Wow . . . we were just discussing at work how we all thought he had cleaned up his act. Sad. :(

That is so sad. We watched the reality show he was on not long ago "The two Coreys". It was obvious he was still battling his drug addictions and at times the addiction was in control. He seemed to be trying really hard.

Very sad, and sad that he had such a rough time of it after his early fame.

Breaks my heart when a young life gets thrown away like this.

Wow ... he was just on TMZ last week and my friend Bryant and I discussed the fact that he looked like he looked really strung out.

This is one I'm really not surprised about. He's never been able to get it together. Very sad!

When i just logged on to the internet on my homepage (yahoo) I just read this. I am very sad by this news :(

I always worried/knew this day would probably come but it doesn't make it any less sad or shocking. I wonder what his relationship was like with Corey Feldman at his passing? (I too was a fan of the show "two Corey's")

I know some people are always messing up, but it doesn't mean you should just write them off, everyone needs someone to talk to and be there for them no matter how many times they have messed up.

I wonder if it was a combination of his heart condition and the flu or sickness that he had had weakened his heart further.

So sad :(

So sad. I still think The Lost Boys is one of the best vampire movies ever made.

I have always loved him in Lucas and Dream a Little Dream.
I pray he is at peace now.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this time.
