LOS ANGELES -- Actor and former teen idol Corey Haim has died at the age of 38, the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed to KTLA.
Haim died at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday of an apparent accidental overdose, according to the LAPD's North Hollywood Division.
Coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie said an autopsy would determine an official cause of death.
Haim was found unresponsive inside an Oakwood apartment, between Burbank and the Hollywood Hills, police said.
He was at home with his mother at the time.
The Canadian-born actor, who has struggled with drug addiction, was pronounced dead Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank, police said.
Haim became a teen heartthrob in the 80s after appearing in the 1986 film "Lucas" and 1987's "The Lost Boys," which also starred fellow teen idol Corey Feldman.
Both actors appeared together on the A&E show "The Two Coreys," which aired from 2007 to 2008.
Haim was nominated for a Viewer's Choice Award at the 22nd Annual Gemini Awards in Canada for his role on the show, which was canceled after two seasons.
