Police reportedly found Vicodin, Valium, muscle relaxers and antipsychotic medicines near body. By Gil Kaufman Corey Haim Photo: MTV News After Thursday’s news that the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office told actor Corey Haim’s mother that his likely cause of death was pulmonary congestion , TMZ reported that strong medications that were found at the troubled “Lost Boys” star’s bedside. The Coroner’s office said Haim had pulmonary congestion, an enlarged heart and water in his lungs, but, according to TMZ that has not been definitively pinpointed as the cause of death in the 38-year-old actor’s demise on Wednesday. Though toxicology tests are still pending, the site said police also found pill bottles containing the powerful painkiller Vicodin, the tranquilizer Valium, an antipsychotic medication (Haloperidol) and Soma, a muscle relaxer, in the apartment Haim shared with his mother. The site reported that a well-known but unnamed Los Angeles psychiatrist prescribed all the medications to Haim on the same day, just days before he died. Haim publicly struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol for much of his career and prominent addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky told MTV News in the wake of the actor’s death that addicts sometimes are fooled into thinking that because they’re taking legal medications prescribed by a physician that they are not subject to the same abusive tendencies. “It’s so easy to get these medications, and sometimes well-meaning physicians who don’t understand addiction prescribe them for legitimate reasons,” said Pinsky, who did not treat Haim and did not have any first-hand knowledge of the circumstances of his death. “But they start taking them and don’t realize the trouble they’re getting into.” Shortly before his death, Haim had complained of flu-like symptoms and had spiked a high fever. He collapsed at his mother’s bedside early Wednesday morning and died a short time later. His manager, Marc Haislip, told Us Magazine that Haim will be buried in his native Canada in Toronto, Ontario, where he was born. Haim’s family, “want to do it back home,” he told the magazine. “But there will be a memorial in L.A.” No dates for either event have been announced yet, but it was reported that the family plans to reach out to friends in Hollywood for donations to fund the burial and service, as Haim was reportedly . Haim’s family, including sister Cari and father Bernie, have reportedly joined his mother Judy, who is very ill with cancer, in Los Angeles.

‘He was wild and he was all over the place,’ Miller Uwanawich says. By Larry Carroll Corey Haim Photo: Jason Kempin/ FilmMagic Since the news broke of Corey Haim’s death , many fans and curious onlookers have been interested in the status of the nearly dozen films he had in some stage of development around Hollywood. But in some ways, the most interesting of them may be a movie he was dismissed from — and the reasons why. “We cast Corey for the movie ‘DaZe,’ ” producer Miller Uwanawich remembered of the time he was planning to work with Haim in early 2008. “He was all great and wonderful … [then] he started having all of these wild requests — pills, to keep it bluntly,” the producer said. In case you’re wondering, yes — “DaZe” is indeed the same film that fellow recently deceased former child star Andrew Koenig would mark as his last film , and the same one that starred “Twilight” actor Jackson Rathbone. Recent interviews have had Haim’s agent Mark Heaslip insisting that the ’80s star had overcome his well-documented drug problems. But when Uwanawich was working with Haim shortly after he had filmed the second and final season of “The Two Coreys,” the producer said that he was struggling — and that struggle cost him his job. “He was always wanting us to come up with different meds,” Uwanawich explained. “This was pretty hardcore … Xanax , and there was some other stuff.” According to the producer, Haim would call him late at night and request that he procure the pills for him. “And I said, ‘Well Corey, you shouldn’t being doing that.’ But his mother was always like, ‘No, he needs it because of his back,’ and I said, ‘But in two days, he took 40 of them.’ “He was all over the place. He was wild and he was all over the place,” Uwanawich said of Haim’s mental state in those days. “I was trying to help him.” To make matters worse, Uwanawich said he had just vouched for the actor’s sobriety to the makers of a “Lost Boys” sequel. “I’m actually the one that helped him get that role; I talked to the people. He had the role, but they wanted to remove him from it,” he recalled. “He was fairly good at that time. Something in between happened, and he became what he became. “I started getting late-night phone calls from him and his mom looking for meds. And I was like, ‘No, this is not something I will do,’ ” he explained. “I will not get involved in this.” Soon afterward, Uwanawich notified Haim of his desire for a “mutual separation” for the project, a discussion that angered the star. “Let’s put it this way: I’m not surprised [to hear he died]. I’m not happy. I’m sad. For the little bickering we had, Corey was a nice guy,” the producer said, explaining that Haim’s casting set off a domino effect that led to Rathbone’s casting — and the finished film will be in theaters at the end of 2010. “I tried my best not to enable, but I should have tried to do more to help … I really felt this guy was not going to be around for much longer.” Related Videos Remembering Corey Haim MTV Rough Cut: Corey Haim Related Photos Corey Haim: A Life In Photos

