Haim, best known for roles in The Lost Boys and License to Drive , and later for the reality show The Two Coreys (with Corey Feldman, who was far less troubled than Corey Haim), was found in his apartment early this morning: Haim died at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday of an apparent accidental overdose, according to the LAPD’s North Hollywood Division.
