The Vancouver Police department held a press conference on Saturday night to confirm the death of actor Cory Monteith.
His body was found in a hotel room at Vancouver’s Pacific Rim Hotel Saturday afternoon. The 31-year old was the star of Fox’s “Glee”.
Monteith was born in Calgary but raised in Victoria.
He was in a relationship with his Glee co-star, American actress Lea Michele.
In March, he voluntarily admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. He had previously received substance abuse treatment over a decade earlier, when he was 19-years old. He checked out of the rehab facility in April.
Foul play is not suspected and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
Back in 2010, 680News showbiz Editor Gloria Martin interviewed Monteith on his role in Fox’s “Glee”.
Monteith also joined Gloria Martin in the 680New studio in 2009 where he discussed the best and worst parts of “Glee”.
Cory Monteith’s last Tweet was sent on April 23.
