'Glee' star Cory Monteith was found dead on Saturday, July 13 in a hotel room in Vancouver. The BC Coroners Service has confirmed that that the actor, 31, died of a mixed drug toxicity.
Originally, this weekend's 'Glee' convention in England was supposed to be a celebration of all things McKinley High, but after the sudden passing of Cory Monteith, the large gathering turned into a memorial for the 31-year-old actor.
Beloved ‘Glee’ star Cory Monteith — who played the role of Finn Hudson — was found dead in Vancouver, Canada on Saturday (July 13). Just two days before he died, he reportedly spent a "a quiet night with a lot of laughing" with his former acting teacher Maureen Webb.
Cory Monteith was himself a bit of an underdog in the celebrity sphere. A bit of a Cinderella story if you will. That is another thing that makes his death more tragic.
