Actor Corey Feldman was hospitalized overnight after experiencing a medical emergency during a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. According to People Magazine, paramedics met the 54-year-old at LAX after he felt sick in the air and was later taken to a hospital for evaluation. Doctors have since ruled out gallstones as the cause, though other possibilities are still being examined. The incident came just as Feldman had been traveling for recent public appearances tied to the 40th anniversary of Stand by Me.
