Hollywood loses one of its most promising young stars much too soon. Cory Monteith,
best known for playing lovable jock Finn Hudson on FOX musical series Glee, was found dead
in his Vancouver hotel this past Saturday. An autopsy is being performed Monday to determine
the exact cause of death, though Monteith had always been open about his struggle with
addiction, and had recently completed his second rehab stint this past April. Cory's
on-and-off-screen girlfriend Lea Michele has yet to release her own statement, though her
rep has requested that fans and press give her privacy during this devastating time.
It's unclear how this will affect the future the Glee, which had previously been renewed
for 5th and 6th seasons. A statement was released on behalf of the show's executive producers
saying "He was a true joy work with and we will miss him tremendously." Our thoughts
are with his friends, family and fans -- Cory, may you rest in peace.
