Arrest Reportedly Made In Drug Ring Connected To Corey Haim

One arrest has been made in a California state investigation into an alleged illegal prescription drug ring linked to the late Corey Haim, the California Attorney General told People.

“We have confirmed one arrest in the case, but are not releasing any other details,” Attorney General spokeswoman Christine Gasparac told the mag, explaining that the investigation began before the actor’s death and that the suspect may not have directly supplied drugs to Haim.

Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. told CNN Headline News previously told CNN Headline News that Haim had allegedly obtained thousands of pills from numerous doctors in the last year.

“How many people go to 10, 15 or 20 doctors and then run around to 10, 12 and more pharmacies to go fulfill them? And sometimes two different doctors on the same day?” Brown said on Wednesday. “If he took all the pills that our records show he was prescribed over the last year and three months, he took some very damaging assaults on his body.”

The California Attorney General had previously said a fraudulent prescription from 2009 for OxyContin was found in the late actor’s name during the investigation.

In an interview with Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos following her son’s death, Judy Haim said that the LA County Coroner’s Office told her an autopsy on the former teen idol found he had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water.

The autopsy ruled his cause of death as pulmonary congestion.

In addition, the Coroner’s Office confirmed that prescription bottles containing four different medications were taken from the actor’s room.

Haim was laid to rest on Tuesday in Toronto.
