Corey Feldman spoke with Larry King on the day of Haim's death, stating:
"...He was his own enemy. I mean, look, a lot of people that are artists tend to be their own worst enemy because we're passionate people... Most recently he's been, honestly, in the best frame of mind that he's ever been in, in the past year..."
Feldman added that Haim had died "very destitute" and alone.
