His death was confirmed by various sources on Saturday night, and Vancouver police announced the information just past 10 p.m. this evening.
The news was first reported by Canadian outlet CTV. Police say there is no indication of foul play.
Fox issued a statement shortly after his death was announced:
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.”Monteith was best known for his role as Finn on the Fox musical dramedy and was set to have a role in season 5 which kicks off this September.
His real life girlfriend Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry, shared a photo of the cast including Monteith during a photoshoot just two weeks ago.
The actor had struggled with substance abuse in recent years. His troubles occurred again in early 2013 which led Monteith to take a leave of absence from Glee season 4. He had recovered and was ready to shoot season 5.
