Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose -- possibly accidental -- according to LAPD. He was 38.

Police tell us they were called to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, CA shortly before 4 AM PT to investigate.

Haim shot to fame in the 80s -- when he co-starred in a number of films, including "The Lost Boys" with Corey Feldman.

Haim reportedly suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was rushed to UCLA Medical Center.

Haim also reportedly was in and out of rehab 15 times, but cleaned up in 2004 after moving to Toronto.

This will sound horrible, but I was just thinking that there were bound to be new jokes about this soon and can't wait. Anyway, I realize that is horrible to have that thought. I guess I don't really morn his passing. I wish his family and friends well but the guy was kind of screwed up from what I can tell and this isn't very surprising.

Anyway, in short: I'm a bad person :)

Sad. I have no idea how Corey and Corey kept themselves gainfully employed since the 80's, but I find it sad that these folks ultimately create a way to kill themselves.

Although I can't imagine the inner-torture, I know it must be difficult to work a normal job after having been a child star. (such as the little black dude that now lives in Payson); these guys must get hammered.

Although I was aware of the fact that my excitement for new dead celebrity jokes was wrong, I didn't feel guilty until reading this article:

In the end although I do think his death is sad for his friends and family, I don't really feel any more personal attachment to him than I do a character in a story.
