The news was breaking just as I was getting ready to leave for work today and I didn't have time to get the news posted and the details were still sketchy at best but now some 10 hours later more of the facts have come to light.

It was reported early on that an accidental drug overdoes was suspected and with Haim's well documented struggles with his demons it certainly seemed possible if not down right likely but tonight some new info has come to surface to suggest that Haim had been feeling ill in the last few days of his life and he was in fact at his mother's home when he passed.

It seems that most of the best information is coming from the website TMZ where they are keeping an almost hourly digest of whats going on.  CLICK HERE to keep up to date.

Haim of course shot to superstardom in the 80's when he starred with friend CORY FELDMAN in the horror flick THE LOST BOYS but for me I always remember him as the wheelchair bound kid in SILVER BULLET.  Even after the huge success of THE LOST BOYS, he was still the kid from SILVER BULLET in my mind.  He continued working although another huge success like THE LOST BOYS eluded him.  He tapped into a larger fan base in 2007 and his career came back around when he once again teamed up with childhood friend COREY FELDMAN for a reality TV series called THE TWO COREYS.

A lot of that show showcased Haim's substance abuse problem and his continued drug use seemed to strain his relationship with FELDMAN.

Regardless of his personal problems there is no doubt that Haim was an icon of 80's cinema and it is a shame that he has been taken from this world at the young age of 38.
