The Glee cast continues to mourn the loss of Cory Monteith 11 years after his death from a drug overdose. The actor, who died at the age of 31, was known for his role as high school jock and heartthrob Finn Hudson on the show «Glee».
On July 13, 2013, it was reported that the star of the popular teen musical comedy series was found unconscious in a hotel in Vancouver. Cory’s cause of death was drug poisoning from a mix of heroin and alcohol. This, of course, shocked the world, including his then-girlfriend and on-screen partner Lea Michele. «Thank you all for helping me through this time with your immense love and support. Cory will forever be in my heart», - she noted in an Instagram post after his passing. The couple had been dating for a long time, and even a source told People that they were planning to get engaged.
He was very open about his past addiction. At the age of 13, the actor was already surrounded by drugs. Since his first encounter with drugs, he had gone through rehab three times. His mother, Ann McGregor, shared with People: «he was a very vulnerable young man throughout his life… I raised him to be honest and open and raised him with love. But I didn’t teach him about the other side of the world. There is a bad side… He was a very vulnerable young man throughout his life… I raised him to be honest and open and raised him with love. But I didn’t teach him about the other side of the world. There is a bad side».
Cory even spoke about his addiction and told CBC during an interview in 2011: «People always made a lot of assumptions. You see this young American quarterback on the show, and you immediately make assumptions, and I think people really started to identify me with those assumptions created by the press, and I understand that. But at the same time, I felt like I needed to at some point step in and tell people about my experience and tell people the truth about my life and where I come from».
11 years later, the cast, of course, still deeply misses him — along with his late co-star Naya Rivera. Jane Lynch — who played Sue Sylvester — recalled to E! News during the Critics Choice Real TV Awards: «Such youth… They were as excited as we all were. We knew we were breathing rare air when the show became such a big hit»
