Corey Haim’s longtime friend and frequent co-star Corey Feldman is grieving the “tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul,” he said in a statement released Wednesday. Following Haim’s untimely death at age 38, Feldman expressed grief at the loss of his “best friend.”

“I was awakened at 8:30 this morning by my brother and sister knocking on my bedroom door. They informed me of the loss of my brother Corey Haim. My eyes weren’t even open all the way when the tears started streaming down my face,” Feldman said.

 The press release continues:

“I am so sorry for Corey, his mother Judy, his family, my family, all of our fans and, of course, my son, who I will have to find a way to explain this to when he gets home from school. This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family and best friend. We must all take this as a lesson in how we treat the people we share this world with while they are still here to make a difference. Please respect our families as we struggle and grieve through this difficult time. I hope the art Corey has left behind will be remembered as the passion of that for which he truly lived.”Corey Feldman

“The Two Coreys”

Haim’s troubled relationship with fellow ’80s teen star Feldman was documented in the A&E reality show ‘The Two Coreys.’ During the show, Haim’s substance abuse was often a recurring problem between the two actors. After taping the show in 2008, Feldman cut ties with Haim over his personal problems.

In the video, the two refer to each other as “best friends.”

He was 38.Local news station KTLA is reporting that Haim was found in an Oakwood apartment believed to belong to his mother, who was at home at the time and called emergency responders. TMZ is reporting that four prescription drug bottles were found nearby, and that he had been gripped by flu-like symptoms in recent days.

 Coroner Lt. Cheryl MacWillie told reporters that Haim died at 2:15 a.m. at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. An autopsy to determine the cause of death is pending.

Hence, I’d advise you to select a domain name that comprises of an exact keyword that matches your business as the chances of higher web traffic get a remarkable boost.

Tips For A New Car Loan In India

The problem remains the inability to buy a car. Paying the lump sum all at once becomes difficult. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. A secured car loan is the best solution for Indians who cannot afford to buy their dream car. This article will help prospective car buyers make the right auto loan decision.

Loan lenders usually give a time period of 5-7 years for repayment. If you are able to repay the amount, why not go for it? The lender will ask for any of your assets as security or may even keep your car documents. It will be returned immediately after repayment. But it is very important to know the value of your dream car, if you will be able to repay the loan on time, and also the value of the collateral.

In most of the cases, car loans are secured and your new car will be taken as collateral. Your car will be repossessed by the lender only if you fail to repay the loan. The interest rate of the secured loan is also very low compared to unsecured loans. The loan approval is got quickly and easily, and, a lot of flexible repayment options are available. However, if you are availing a bad credit loan, the interest rate may be slightly higher.

Car loans are of two types. One loan carries variable interest rates and the other would be the adjustable-rate car loan. A loan with variable interest rates would mean that you and the lender have agreed to have the interest rate changed with time. Based on the amount remaining in the course of repayment you pay the interest. This will continue till full repayment of the loan is done.

The second and the most disliked loan type is the one with adjustable interest rates. The borrower is allowed to pay a lower interest for a certain period in the course of repayment, and then, the rate goes high as per the originally agreed interest rate.

Applying for a car loan in India is not as difficult as everyone thinks. Neither does it take too long. Most lenders finish off the initial process in a day or two. However, you need to be very careful with the paperwork and read the terms and conditions carefully. Do not hurry and take some time to research online. Interest rates usually show very steep curves while comparing lenders. Get quotes from as many loan lenders as possible and go for the auto loan with the lowest interest rates.

Loan papers are usually filled with twisted terms and conditions. Bank lingo is also an essential part of their papers and most of us do not understand them. But take your time and go through the papers carefully searching for hidden fees and charges. Spending some time on the paperwork is worth the trouble and can save you huge sums of money.
