Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were good friends. They were both teen stars in the 80’s, many girls confused the two, and it was no surprise when both appeared in the A&E series The Two Coreys. The series ran between 2007 and 2008 and came to its final end.

After the last episode of The Two Coreys, Corey Feldman shared his concern regarding Corey Haim’s battle with drug addiction through blogging. On Corey Feldman’s blog he stated that the reason the show would end was due to the fact that he could not continue to work with Corey Haim until he sought treatment for his addiction.

“I have said it before and I will say it again, the only way I would even consider another season or anything else with CH is if he gets the help he truly needs. Susie and I wish only the best to him in his future ventures, and in no way is this due to us having any angry or ill fated feelings towards him. It is strictly out of love that I have drawn the line that I have. In simpler terms I do not feel that it would be morally right, knowing what I now know of his situation, to continue on supporting his demise,” Corey Feldman wrote on his blog.

It was evident that Corey Feldman spoke of great concern regarding his friend’s well being, emotional, and physical health. He also spoke of the great pain and emotional turmoil that is often shared by those who are close to addicts. He mentioned the emotional rollercoaster that affected not only Corey Feldman, but Corey’s wife, Susie as well.

Corey Feldman continued, “I believe there is always hope. My hope is that he gets a message from all of this and turns his life around. I wholeheartedly want to see him succeed. However I cannot keep putting my family through the emotional roller coaster of never knowing what is going to happen next. So for now we must sever ties as I have been taught this is the only way to truly take a final stand for someone’s recovery.”

As is often the case with addiction, those who care about the addict are left feeling helpless and unable to help the person seek treatment. Though the official cause of death has not yet been released in Corey Haim’s case, a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department says that it appears to be accidental overdose.

Corey Feldman stated, “I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face. I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school.

This is a tragic loss of a wonderful,beautiful,tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived. ~ Corey
