Wow. Talk about fate trying to step and save your ass. TMZ reports that Corey Haim was offered a spot on Celebrity Rehab just last week but he turned them down.

Sources connected with Dr. Drew’s show tell us casting producers called Corey. They say he was “extremely defensive and insulted, saying, ‘It’s the last show I’d ever do.’”
Our sources say the 3-minute conversation ended with Corey saying, “I do not need help.”

All the reports say that only prescription drugs were found in his home, so I suppose he was living in that ‘they are from a doctor so they are ok’ world. Chances are he would have died anyway, even if he had accepted VH1’s offer. I read earlier today that he was recovering from the flu, just like Brittany Murphy when he died.
