‘Glee’ season 5: Cory Monteith’s cause of death revealed (video)

Sad news is coming in from British Columbia and the local coroner’s office: “Glee” star Cory Monteith died thanks to a mixture of alcohol and heroin in his system, meaning that he was not able to battle off some of those demons that had taken a toll on his life for so many years.

This news was confirmed in the video below, and it is said that the investigation is continuing, as this is the only information that the coroner has at this point. When later results are revealed in the weeks ahead, we imagine that it will not become a story on the same level that it was in this instance.

As for why Cory was in the Vancouver area to begin with , he moved to the city at a reasonably early age after spending some early years in Alberta, and it is where he began to be involved extensively in the acting scene. However, his struggles with addiction eventually became so bad that he was told that if he was not going to help himself, he was going to face the possibility of prison for his crimes. This caused him to enter treatment at nineteen years old, which he later tried to do earlier this year as a way to combat some more problems. Monteith had been in Vancouver for several days before his passing. having spent some time with old friends and even members of his management team. He was last seen arriving to his hotel room alone, and there is no foul play suspected in his passing.

We will of course have more information as it comes up in the future, but for now you can click here if you want to read more about what “Glee” plans to do moving forward without one of their biggest stars.
