The CNN reported on July 14, 2013, that ' Glee' star Cory Monteith, who famously played the role of heartthrob Finn Hudson in the musical show of Fox, was found dead on Saturday in a hotel room in Vancouver.
Vancouver Police said that the cause of death of the 31-year-old was not immediately apparent.
The autopsy will be conducted by Medical examiners on Monday. Staff members at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel discovered Monteith's body on Saturday noon after he did not checkout on time.
At one point on Friday night, the actor had several people over to his room and he was also seen in the early morning hours returning to his room as per the hotel surveillance video.
Monteith's publicist Melissa Kates, said in an e-mail that they are in shock and mourning the tragic loss.
Monteith was admitted in rehab early this year for drug addiction. He told Parade magazine in 2011 that he was 13 when he began using drugs and by 19 he had to go to rehab after intervention of his mother and friends.
Cory Monteith starred in the hit musical comedy show 'Glee' from its beginning in 2009 and went on to win a Teen Choice award for top actor in a comedy in 2011.
The show also won Screen Actors Guild award for its ensemble cast in a comedy in 2010.
