On Tuesday morning, California Attorney General Jerry Brown Brown Jr. revealed that Haim visited seven different doctors and seven different pharmacies to obtain at least 553 doses of prescription drugs, including dangerous narcotics.

Jerry Brown says, "In a period of 32 days, Corey Haim obtained at least 553 doses of potentially dangerous prescription drugs. He died five days later. It's important for people to understand that legal, prescribed drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs, and doctor shopping can be deadly."
According to the Attorney General's office, Haim's physician confirmed that he was addicted to pain medication, and that Haim had used at least one alias to get pain pills. The report also said that Haim was doctor shopping to get his pills. Haim's doctors told agents that he was very convincing as to why he needed prescription meds for pain claiming shoulder pain while filming a movie in Canada.

Some of those doctors said they felt "duped" and "conned" when they found out from Haim's primary physician that he was a drug seeker.
