Glee star Cory Monteith, best known for his role in the
show as Finn Hudson, has been found dead at the
Fairmount Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver, Canada. He
was 31.
John L Daly, a TV news reporter in the country,
tweeted: "Glee's Cory Monteith died @Pacific Rim Hotel
Van this aft - poss OD. VPD & Coroner to announce it
@10:30p Global News @11p Randene @GlobalBC."
When he missed his check-out time, staff at the hotel
went to check on him and found his body. He had been
deceased for several hours. His family were informed of
his death before it was confirmed at a press conference
by police.
Born Cory Allan Michael Monteith on 11 May, 1982 in
Canada, Cory moved to Vancouver Island at a very young
age. His parents divorced when he was seven and various
personal issues led to him delving in drugs and alcohol as
a student at school.
Cory took on various jobs, including bus driver, roofer
and cab driver, before pursuing a career in acting. He
landed small roles in several films and TV shows,
including Final Destination 3, Smallville, Supernatural,
Flash Gordon, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1.
When Glee was being cast, videos of Cory were
submitted and he attended a mass audition before
landing the role which brought him international fame in
2009.
In late March of this year, Cory's representative told
America's People magazine that the actor had
"voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for
substance addiction".
This was not his first time in rehab as he'd had
treatment when he was 19. Admirably open about his
addiction struggles, Cory revealed he had a serious
problem and had taken "anything and everything".
In 2011 he told America's Parade magazine that he was
"lucky to be alive".
Cory Monteith had been dating fellow Glee star Lea
Michele (who plays his on screen off again/on again
girlfriend, Rachel Berry) since 2012. She had told People
magazine that she loved and supported him and was
proud he was going to rehab.
Foul play has been ruled out and further examinations
will take place to discover the exact cause of death.
This is a terrible tragedy for his loved ones and fans.
