Despite Corey Haim's long-running battle with drug addiction, he was at least committed to staying clean right before his untimely death.
Haim was working on a film called "The Dead Sea" in the days proceeding his death. One of the movie's producers, Rick Tucker, told TMZ that the actor had demanded a drug and alcohol-free environment on the set.
In fact, Haim had gone as far as to include his drug-free demands in his contract. He negotiated to include a provision that required the set to be "clean" throughout the duration of the production.
All associated with the movie were supportive of Haim's efforts to avoid temptation, according to Tucker.
The cause of the 38-year-old actor's death remains a mystery. Police say Haim was taking over-the-counter and prescription medications when he collapsed in the Burbank apartment complex he was sharing with his mother.
