Corey Haim, star of the Lost Boys and many other 80’s classics, was found dead today in Los Angeles.

Haim died early Wednesday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Los Angeles County coroner’s Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said.

“As he got out of bed, he felt a little weak and went down to the floor on his knees,” Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said. His mother called paramedics.

An autopsy will determine cause of death. There was no evidence of foul play, police Sgt. Michael Kammert said.

Haim acknowledged his struggle with drug abuse to a British tabloid in 2004.

“I was working on ‘Lost Boys’ when I smoked my first joint,” he told The Sun. “I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack.”

From the Michael Jackson autopsy: here are 5 little known facts about the dead king of pop, Michael Jackson:

1. Jackson was telling the truth when he said his odd skin color shift stemmed from Vitiligo, a condition resulting in white patches appearing on dark skin.
2. While his Vitiligo was real, his hair was not. MJ’s hair “was sparse” and connected to a wig. His real hair was short and curly; the wig long and straight.
3. Michael had eyeliner, lips and eyebrows permanently tattooed.
4. There are 61 photos were taken of Jackson’s body before and during the procedure - way more than you see taken by examiners on CSI or NCIS.
5. Most significantly, in light of the charges against Dr. Conrad Murray, standards for administering Propofol were not met: “recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present.”
