Cory Monteith ('Glee' Star) Found Dead in Hotel Room
Cory Monteith, the 31-year-old actor best known for his role as Finn Hudson on Fox's Glee, was found dead Saturday afternoon on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in downtown Vancouver, the city's police department confirmed Saturday night.
"Mr. Monteith checked into the hotel in July 6th and was due to check out of the room today," Vancouver Police's Acting Chief Doug LePard said during a live streamed press conference. "There were others with Mr. Monteith in his room earlier last night, but video and fob key entries show him returning to his room by himself in the early morning hours and we believe he was alone when he died
"When he missed his check-out time, staff went to the room at noon and found his body."
No cause of death has been determined, although rumors about a possible drug overdose quickly spread online before the press conference.
Monteith has had a history with drugs, having checked himself into an addiction treatment facility in April, which wasn't his first stint in rehab.
An autopsy is planned for Monday and the coroner will issue a cause of death after that. He was dead for several hours before being found. LePard said, however, "all indications are that there was no foul play."
Monteith's final tweets — sent July 12 — were about Syfy's TV movie Sharknado:
"Finn Hudson" immediately trended worldwide (as did #RipCoryMonteith minutes later) on Twitter after policed confirmed Monteith death.
"As was the case in countless homes, I watched Glee regularly with my daughters," LePard added, "and I know there will be shock and sadness in many households with the news of his tragic death."
Detectives will use hotel surveillance cameras to aid in the investigation. The police department plans to release more details Sunday and Monday.
Monteith had been dating Glee co-star Lea Michele. The two were rumored to wed soon, with fellow cast member Matthew Morrison recently reportedly uttering, "They have what it takes to last. I will sing at their wedding."
On Facebook, user Stephen Cooper suggested Fox remember Monteith with a special televised event:
"One episode. Just have one episode dedicated to him. An episode with all of his goofy outtakes and scenes. An episode where everyone says how they felt about him and everything. A dedicated remembrance. Something to give everyone just a little bit of closure."
Here are a few performance scenes highlighting Monteith's work as Finn Hudson:
