Despite Corey Haim’s long battle with drug addiction, his untimely death in March was not caused by drugs, prescription or otherwise, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.

Haim was 38 when he died on March 10, 2010 in California. He had been suffering from Pneumonia and the coroner also found Corey Haim to have an enlarged heart. The coroner also found that Haim’s heart muscle was thicker than usual and that he suffered from hardened arteries. The coroner’s report said, “Haim died of diffuse alveolar damage and community acquired pneumonia, along with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with coronary arteriosclerosis.”


The toxicology report took weeks to be completed and made public. The coroner found that there were 8 types of drugs in Haim’s system, but that none of them were in high enough amounts to contribute to his death. Some of the drugs were specifically to treat flu symptoms, though marijuana was also found in Haim’s blood.

Corey Haim was linked to an illegal prescription drug ring by California Attorney General Jerry Brown, after Haim’s death. Brown accused Haim of doctor shopping to acquire over 500 prescriptions for medications which included Vicodin and OxyContin.
