When asked if she felt the news vindicated her son from critics who assumed Haim had died from a drug overdose, Judy responded: “Yes, exactly.”
In the released report, the specific causes of death were listed as: diffused alveolar damage, community acquired pneumonia, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with coronary arteriosclerosis.
