Corey Feldman has been hospitalized after suffering a mid-flight medical emergency.
The “Goonies” star was rushed to the hospital after his flight from Chicago to Los Angeles landed at LAX Monday afternoon, TMZ reports.
A Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson confirmed to the outlet it responded to the airport to assist a 54-year-old male, who was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
A source close to Feldman told TMZ the ’80s teen star was feeling sick on the flight and was checked out by a fellow passenger who is a doctor.
The outlet said they’re told doctors believe Feldman may be experiencing pancreatitis, the inflammation of the pancreas, or gallstones.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, while gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid (or bile) that accumulates in your gallbladder, which can cause sudden and intense pain if they become obstructive, per the Mayo Clinic.
Feldman was in Chicago to attend an anniversary celebration for the film “Stand By Me.”
He, along with co-stars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton, attended “Stand By Me: The Film and Its Stars 40 Years Later” at The Chicago Theatre Sunday night.
