Report: Corey Haim lived with mom to help her battle breast cancer

Corey-haim-mom The mother of Corey Haim, who was with the actor at the time of his death on Wednesday, has told RadarOnline.com that her son was living with her while she battles breast cancer.

“I am a cancer victim and Corey was helping me at home,” Judy Haim said. “He was a good boy. I’m devastated by his death.”

That was all she was willing to say on the record. It was Judy who called 911 when Corey collapsed.

"The reason Corey lived with his mother is because she was battling breast cancer and he wanted to take care of her," RadarOnline.com confirmed through several sources. "And in his final days, it was his mother who was his main concern. She was undergoing chemotherapy."
