Corey Haim’s death on Wednesday, Mar 10, received a lot of media attention. The loss was possibly caused by a Pulmonary Congestion. His mom, Judy Haim, told Maria that she received an early courtesy call from the LA County Coroner’s Office who told her that an autopsy found her son had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. His cause of death was due to pulmonary congestion.

The 38 year old celluloid icon who met his premature death last Wednesday (March 10) will be buried in his hometown, Toronto, according to his mother’s statement and was reportedly romantically involved with 27-year-old “Daisy of Love” star Daisy de la Hoya.

What is Pulmonary Congestion?

A condition which is characterized by engorgement of the pulmonary vessels and transudation of fluid into the alveoli.

What are the Symptoms of Pulmonary Congestion?

They include difficulty in breathing, anxiety, and for some severe cases, coughing up with blood. Unlike Mesothelioma which is hard to detect since doctors need to do a biopsy, Pulmonary Congestion can easily be detected by just using X-Ray which can clearly show fluid build up in the lungs.
