Corey Haim's apartment

This is the apartment building where Corey Haim died from pneumonia.

It is located at 3600 Barham Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.

Haim was a Canadian child actor and teen icon who starred in movies such as Lucas (1986), The Lost Boys (1987), License to Drive (1988), and Dream a Little Dream (1989).

During the 1980s, he frequently appeared alongside his close friend and fellow child actor, Corey Feldman. Haim and Feldman became such a recognizable duo that the media nicknamed them "The Two Coreys."

Addiction, sexual abuse, and bankruptcy

Haim began struggling with substance abuse issues as a teenager. He was also allegedly raped by a famous Hollywood personality during the filming of Lucas (1986).

His career suffered in the late 1980s and early 1990s after his drug addiction began to negatively impact his performances. From that point on, he mostly featured in low-budget direct-to-video films.

In 1997, he was forced to declare bankruptcy after he was unable to pay $200,000 in taxes and outstanding debts. At the time, he only had $100 in his bank account.

Although Haim made a number of attempts to return to the movie industry, all of his projects ended in failure. By 2001, he was broke and living in a small apartment with his mother.

The actor got a second chance at fame after he teamed up with his old friend, Corey Feldman, to record a reality TV show called The Two Coreys. The series, which was picked up by A&E, aired between 2007 and 2008.

During the filming of The Two Coreys, Haim attended therapy sessions and continued to struggle with his drug addiction. He also revealed that he had been sexually assaulted by a "Hollywood mogul" when he was 14 years old. However, he refused to name his abuser.

The show ended after Haim walked out of a therapy session and got into a car accident. Following the incident, Feldman decided to publicly cut ties with him.

Death

In the early hours of March 10th, 2010, Haim collapsed in front of his mother at their apartment on Barham Boulevard.

Distraught, she called 911 and reported that her son had stopped breathing:

"He is not breathing. He's 38 years old. I don't know what's going on. He had a fever this morning, and a cold."

Although the actor was rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

Initially, the police believed that the former teen icon had died from an overdose of prescription medicine. However, the coroner later determined that the true cause of death was pneumonia, which had been complicated by an enlarged heart, damaged lungs, and narrowed blood vessels.

A few days before his death, Haim had seen a doctor after he started experiencing flu-like symptoms.

Unfortunately, the doctor in question failed to notice the seriousness of his condition.
