Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose -- possibly accidental -- according to LAPD. He was 38.

Police tell us they were called to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, CA shortly before 4 AM PT to investigate.

Haim shot to fame in the 80s -- when he co-starred in a number of films, including "The Lost Boys" with Corey Feldman.

Haim reportedly suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and was rushed to UCLA Medical Center.

Haim also reportedly was in and out of rehab 15 times, but cleaned up in 2004 after moving to Toronto.

I just can't believe it! I was in elementary school and several girls and I would debate which "Corey" was our favorite. (I admit, I preferred Feldman.) One of my family's favorite comedies is License to Drive and we used to quote it all the time especially the scene between Les and the Driving Instructor ("Buckle up, Son, it's the real world out here!") He was such a good comic actor when he was young, and could have been so much more. It's sad, truly sad. The young are leaving so quickly, him, Brittney Murphy, Heath Ledger, Brad Renfro, who's next?

I remember Corey best from "Lost Boys". He was so cute. What a sad ending to his life.
