I loved watching Corey grow up on film. Lost Boys is still my favorite. He will truly be missed.

Sorry for the great loss, he would have made a great comeback to the movie screens. You will be sadly missed and loved forever and to your mother I am very sorry for your loss.

Is this similar to Britney Murphy who also had flu-like symptoms and was medicating herself?

My thought, exactly! And both with mothers in their home.

Very sad and tragic. Corey like so many others could not beat this terrible disease. I am so sorry for him and his family. He will be missed. R.I.P Corey Thanks for the memories and great movies.

Another tragic loss of someone who had his whole life ahead of him, how very sad. Hard to understand that he hasn't been offered some kind of show in tv or movies...his friend Corey Feldman is so successful. Heartfelt sympathy to his mom.

sounds like another pneumonia related death. But drugs lower the body's immune system
