LOS ANGELES — Actor Corey Haim's funeral will take place in his native Canada, his mother tells Access Hollywood.
In an interview airing Wednesday night, Judy Haim reveals her plans to move back to Toronto to be closer to her daughter, who is expecting a baby within the next few weeks. While a date for the funeral has yet to be announced, the star's family wanted him buried nearby so they could visit him.
Haim, 38, died early Wednesday after collapsing at the home he was sharing with his mother in Los Angeles. He had flu-like symptoms that he was treating with prescription medications in the days leading up to his death, which has triggered drug overdose rumors in the tabloids. However, Judy Haim insists the public shouldn't jump to conclusions based on the former teen idol's past drug problems.
"Don't make assumptions before you get results," she tells Access reporter Maria Menounos.
Friends say Haim's final months were spent supporting his 61-year-old mother, who is currently battling breast cancer.
"Corey had been attending every doctor's appointment with his mom," the late actor's agent, Mark Heaslip, told People. "It was amazing how well he supported her."
