Cory Monteith dead at 31
Cory Monteith plays Finn Hudson on Glee. He was found dead at the Pacific Rim Hotel after an overdose. He completed a drug treatment program last April after checking in earlier this year.
(Note: Police did not confirm cause of death at the press conference, but I’m keeping this up since it was the original breaking news. See revised article below.)
From Canada.com:
Vancouver police announced Saturday night that a 10:30 p.m. press conference would be held to confirm the death of a Hollywood actor.
About a half-hour earlier, though, CTV News and other sources indicated that Glee star Cory Monteith was found dead at the Pacific Rim Hotel after a drug overdose.
Born in Calgary on May 11, 1982, Monteith began his acting career in Vancouver, and was cast as Finn Hudson on Glee when the Fox series debuted in 2009.
Monteith admitted himself into a facility for substance addiction earlier this year and completed the treatment program in April.
Sources tell CTV Glee star Cory #Monteith found dead today in Vancouver. Police expected to confirm at 10:30.
