Los Angeles, California  --

Actor Corey Haim, who appeared in a number of movies during the 1980s, died early today.    He was just 38 years old.

Haim, 38, was taken to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, where he was pronounced dead at about 3:30 a.m.  He was living at the world famous Oakwood Apartments in the Hollywood Hills, and last night he collapsed at around 1:30 a.m. in his unit.

According to his mother, Haim had been suffering from flu-like symptoms for the past couple of days.  Law enforcement is not ruling out that his death is realated to a possible "drug overdose." 

Haim's most famous role was in the 1987 movie "The Lost Boys" in which he appeared with his frequent co-star, Corey Feldman.

In later years, the two friends -- who appeared in eight movies together -- both struggled with drug abuse and went their separate ways. They reunited for a reality show, "The Two Coreys," in 2007, but A&E Network canceled the program after slightly more than a year.

Stay tuned for media madness...or not....
Sad.  RIP.
