Suspect in Drug Ring Associated With Corey Haim’s Death Arrested

(HMG) – Less than a week after actor Corey Haim died of what appeared to be an accidental overdose, Los Angeles police have charged someone with providing him with illegal prescription drugs. The suspect has not yet been identified, though he or she is believed to be involved in what officials called a “massive” drug ring.  Officials added that the investigation into the ring had been under way long before Haim died. According to the Attorney General of California, the ‘Lost Boys’ star procured “thousands of pills” from several doctors dating dating back to 2009. Just days before Haim’s death on March 10, the actor got four prescriptions from the same psychiatrist for Valium, Vicodin, Soma and haloperidol, an antipsychotic drug.  The Attorney General’s office previously confirmed that a fraudulent prescription for OxyContin in Haim’s name was discovered during the investigation: “We know there was a [doctor's] pad stolen and there was a prescription written for him using that pad, so it was fraudulent and we know it was filled.” So far, investigators have discovered about 5,000 fraudulent prescriptions connected to the drug ring.
