Glee star Cory Monteith has been found dead in a hotel room in
Canada, Vancouver Police have confirmed.
The 31-year-old's body was discovered at Vancouver's Fairmont
Pacific Rim hotel just after noon on Saturday after he failed to
check out.
Police believe he was alone when he died, and have ruled out
foul play.
Doug LePard, the acting chief of Vancouver Police, said: "As was
the case in countless homes, I watched Glee regularly with my
daughters, and I know there will be shock and sadness in many
households with the news of his tragic death.
"Mr Monteith checked into the hotel on July 6 and was due to
check out of the room (on Saturday).
"There were others with Mr Monteith in his room earlier ... 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."
Monteith had voluntarily entered rehab for substance abuse
problems in April.
It was not Monteith's first time in rehab. He received treatment
when he was 19 and had previously talked about his addiction
struggles, saying he had a serious problem and took just
"anything and everything".
He told Parade magazine in 2011 that he was "lucky to be alive".
He was best known for playing Finn Hudson in the popular musical
comedy series Glee, which follows a group of American secondary
school misfits.
A post-mortem will take place on Monday, and the coroner will
decide on the next steps to establish the cause of death.
A statement on behalf of Glee's executive producers and 20th
Century Fox Television said: "We are deeply saddened by this
tragic news.
"Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional
person. He 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."
Stars have spoken of their shock at the news.
Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Bieste in Glee, wrote on
Twitter: "I have no words! My heart is broken, Cory was not only
a hell of a friend, he was one amazing man that I will hold
close to my heart forever."
Singer Taylor Swift wrote: "Speechless. And for the worst
reason."
Actress Jaimie Alexander added: "Sweet man... Gone far too soon.
Peace be with you friend."
Singer Lance Bass said: "Devastated about the news of Cory
Monteith - such an incredible guy - my thoughts are with his
family and friends."
And Zooey Deschanel wrote: "What an absolutely tragic loss of a
very talented young man."
RIP Cory.
