Corey Haim death not linked to drugs

Former child star Corey Haim's recent death was not linked to drug abuse.
Corey Haim died of pneumonia not drug abuse, the BBC reports. Following Haim's death in March, the Los Angeles coroner has just released the official report of the Lost Boys star's post-mortem. The results show that while Haim, 38, had low levels of drugs in his blood, they were not "at a level that would have contributed to his death". Following an investigation shortly after his death, California's attorney general said Haim had been obtaining prescription pills, including the powerful pain-killer Oxycontin, from various sources using a variety of names, known as "doctor shopping". However, Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey explained that none of the drug was found in his system and added that it was unclear how long he had been ill for and if earlier treatment might have saved him from the effects of pneumonia.
