Actor Corey Haim died of pulmonary congestion, according to the LA County Coroner's Office, who also said he had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. Yesterday his mother Judy talked to Access Hollywood with the report, after she received the call from the coroner explaining what was found during her son's autopsy. There are no toxicology reports yet, but four different medications were taken from his room when he died on Wednesday.

Two of those pills were Soma and Valium, which were prescribed to him just a few days before his death by a psychiatrist. TMZ has an eerie video of the actor listing off medications, including those, that he's taken and been addicted to. The footage is from his show The Two Coreys, and during the episode Corey Feldman takes him to the doctor because of heart problems he'd been experiencing. Haim tells the doctor, "This whole thing is weird to me, I'm off the drugs, and I feel like I'm going to die being clean."
