Heroin And Alcohol Killed Cory Monteith

Glee star Cory Monteith died from a heroin and alcohol overdose, according to a coroner.

The 31-year-old actor was found dead in his hotel room in the Canadian city of Vancouver on Saturday.


Barbara McLintock, from the British Columbia coroner’s office, said: “There is no evidence to suggest Mr Monteith’s death was anything other than a most sad and tragic accident.The cause of death was a mixed drug toxicity, and it involved heroin primarily and also alcohol.”

 
The findings come after a post-mortem examination and toxicological analysis.According to E! Entertainment Television, the body has already been returned to Cory’s family.

Police said the Canadian actor had been out with other people earlier, but was believed to have been alone when he died.

Monteith had talked openly about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, calling it a serious problem and telling Parade magazine in 2011 he was “lucky to be alive”.

Unfortunately, Cory wasn’t lucky this time… God Rest his Soul…
