Corey Haim’s mother claims the city of Toronto
will be paying for the funeral of her late son, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
Haim, 38, who died on Wednesday, was born in Toronto. The city issued a news release saying it won’t be commenting on this matter.
Haim’s family reached out to his fans, asking for donations
to cover the cost of his funeral and bringing his body home.
His longtime friend and “Lost Boys” co-star Corey Feldman
told CNN’s Larry King that Haim was broke and owed the U.S.
government $200, 000 is taxes.
When he died, Haim was living with his mother, who is suffering from breast
cancer, in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that claim Haim may have
been involved in a major drug ring that provided him with an illegal
prescription for painkillers.Authorities told The Associated Press that during an
investigation of the ring, the attorney general’s office found records of the phony prescription with Haim’s
name on it.
The ring allegedly used the doctor’s identities to order
prescription notepads, then sells them to addicts and dealers.
The Los Angeles Coroner has found Haim had an enlarged heart,
pulmonary congestion and water in his lungs when he died.
A full toxicology report will be back in about six weeks.
