Canadian-born actor Corey Haim has died in California.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office confirmed the 38-year-old actor died around 5:15 a.m. ET Wednesday but wouldn’t give any details. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death.
Early reports suggested Haim died of an apparent accidental drug overdose, but police said it was too early to draw conclusions.
Haim had flulike symptoms before he died and was getting over-the-counter and prescription medications, Police Sgt. William Mann said. The cause of death is unknown, Sgt. Mann said.
“He could have succumbed to whatever (illness) he had or it could have been drugs. Who knows?” Sgt. Mann said. “He has had a drug problem in the past.”
The celebrity website TMZ.com said the actor had been found unresponsive in his mother's Oakwood apartment early Wednesday. He was later pronounced dead at St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, Calif.
