Former child star Corey Haim was found dead in his home earlier today of an apparent drug overdose. The star was known for his roles in films like “License to Drive.” 38 year old Haim was transported to a local hospital in Burbank, California by paramedics before being pronounced dead. According to officials, it was Haim’s mother who contacted paramedics after watching him collapse for no apparent reason. She has not commented on allegations that Haim’s death was caused by drugs. Investigators did not find any indication of drug use at the site of his collapse.

Corey Haim is not new to the drug culture, having had several stints in rehab for cocaine and prescription drug use. It appears that his career spiraled downwards following his string of successful films in the 80s. The New York Times reports that at one point VH1 was considering offering Haim a spot on the popular show “Celebrity Fit Club,” after weighing in at an astounding 300 pounds.

Haim leaves behind his mother. He was never married, but at one point was engaged to Nicole Eggert of baywatch. Funeral plans for the star have yet to be announced, although you can expect an update when they become available. An autopsy will be performed on the star to verify the exact cause of death. While substance abuse is believed to be the cause of his untimely death, other factors may have been at play.

The couple, which has a nearly 7 age year difference between them, have not announced any potential wedding dates or locations. In a statement released through Duff’s rep Friday, both thank their fans for the kindness and support they have been receiving during this exciting them. We wish them all the best and hope the Hillary Duff engaged story unfolds as pleasantly as possible. In the meantime, you can expect to continue seeing Duff at Comrie’s hockey games, a sport Duff admittedly said she knew little about at first.

We hope that in the coming days we’ll be able to learn who Steve Wozniak is now engaged to. Why he is no longer engaged to Kathy Griffin may be a mystery, although she is known to have a rather loud personality.
