Cory Monteith died of heroin, alcohol overdose


Glee actor Cory Monteith died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol, the British Columbia coroner’s office said.

“There is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most tragic accident,” the office said in a statement.

The 31-year-old was found dead in his Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on Saturday (Sunday, NZ time), after he didn’t check out on time. He was believed to be alone when he died.

Police said Monteith had been out with people earlier, but video and electronic records from the hotel indicated he returned to his room by himself early Saturday.

Meanwhile the Westboro Baptist Church announced on Twitter that they will be picketing Monteith’s funeral

In a series of homophobic tweets they called the actor a “fagenabler” who was “struck down by raging mad god.”

But if Monteith funeral should be in his home country Canada, the WBC might have no luck.