Atlanta MC mentions the scandal-weary golfer on singer’s ‘Guilty.’ By Shaheem Reid T.I. Photo: aylor Hill/ FilmMagic The hook of the first songs T.I. guests on since being sentenced to a year and a day in prison says, “Don’t take me to jail.” Isn’t it ironic? Tip collaborates with Usher on a new leaked record from Raymond v. Raymond called “Guilty,” where the singer is charged with breaking his girl’s heart. Tip did record another song with Usher last year before going to prison, but it sounds like the rhymes on “Guilty” were recorded recently — he name-checks a certain scandal-plagued athlete . “Right hand to the sky/ Strike me down if I a lie,” the King of the South proclaims. “If she sayin’ she’s the victim in this case then what am I/ She got proof, well I got alibis too/ I never been on bullsh– … she ain’t caught me on no Tiger Woods sh–/ Do what I expected when she met me/ Ballin’ against the law/ Shawty arrest me then.” Usher then pleads guilty. “I guess I’m guilty of always being in the club,” he sings. “I guess I’m guilty ’cause girls always wanna show me love/ I guess I’m guilty for living and having all of the fun/ Girl, I’m guilty for that/ Girl, I’m guilty.” Other recently leaked songs include “She Don’t Know” featuring Ludacris and “OMG” featuring Will.I.Am. Raymond v. Raymond is due in stores March 30 . Related Artists T.I. Usher

Late actor’s mom was told that an early autopsy points to pulmonary congestion as the cause of death, manager tells CNN. By Kelley L. Carter Corey Haim Photo: Michael Bezjian/ Wireimage Preliminary reports reveal that 1980s heartthrob Corey Haim died of an enlarged heart with water-filled lungs, the actor’s manager told CNN . The Los Angeles County coroner told Haim’s mother that the culprit was pulmonary congestion, manager Mark Heaslip said. Haim was found dead Wednesday after collapsing in the Los Angeles apartment he shared with his mother, Judy Haim. Heaslip went on to say that this was proof that the actor didn’t die from a drug overdose , contrary to early media reports shortly after the news of his death broke. However, Brian Elias, who is with the coroner’s office, said that they are waiting for toxicology tests to return before making the official call on what ultimately killed the actor. The initial buzz of what might have actually killed Haim came from the 1980s teen icon’s decades-long struggle with drug addiction. Longtime friend and frequent co-star Corey Feldman asked Wednesday that people not “jump the gun” to conclude a drug overdose killed Haim. Heaslip, manager to both Feldman and Haim, said he seemed to be winning his battle against drug abuse in the weeks before his death. Haim had suffered from flulike symptoms for two days, the deputy coroner said. “We found no illicit drugs. However, we did recover four of his prescription meds at the location,” said Ed Winter, the Los Angeles County deputy coroner, adding that he does not know what those drugs were. Haim was “weaned down to literally zero medications” in the past two weeks by an addiction specialist, Heaslip said Wednesday on CNN’s “Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell.” The doctor “put him on a new line of medications,” Feldman said on “Larry King Live” on Wednesday.
