Eighties heart-throb and rehab recidivist Corey Haim had an enlarged heart, pulmonary congestion and water in his lungs when he collapsed and died early Wednesday, his mother told Access Hollywood.
The devastated mom said a Los Angeles County Coroner official called with the report after an autopsy was performed Thursday.
The news followed revelations that the admitted addict, 38, had prescriptions for Valium, Vicodin and a muscle relaxant in the Burbank apartment he shared with his mom.
“No final cause of death has yet been established. We still have outstanding tests we are waiting for,” Chief Coroner Investigator Craig Harvey said late Thursday.
Harvey declined to confirm any autopsy findings, but Haim’s agent told the News his client confided that he knew he had a heart condition.
“He told me he had a skip in his heart, nothing major,” Haim’s manager Mark Heaslip said.
Heaslip said it’s possible the heart condition played a role in Haim’s death and reiterated doubts that Haim was back in the grip of deadly addiction.

Merlin Olsen, 69, a Hall of Fame defensive tackle with the Los Angeles Rams who became equally well known after his playing days as a football broadcaster, television actor and commercial pitchman, died March 11 at a hospital in Duarte, Calif., outside Los Angeles. He had mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer often related to exposure to asbestos.
Mr. Olsen was the anchor of the Rams’ defensive line known as the “Fearsome Foursome,” an intimidating front wall that captured the imagination of fans in the 1960s and helped make defensive play in football as exciting and innovative as the offense. After his playing career, he was a TV football analyst for 16 years, had leading roles in the wholesome frontier dramas “Little House on the Prairie” and “Father Murphy” and was the longtime spokesman for FTD florists.
In his 15 seasons with the Rams from 1962 to 1976, Mr. Olsen never missed a game and was named to 14 consecutive Pro Bowl teams, a record later matched by offensive lineman Bruce Matthews. He won the NFL’s most valuable player award in 1974 and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982, the first year he was eligible. His jersey number, 74, was retired by the Rams, and he still holds the all-time team record for tackles, with 915.

Dutch suspect Joran van der Sloot has confessed to disposing the body of missing American student Natalee Holloway while on the Caribbean island of Aruba, a Dutch newspaper reported on Tuesday. He made the statements in front of an RTL television camera.
The statements by van der Sloot follow a similar confession more than two years ago during an undercover operation by Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, which prosecutors said did not constitute new legal evidence.
‘De Telegraaf’ newspaper reported that – in the new confession – Van der Sloot said he is still scared of being prosecuted and admitted to disposing Holloway’s body in a marsh on Aruba. The report said the chief prosecutor on Aruba confirmed the story, but said Van der Sloot could be attempting to give multiple false versions to hide the truth.

Groundhog Day 2010 is full of surprise. Previously, many people still confused to ask did the groundhog see his shadow. However, after I surfed on the net for a second, finally I found that Staten Island Chuck answering for this question. Like that reported in NY1.com, there are two different opinions about it.
Firstly, it’s believed that the winter will be over soon because Staten Island Chuck says that Chuck did not see his shadow although in fact, the weather is more cold in the Groundhog Day 2010. It’s not really like the spring is around the corner.

Codswallop, primarily a British English term meaning “nonsense”, is an interjection of uncertain origin.
Popular etymology claims an ancient and vernacular origin for the word citation needed, with cod being interpreted from Germanic word for “bag” and later a Middle English term for the male genitals (as in codpiece). The wallop component can be referred to separately: Merriam-Webster gives it as the Middle English “walopen”, meaning to gallop.
Another popular etymology places the word’s origins in the brewing industry. In 1876, British soft drink maker Hiram Codd designed and patented a bottle designed specifically for fizzy drinks. Though his Codd-neck bottle was a success in the fizzy drink industry, alcohol drinkers disparaged Codd’s invention, often saying it was only good for “wallop” (a slang term for beer in the late-19th century). The term soon became “Codd’s Wallop” and was eventually used for anything of low-quality or rubbish.

The last, continued date of J. D. Salinger’s activity — the unpublishing of himself — is now over. It began, added or less, back he confused to Cornish, N.H., in 1953, two years afterwards “The Catcher in the Rye” came out. And it concluded with his afterlife this anniversary at the age of 91.
