Brisith Columbia Coroner's Service Confirms Cause of Death for Actor Cory Monteith

British Columbia's Coroner's Service confirmed today that the Cause of Death for Actor Cory Monteith from Gless was a combination of heroin and alcohol. And they are calling it accidental. Cory was found dead in his hotel room on July 13, 2013 when he failed to check out as scheduled, the hotel staff entered his room and found him dead on the floor. RCMP subsequently found a spoon with heroin residue, a used needle and 2 champagne bottles in the room. Cory had just gotten out of rehab for the 2nd time in April of 2013, but apparently it didn't last and he relapsed again in July resulting in his death. So sad, he had everything to live for, a hit TV show, tons of money, concerts, hit records and his health. Too bad he couldn't conquer his demons and stay sober. Rest in peace Cory.
