Corey Feldman has been taken to the hospital due to a medical emergency that occurred during a flight. The actor, known for his role in “The Goonies,” was assisted by emergency responders upon his arrival at LAX following a flight from Chicago.
A spokesperson from the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that a 54-year-old male, identified as Feldman, was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment after experiencing illness during the flight. Reports suggest that a fellow passenger who is a doctor examined Feldman while the aircraft was still airborne.
Medical professionals suspect that Feldman may be suffering from pancreatitis or gallstones, conditions that require immediate medical attention according to the NHS. Pancreatitis is described as a severe condition characterized by sudden inflammation and pain in the pancreas.
Feldman had traveled to Chicago to attend an anniversary event for the movie “Stand By Me” before his health scare. He portrayed the character of Clark ‘Mouth’ Devereaux in “The Goonies,” showcasing his wit and talkative personality.
A prominent figure in the 1980s, Feldman starred in various films, including “The Lost Boys.” In recent years, he has been actively advocating against child abuse in the entertainment industry, drawing from his personal experiences and challenges, including struggles with substance abuse.
Before his medical emergency, Feldman had visited Michael Jackson’s childhood home in Gary, Indiana, as a tribute to the late singer on the anniversary of his passing. Jackson, who died in 2009 at the age of 50 from a drug overdose-induced heart attack, was a close friend of Feldman.
Despite his health setback, Feldman remains committed to his music and acting projects while continuing his activism efforts. He has been married three times and remains dedicated to raising awareness on important social issues.
