Corey Haim has died.

The ‘Lost Boys’ actor was found unresponsive at the Los Angeles apartment he shared with his mother at 3.30am today (10.03.10), according to KTLA TV.

Canadian-born Corey, who was 38, is believed to have passed away from an accidental drugs overdose at the property in Oakwood, near Burbank, California. His mother was present at the time.

The star was taken to Providence St. Joseph’s Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, according to sources at the Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood Division.

Coroner’s Lieutenant Cheryl MacWillie has already revealed an autopsy will be carried out to determine the official cause of death.

Corey shot to fame in the 80s after appearing in ‘Lucas’, werewolf movie ‘Silver Bullet’ and cult vampire film ‘The Lost Boys’, which also starred Kiefer Sutherland.

He also briefly dated former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham in 1995.

Corey had made no secret of his battles with drug abuse and in 2000 he confessed to taking large quantities of the sedative Valium every day.

But he appeared to be a battle he had won and in 2004 he claimed he had overcome his substance abuse problems, saying: “I’m clean, sober, humble and happy.”

The ‘Lost Boys’ actor insists he doesn’t want to split from his wife of seven years, Susannah, after she filed papers last week.

His representative said: “Corey is deeply hurt and saddened by this unexpected change in their relationship, and has done nothing to contribute to the demise of the marriage.

“He is hopeful that he and Susie can work to resolve this quickly and amicably, and he is fully committed to doing what is best for the welfare of their son.”

Susannah cited “irreconcilable differences” in the papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on October 22.

She has requested legal and physical custody of their five-year-old son Zen, with Corey paying spousal and child support, while having visitation rights.

Corey and Susannah married in 2002 – nine months after meeting in a nightclub – on the final episode of reality show ‘The Surreal Life’.

In 2007, Corey revealed how Susannah and his son had helped him overcome his depression and drug abuse problem.

He said: “Six years together and we’re still in love. Whereas I used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things, I see my son’s bright eyes and smile in the morning, and suddenly, I don’t feel like I’m depressed anymore. There’s nothing to be depressed about when you’ve got that.”
