When asked if she felt the news vindicated her son from critics who assumed Haim had died from a drug overdose, Judy responded: “Yes, exactly.”

In the released report, the specific causes of death were listed as: diffused alveolar damage, community acquired pneumonia, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with coronary arteriosclerosis.

As RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, Haim suffered from a pre-existing heart condition for most of his life. Susie Feldman, wife of Haim’s best friend Corey Feldman, told RadarOnline.com that friends tried to encourage Haim to get healthy after doctors told him his heart condition was serious.

EXCLUSIVE: Doctor Told Corey Haim His “Heart & Liver Couldn’t Take Much More”

“He had this thing where if you pressed on his chest, you could feel fluid... I guess it was blood...like squirting out, like his heart wasn’t working right,” Feldman told RadarOnline.com. “Three years ago he went to a doctor to check out his heart. He was told "you’ve got to get yourself healthy, your heart and your liver can’t take much more.’"



A drug addict can also die from getting hit by a car, doesn't change the fact that they are still a drug addict. Besides, this is a bs cover up anyway. Years of drug abuse ultimately caused this.

Since Corey suffered from a form of Cardiomyopathy it could have been anything that could have eventually brought him down. Pneumonia, or any other illness would be tough to battle with that particular heart condition.

May Corey rest in peace now. He never could find the peace and happiness he wanted in life so hopefully he is now at peace. Sadly there were demons haunting him all his life & no one could help him.

Glad for this news. I hope she's at peace finally and can deal with her own illness. Also glad she flushed all that crap. Smart move. I would have done it as well.

aww be kind, she lost her only son and surely she must be feeling guilty for all the years she was unable to stop his unhealthy habits. Allow her this one relief of knowing he did not die of a drug overdose. Peace be with you Mrs. Haim

You can only influence children at an early age. You will find when your children get to be adults they REALLY DO lead their own lives and make their own choices and they don't even tell you what all those choices are.

His mother is comparable to Dina Lohan and his dad was like Micheal. Cory neveer stood a chance-much like the Gosselin 8. Those kids are doomed.

True! Always best to lead by example and hope they make good choices as adults. Must have been very hard for her to watch Corey make some of the choices he made and not have the ability to stop him. Prayers to her
