Cory Monteith died from heroin & alcohol overdose, coroner reveals

Glee actor Cory Monteith's autopsy result has been released. The British Columbia Coroners Service revealed that an autopsy and toxicological analysis show that 31-year-old Cory, who has struggled with addiction since he was a young teenager, died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.

Cory was found dead in his room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver, Canada on Saturday July 13th. He had been scheduled to check out earlier that day, but when he failed to do so, hotel staff entered his room and discovered his body.

In March this year Cory admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. Guess he didn't get the help he needed. May his soul rest in peace...amen.

  11. Well linda ur guess is based on ignorance as usual when it comes to mental health . Substance abuse is an illness with a social component and is difficult to treat.when people relapse they die because they take an amount which they may have taken in the past but their bodies are no longer used to especially with heroin and opiates generally . it is not the fault of the substance abuse psychiatrist or other mental health professionals that this happened

    1. How many people do treatment facilities really help in the long run? These things take God and determination..but when we choose to toss God aside n rely on human minds n modern times, then we get death.

  14. This was my favourite character on glee... He was one of the reasons I watched the show..
    When he sang "girls wanna have fun" to santana (naya rivera), that moment was epic.his girlfriend lea michele will be totally shattered, my heart bleeds for her..
    May his soul rest in perfect peace.

  26. If anything comes from a tragedy such as this... Hopefully there is something for some to 'learn'...as others have put it. I agree-addiction is NOT a hobby...we do NOT use or become addicted to affect anyone other than ourselves. Sadly...the reality is: we DO affect those we love in very destructive and painful ways. But as much as some claim- ACTIVE addiction is NOT a CHOICE. By 'active'-I mean...when an addict is entrenched in using...they are actually out of control, unable to think,behave or react rationally. It becomes an overwhelming obsession and at that point... There is 'no choice'... Willpower has zero to do with it. If addiction WAS a choice-AA would not exist and rehab and treatment centers in the USA wouldn't be filled to capacity. But once we detox...are sober and working in recovery... THEN it becomes a choice whether or not to use again. So please...if some can LEARN something from this terrible tragedy (eg Tonto Dikeh) ... Let it be that they EDUCATE themselves on the FACTS of addiction. Stop being ignorant, critical and naive...stop wasting your negative energy on invalid opinions...use that time to become AWARE, because if not already-someday.. someone you know will unfortunately be afflicted with this DISEASE and will need your support... Not your ignorance and blame. They aren't bad people...but GOOD PEOPLE suffering from a BAD DISEASE.

    Anyway,Rip cory.too bad addiction won in d end.I still don't know how chris ,lea and mark and d glee cast will cope.

  89. Oh! Still can't believe Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson in Glee) is dead?! His romance with Lea Michele (Rachael in Glee) warmed my heart. I was so invested in their characters. The number of times I smiled at my tv watching the romance between goofy Finn and ambitious diva Rachael...Was so happy when life imitated art and they started dating in real life. They always looked so genuinely happy together. I feel so bad for Lea Michele. I mean, how does one deal with this loss? What's going to happen to his character on Glee? Glee will never be the same without you Cory! I can't even watch episodes now, thinking that you are no more... If I am this sad about his death and I've never even met him, I wonder how his family, friends, Glee castmates feel. What a tragedy! If wishes were horses...

  98. Shame. It is very difficult to get over an additction. except with the ultimate grace of God. He's been an addict since teenage years. That is so serious.
    Probably moved with the wrong crowd then. Do you guys know that they have legal drug shooting clinics in his homecountry canada. I watched it on CNN. The ministry of health claim that it will help reduce HIV and Hepatitis. Now, thats crazy. they are encouraging Junkies! Cory Monteith was one.
