"same as he" or "same as him"?

Hello. First time posting, and I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I want to ask after "same as", what pronoun should I use?  As in the sentence, "My friend was trapped in the same room as him/he".  Why would you use one rather than the other?
Thank you in advance.

My friend was trapped in the same room as him . It is the object position, not the subject position.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I thought that was the case, but I didn't know why, so I wanted to make sure. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
