This is so sad, deepest sympathies to his mom, family & friends. Still love watching the Lost Boys, the two Coreys were great. He was doing better; this is going to turn out to be illness related & maybe over-the-counter meds like Brittany Murphy.

This is sad and heartbreaking, but these folks are not really dying from prescription drug overdose, sadly it is stupidity, especially when it is one after the other. When will people learn that THEY are "other people" To others and are NOT exempt.

So sad that so many of our young people seem to be dying of prescription drug overdoses.

I am so sorry for the mom to have to be without him now...and so sad that another young person has been destroyed by drugs...How many people have gotten rich from selling this garbage to people? Say no to drugs and some of you stop selling them.
