Corey Feldman Plans Memorial For BFF!
Corey Feldman says he won’t be attending his BFF’s funeral!
Teen star Corey Haim, who died March 10, will be laid to rest Tuesday in Toronto with only close family members at his side.
“In the days following my best friend Corey Haim’s death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me,” Feldman says in a statement. “I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small private affair.”
“Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family’s wishes, I have decided not to attend. Instead, I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial,” Feldman continues. “As a sign of respect, I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice. I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month. At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community.”
The official cause of Haim’s death has yet to be confirmed as they’re still waiting on toxicology test results, but his mother says she was told by the coroner that her son suffered from pulmonary congestion.
The police and California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. seem to think otherwise though. On Friday, Brown told Usmagazine.com that Haim’s death has been linked to an “illegal and massive prescription-drug ring.”
What happened to those rumors stating that Corey Haim’s family wanted the fans to pay for funeral costs???
