPLE:

For a long time, he seemed to stumble around, no longer able to clearly articulate a sad, complicated life story of drugs and sexual abuse. He truly was a lost boy.

“Corey had a tremendous saboteur inside of him. And that saboteur he surrendered to,” says Dr. Nicki J. Monte, Haim’s on-screen therapist for the reality show The Two Coreys. “He was living under the spell of his addiction and he was never able to break that spell.”
