Corey Haim apparently rejected offers for a televised intervention on the U.S. TV programme Celebrity Rehab With Dr Drew in the final days before he died of an apparent drug overdose.
 
The 38-year-old star collapsed at his home in Oakwood, California in the early hours of Wednesday morning and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
 
The tragic actor had battled his drug demons for decades and made a reported 15 trips to rehab in a bid to kick his addictions.
 
And, ironically, it turns out Celebrity Rehab casting directors pitched the show to Corey’s mother last October, and followed up with the actor within the last 10 days, in an effort to help him get his life back on track.
 
According to gossip website TMZ, Corey shot down the offer to appear on Dr. Drew Pinsky's show, claiming, "I do not need help."
 
A source close to the TV show also told the website Corey was "extremely defensive and insulted," and stated, "It's the last show I'd ever do."
 
According to Los Angeles Coroner's Office, there were no signs of foul play in the 80s star’s death. The cause of death will be released pending the results of his autopsy and toxicology reports.

How sad…
