What Happened to Corey Feldman?
On June 15, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) that a 54-year-old male was in distress on a chartered flight from Chicago.
Sources say that Feldman was feeling sick throughout the flight. A doctor on board the plane also examined The Goonies actor. He was eventually taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Reports speculated that Feldman may have had pancreatitis or gallstones. After a night at the hospital for observation and tests, it was later determined that the cause of the emergency was food poisoning. It is still unknown what Feldman may have eaten to cause his illness.
"Corey is doing much better and is now out of the hospital," said his representative. "Corey wants to thank everyone for all of the love and well-wishes. He has definitely seen a lot of the messages and really appreciates everything."
