Corey was a great person that struggled with being a past child actor. The pressure this town has on people to make it is very intense and Corey struggled with drugs all of his life. He was obsessed with vicodin and pain killers. When he came to my house, that was all he wanted
Said producer Nathan Folks, a friend of Haim.
He worked really hard to overcome his addiction to illegal drugs and was very anti-drugs and was in AA and NA for years which really saddens me. But it seemed like he turned to prescription drugs instead
I was considering him for one of my next films; he was definitely ready for a comeback. It’s really a shame, he was true victim of this town
Corey has an adorable mother who must be in shock. She went through a lot with him and to see his legacy end like this must be painful for her.
It’s devastating, absolutely tragic. He was a truly gifted and talented actor and a great friend of mine, he will be truly missed
Said Michael Masucci, director of the Haim’s latest movie, American Sunset.
Working with him was amazing. He was a tremendously talented actor, very passionate and dedicated to the craft and to making the best possible movie he could make. From day one, we just clicked.”
Haim’s friend and colleagues took time to pay their final respects.
