Actor Corey Haim had a fraudulent prescription when he died that was linked to a major drug ring, authorities say.The California Attorney General's Office said Friday it was investigating the drug ring and how the Toronto-born actor obtained the prescription.Haim, a 1980s heartthrob who starred in The Lost Boys and License to Drive, died Wednesday at age 38.An autopsy was performed on Thursday, but the coroner's office has not declared a cause of death. Toxicology tests could take another six to eight weeks.However, Haim's mother, who was with him in Burbank, Calif., at the time of his death, said the coroner's office told her Haim had an enlarged heart and water in his lungs. She said she was told the cause of death may be pulmonary congestion.Haim had complained of flu-like symptoms in the days before his death. He had battled drug addiction for years.Winter declined to say what prescription drugs had been found in Haim's apartment.
