Former teenage heartthrob Corey Haim has been found dead. The star, who has a long history of drug addiction, was taken to St Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, California.
The 38-year-old was pronounced dead in the early hours.
Corey had dated Victoria Beckham before the Spice Girls went global.
She later said the relationship was never consummated and they "just kissed".
Police say he was found at a nearby apartment and that his mother was with him when the ambulance arrived.
Corey was a teen heartthrob in the 80s and appeared in several movies, including The Lost Boys along with fellow teen idol Corey Feldman.
Reports suggest he died of an accidental overdose. Corey was born in Canada.
