GLEE’s Cory Monteith Dead at 31
July 14, 2013 by Marisa Roffman
Some sad news: GLEE star Cory Monteith (Finn) has passed away. He was 31.
Vancouver Acting Chief Doug LePard said in a statement that Monteith was found at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, and was discovered after he had missed his scheduled check-out. While there was no released cause of death — LePard stated there was an ongoing investigation — he noted “all indications are that there was no foul play.”
Monteith missed part of GLEE’s final episodes this past season to complete a stay in a rehabilitation center to treat substance addiction.
A very sad day, and condolences to his family, loved ones, coworkers, and fans.
Update: 20th Century Fox, Fox, and the GLEE producers have released this statement: “We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. Cory was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.”
