Gone Too Soon: Glee's Cory Monteith Dies at 31

It has been a whirlwind of emotions for Lea Michele, and the cast and fans of Glee this month. News swirl that the two were engaged and are planning to marry in a few weeks, when tragedy struck. Cory Monteith was found dead in his hotel room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, British Columbia. With cause of death still unknown, the Canadian authorities have expedited his case, both on his autopsy and toxicology. So far, as per Vancouver PD Sgt. Randy Fincham, his autopsy reveals that there are no traces of illicit drug use in Cory's remains.

Troubled Glee star, Cory Monteith, 31, has been struggling with drugs and alcohol since he was 13, stemming way back from his parents' divorce when he was 7. He just recently completed a 30-day stint in rehab, and has been spotted out and about a few days back. TMZ has spotted him last month at LAX, very healthy and sober, while walking with his lady love.

With what's suppose to be a plan for the happiest day of their lives, Lea Michele is now left with planning a nightmare of Cory's funeral, not their wedding. She was said to be shaking and devastated after getting a phone call from the cops about Cory's passing.


What's next for Glee?

Glee writers and producers had an emergency meeting yesterday to plan about what's going to happen to Glee. It has been said that this season is suppose to premiere early, and should have been Finn Hudson's season, considering last season was a turning point for Cory's character on Glee. Now with his loss, the Glee producers and writers are planning to re-write the whole storyline this season. Hopefully, they would be able to give a beautiful tribute to Cory and a good season run to remember him by, as well as make a nice story for Finn Hudson's exit to Glee. I just wish this wouldn't be a story about Finn joining the army once more, not returning to McKinley High--or Lima, Ohio forever.

Cory Monteith's remains are still under post-mortem evaluation, with toxicology results to be released in a couple of days.


Rest in peace, Cory. Glee will never be the same without you. :(
