Corey Haim had been getting a massive amount of prescription drugs from numerous doctors, according to the California Attorney General.
A.G. Jerry Brown -- who is investigating a fraudulent prescription drug ring that has a Corey Haim connection -- said on HLN's "Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell," "How many people go to 10 or 15 or 20 doctors and then run around to 10, 12 and more pharmacies to go fulfill them and sometimes two different doctors in the same day?"
Brown says pharmacy records show Haim obtained "thousands" of pills from dozens of doctors over the last year.
As we first reported, just days before Haim's death, he obtained 4 prescriptions from the same psychiatrist -- Valium, Vicodin, Soma and haloperidol, an antipsychotic drug.

Jason Wahler -- former star of "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" -- has somehow made his way out of a Mexican jail, but for some reason the U.S. Consulate is keeping the reason for Jason's release a secret.

Wahler was cuffed in Cabo last Thursday and thrown in the pokey after getting in a fight. We couldn't find any record of Jason yesterday when we called various jails.
Today the Consulate told TMZ Jason was released seven hours after being locked up. As for why jailers let him out: Wahler signed a document keeping the terms of his release secret. We've never heard of that either.
Jason's dad tells TMZ as far as he knows no charges were filed against his son and he's back in L.A. His dad says Jason tells him he was not drinking and was actually released after one hour.

TMZ has learned Georgia law enforcement officers have contacted the lawyer for a woman who made a sexual assault claim last year against Ben Roethlisberger.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation -- which is currently investigating Ben for an alleged sexual assault earlier this month -- contacted Cal Dunlap, the attorney for Andrea McNulty, requesting a sit down with her.
McNulty sued Ben last year, claiming Ben sexually assaulted her in a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2008. Ben denies the claim.
Dunlap flatly rejected GBI's overture, telling TMZ, "We believe the facts alleged by our client are already in public documents. A case in Georgia ought to be brought or not brought on its own merits."

Katherine Jackson and her people insist the incident involving Jermaine Jackson's son, Jaafar, and the stun gun was an isolated event -- but TMZ has obtained a home movie that shows Jaafar is no stranger to playing with guns.

The scene -- which appears to have been shot several months ago -- begins with Jaafar (left) barging into Jermajesty's room, Airsoft gun drawn, and then ordering his little brother to get on the ground. Jaafar pushes Jermajesty to the ground, pretends to pistol-whip him, handcuffs him and then gives the youngster an incomplete version of his Miranda rights.
Jaafar then tells his brother, "Don't move or I'll bust your head open."
Jaafar then cocks the gun, points it to Jermajesty's head, pulls the trigger and you hear the click. Jermajesty plays dead and Jaafar drags him by the leg out of the room.
TMZ decided not to post the video.
As for the stun gun incident, sources tell TMZ Jaafar pointed the weapon at two of Michael Jackson's kids -- Blanket and Prince -- but the family insists the two kids weren't even in the same room.
Our sources say the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services are still reviewing the stun gun incident.
