Sad news. I sure liked him in The Lost Boys and Silver Bullet.

BURBANK, Calif. – The Los Angeles coroner's office says "The Lost Boys" actor Corey Haim is dead at 38.

Coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said Wednesday that Haim died at 2:15 a.m. at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. She said an autopsy will determine the cause of death and there are no other details.

Canadian-born Haim became a teen heartthrob with the 1986 film "Lucas" and 1987's "The Lost Boys."

His first role was in the 1984 hit "Firstborn," in which he played a young child caught up in a family war. He then appeared in the 1985 television movie "A Time to Live."

In recent years, he appeared in the A&E reality TV show "The Two Coreys" with his friend Corey Feldman. It was canceled in 2008 after two seasons.

Man.. This sucks. But I can't say it wasn't bound to happen sooner or later. Fame and fortune really did a number on this guy.

Rest in peace.

Damn, thats rough.  It surprises me and yet, it doesn't.  I know he had some issues in the past but I thought he was getting things under control.
Fishing, like sex, has certain requirements that must be met in order to say you've done it.  If not met, then you're just fumbling with your rod.

That's too damn young to die.

Really is tragic.  Can't imagine what his family's going through.
