Corey Feldman wrote an emotional message to his late pal and co-star Corey Haim on the day of his funeral today, telling his tragic friend how his “heart is so broken” since his death last week.
The Lost Boys star was found unconscious at his mother’s home in Los Angeles in the early hours of Wednesday morning and pronounced dead on arrival at St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, California.
Family and close friends gathered to bid farewell to Haim at a private burial in his native Toronto, Canada on Tuesday, but his regular film collaborator Feldman decided to stay away from the memorial to ensure the event remained low-key.
However, Feldman expressed his pain over Haim’s passing in a moving post on his official blog.
He writes, “This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimise the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day… Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.
“I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realise that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined…
“My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.”
Actor Corey Feldman has been left devastated by the death of his friend, namesake and co-star Corey Haim, revealing he was woken with the terrible news today.
Haim reportedly suffered a drug overdose at his home in Oakwood, California in the early hours of Wednesday morning and was pronounced dead upon arrival at St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank.
Feldman, the 38 year old’s co-star in The Lost Boys, License To Drive, Last Resort and reality TV show The Two Coreys, reveals he learned of his pal’s death as he woke up.
He says, “I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother, Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face.
“I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans, and of course my son, who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school.
“This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family, and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time.”
Meanwhile, the tragic actor’s ex-girlfriend Nicole Eggert has opened up about her feelings, telling TV news show Entertainment Tonight she’s “very saddened” about the news and the fact that her former lover and co-star was “unable to overcome the demons he so deeply struggled with”.
