Corey Haim died of pneumonia in March, autopsy report rules
Drugs were not "significant contributing factors," coroner says
California attorney general used Haim as poster child in drug-abuse efforts
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Pneumonia, not drug abuse, killed actor Corey Haim, the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled in an autopsy report released Tuesday.
Although the investigation into Haim's death began as a "suspected prescription medication overdose," toxicology tests "revealed no significant contributing factors" from drugs, the coroner reported.
The autopsy found "an extremely large amount" of swelling in Haim's lungs, it said.
The ruling that his death was not related to his well-publicized drug addiction confirmed what his mother and manager have insisted for weeks: that Haim, 38, did not overdose.
Haim died March 10 after collapsing at the Los Angeles apartment he shared with his mother.
