Authorities investigating the death of Corey Haim have recovered four prescription drug bottles bearing the actor's name - but no illegal substances.

Assistant chief coroner Ed Winter declined to identify the drugs discovered.

Winter says an autopsy was done on Thursday, but his office is awaiting toxicology test results which could take two months before determining a cause of death.

Corey died Wednesday in Burbank, California, after collapsing at his mother's apartment. He was battling flulike symptoms in the days before his death.

The 38-year-old battled drug addiction for years.

He earned fame for roles in the 1980s films Lucas and The Lost Boys. He recently completed several film projects.
