Glee star Cory Monteith dies in Canada hotel

Glee star Cory Monteith has been found dead in a Vancouver hotel, police say.

The 31-year-old, who played Finn Hudson in the Fox TV hit, was found dead at the Pacific Rim Hotel in the city centre, said Vancouver police.The cause of death was not immediately apparent, police say, but foul play has been ruled out.

Monteith, who had been in the musical comedy since its 2009 start, was treated for drug addiction in April, and had a history of substance-abuse.

His body was found by Pacific Rim staff after he missed his check-out time, said Vancouver's Deputy Police Chief Doug Lepard.

Coroner Lisa Lapointe said: "We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death."

No, not cuz he was gay, he apparently wasn't.

But so many who suffer depression are bullied by the "snap out of it" crowd, the c'mon, get happy, quit being a letdown, "you're just feeling sorry for yourself, get over it, ya selfish asshole" crowd.

RIP.
