Corey Haim Suspected Of Selling Prescription Drugs

We previously reported that Corey Haim had obtained 553 doses of prescription drugs before he died, but it seems he was possibly selling them.

According to Dr. Bruce Goldberger, Haim's behavior does not come as a shock!

The physician said:

“I’m not surprised at these amounts because Corey Haim was just behaving like thousands of addicts across the country right now. He was probably selling some of these drugs as it was well documented that he had money problems and the tragedy is that the system totally failed him."

Corey was also linked to an illegal prescription drug ring, where prescription drug pads are stolen from doctors and used illegally. Although there were 5,000 fraudulent prescriptions found, it only led to one arrest.

Sad.

Twenty Docs Receive Subpoenas In Connection To Corey Haim’s Death

Sad.

As of today, approximately 20 doctors have been issued subpoenas requesting they give up evidence in connection to the death of actor Corey Haim.

Whether these doctors were involved in the drug ring Corey was previously connected to is unknown, but sources believe that this step with further fuel the theory that Corey died of drug overdose.

To fuel the fire, though the cause of death still remains a mystery, California's Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. revealed the actor had obtained an illegal order for painkiller OxyContin, which may be another reason the twenty doctors received subpoenas.

However, how helpful the doctors will be is yet to be seen. Already, seven of the docs claim to have never even having met Corey, much less prescribe medications to him.

This is sure to get much worse before it gets any better. Very sad.

The Corey Haim Memorial Fund Needs More $$$!

He passed away with hardly a cent to his name!

Corey Haim's funeral still has unmet expenses and the memorial fund in his honor is still accepting donations. The website reads:

"Unfortunately, the amount of donation the media has reported that Startifacts made to The Corey Haim Memorial Fund was less in actuality (they donated $10,000 rather than $20,000).

"This means that the funeral expenses have not been taken care of in their entirety. If you haven't donated and would like to, please know that donations are still very much needed."

Haim filed for bankruptcy in 1997 revealing that he owed $104,000 to the IRS and $100,000 to the state of California for taxes and medical expenses. His only assets were a 1987 BMW, $100 in cash, $750 in clothing and $7,500 in residuals and royalties as well as a pension plan.

Doctors Under Investigation in Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy, Corey Haim Deaths

The deaths of Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy and Corey Haim raised questions regarding prescription drugs, and have sparked an investigation, sources report.

The California State Attorney General's Office is investigating a number of doctors who prescribed meds for the aforementioned stars, all of whom died recently.

Several dozen doctors are being investigated for allegedly prescribing medication without medical justification. The A.G. is also looking at their various aliases.

Sources say between 25-30 doctors are being "actively investigated." As we know, Dr. Conrad Murray already faces a manslaughter charge in the Jackson case.

He may not be the last. Two doctors who prescribed drugs to Anna Nicole Smith also face charges in connection with the former Playboy model's 2007 death.

The deaths of these stars beg many questions about the ethics of prescribing certain drugs, and have now prompted a California Attorney General's office investigation.

Continuing this disturbing trend, Haim's death earlier this month has already been linked to a massive drug ring, with a criminal investigation sure to follow.
