E! reports that, a celebrity memorabilia company has stepped to cover costs of his funeral. Startifacts.com has offered $20,000 to the late star’s family.
As we reported, Haim’s family was asking for donations from fans to cover the funeral cost for his unexpected demise.
The Minnesota-based company’s owner, Michael Kronick, befriended Haim in the early 2000s and purchased some personal items from him around that time.
Upon news of the teen idol’s death and his family’s financial woes, Hill said the company was contacted by many media outlets inquiring if Startifacts.com was going to put the Haim memorabilia on the block.
Haim’s personal site acknowledged Hill’s kindness.
“It appears that we may have now raised enough money to cover all expenses of Corey’s funeral!,” reads a new message. “Many thanks to Startifacts & all his caring fans & friends who sent in donations…The Haim family is very relieved to know that they will be able to lay Corey to rest at home in Canada.”
Haim died last Wednesday. No official cause of death has been reported yet. He will be laid to rest in his native Toronto, Canada.
