You know very sad when you have all the demons around you, that it finally takes over your body. I dreamed that I was gonna marry him when I was a teenager. Lots of love to his family and friends. YOU WILL BE MISSED COREY Now you are no longer in pain and those awful demons are gone.

Corey Haim died. I'm stunned. He was good in Lucas. I have yet to see the Lost boys. R.I.P. Corey

By Kirsty

Oh Corey. How sad is this? I now realise I was not the only one who wanted to marry him. Probably half the world at the release of those movies. So how does this happen to someone so loved. Did we love him so much it turned him into a nervous wreck? I hope he can see the new movies from heaven as (if) they are released and still feel all the love we still have for him.

I'am so bummed as a female in my late twenties. I've had a crush on Corey Haim since I was like five. As a preteen when Liscense to Drive came out I had the biggest crush, I had his posters all over ny walls "back in the day". I also, would watch "The Two Coreys" at night after work. I've always joked with my husband that I would never leave him for anybody except for Corey Haim. He truely was an amazing actor and it saddens me deeply how drugs took control of his life and career. My heart goes Out to Corey Feldman I just saw a picture of him going into Corey Haims mothers house where he died and he looks devasted it was heartbreaking to see him so sad.

if you think about it all the press hes been getting the past 2 days,has been the most press hes gotten since 1985-88. and so many people in Hollywood (girls he dated,co-actors,Directors) are all now saying such nice things about him,but when he was here they wouldn't of looked at him twice had they seen him bleeding in the street. just another victim of the soulless machine that is the Hollywood Meat Grinder.

im sorry they took it all away from you Corey,and im sorry no was was there to help you get it all back.

Keith.

My heart really goes out to Corey Feldman my heart broke watching him on Larry King and CBS, talking about Corey Haim. I was a little pissed seeing Nicole Eggerts interview though like Corey Feldman said where the hell were all these friends when he needed help. Corey Feldman has been there for him since the early eighties. Nicole dumped him, when he probably needed her the most. My heart always ached a-little when I seen him on the "The Two Coreys". He seemed so sad sometimes. To think Of an Iconic actor like Corey Haim dying while taking care of his sick mother is just heartbreaking, he shouldn't have gone out like that. Your movies will alway's be my favorite. I know this isn't the publicity he was looking for. May you be happier wherever you are now.

It is certain, and those who've lived with the horrors of addiction know, that the drug is merely a coping mechanisum for a far deeper pain. It is not about getting high, it's about feeling LESS pain. And yes, no matter what drugs do to your body physically, they do create a kind of emotional numbness that is far more addictive. The physical damage done is less important than that moment when you get high and feel all your troubles disappear, even if it's only for a moment. The physical body is a vessel for the soul, and when the soul is seared, it's only natural that eventually the body will be too. That kind of pain is like cancer... It's relentless, painful, and it eats you alive. My heart goes out to Corey Haim, but moreso to those who can't understand or accept the truth, no matter how unfathomable or irresponsible it seems, about why a person turns to drugs or alcohol in the first place.

I am especially saddened by Corey's death and I really don't know why other than to say that I feel a kind of kinship with his loved ones after my own sister died Feb. 26, 2010 as a result of a life of drugs. Though the drug itself did not kill her, the addiction she had was what got her out that night and lead her to a cruel and violent death. She was only 20 years old and she was tormented and sad and desperate for relief from the pain she felt. Perhaps she is the lucky one, as is Corey. They are home now. We are the one's left behind to feel the pain... And live with the loss of those dearest to us.

A dear friend of mine went into rehab today...this might sound dumb to some but it was Corey's death that motivated her to try and change her life. RIP Corey
