celebrity deaths

After a private hospital viewing attended by his family members and girlfriend / co-star, Lea Michele, 'Glee' actor Cory Monteith's body was cremated in Vancouver, Canada, where he died of a drug and alcohol overdose last weekend.

Jane Lynch was talking to Jay Leno last night (July 17) on 'The Tonight Show' when talk turned to her deceased 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith, who passed away on July 13 due to an accidental drug overdose.

The cause of Cory Monteith's death, who's body was found in a Vancouver hotel last weekend, (July 13th) has been revealed.  The coroner announced, Monteith died from a mixture of heroin and alcohol. The investigation will continue and the coroner's office won't comment again until it's complete.

The whole world was shocked when 'Glee' star Cory Monteith died from a lethal cocktail of heroin and alcohol this weekend, but no one more than his on-and-offscreen love, Lea Michele. The actress finally had her rep release a statement, and it's understandable why she'd have waited: she's absolutely, and predictably, devastated.
