Actor Corey Haim died from pneumonia complications and drugs found in his system were not a factor in his death, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office ruled today.

The 38-year-old actor died on March 10 after collapsing in his mother's apartment.

He had low levels of both over-the-counter and prescription drugs and some marijuana in his body, but his death was ruled to have been due to natural causes.

Previous reports said Haim had prescriptions for large doses of powerful painkillers, including Oxycontin. But no Oxycontin was found in his system.
