Corey Feldman to Blame for Corey Haim's Death?

Apparently, Corey Haim tried Mary Jane for the first time while he was filming the Lost Boys. Is it a coincidence that this was the first time that he had met and worked with Corey Feldman? My theory is that Feldman was the instigator and enabler since he himself was already on that path, ending up in rehab for heroin abuse years later. I always thought Corey Feldman was a bad influence on Corey Haim. Feldman found a drug buddy in Haim but Feldman was strong and picked himself up. Haim wasn't so lucky.

It bothers me that Feldman has been bellyaching that Haim's fans and Hollywood in general should have come forward sooner, supported him sooner, "helped a legend out". And what could his fans have done? The fans are not responsible for Haim's continuous downward spiral and eventual death. There was a lot of fan support out there for him even after all the time he was not in the public eye. I loved Corey Haim in the late 80's, but in all honestly, Haim's fans are mostly in their mid to late thirties now, with lives of their own. Even though we have fond memories of (embarrassing) celebrity crushes and movies back in our childhood it's no longer a central theme in our lives.

We also have to remember that drug abuse was only one of Haim's issues. Burning bridges and becoming difficult to work with doesn't bode well for a career anywhere, especially in Hollywood. Gaining back trust is a tough road, especially after 10, 15 and 20 years. No one's going to bet on a horse that never finishes a race...

A made-for-TV movie, and a few D list movie ideas floating around with his "brother" Feldman do not constitute a comeback. Let's be honest, his acting was marginal at best and his interviews were heartbreaking and made him look even more washed up. It was all too late. The Haimster had messed up his mind and he had ruined what he had. That's what 20 years of abusing drugs and multiple ODs can do.

It's a sad tale, but Feldman placing blame while he does the "circuit" is really lame. The "letter" he wrote and posted on his blog to Corey Haim was sloppy. Hey, Corey Feldman, have you ever heard of spell checking and editing before posting something this important? And for the record, if one of my best friends died I wouldn't care who showed up to take pictures, I would have wanted to be there to see them laid to rest and to support the family.

No one will ever know the true story of "The Coreys" and their relationship trials and tribulations. While I am sure Feldman is grieving for the loss of his friend, he still comes off as an ego-maniac.
