A decade after his death shocked “Glee” fans, Cory Monteith is still being mourned.
The Canadian actor, who portrayed student athlete turned Glee club member Finn Hudson on the Fox series, was found dead from an overdose in a Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room on July 13, 2013.
He was 31 years old.
It was a stunning end to a meteoric rise for the young star. Monteith initially battled drug addiction in his teens and explained his decision to open up about his struggles during a 2011 interview.
“People have always made a lot of assumptions you know,” he said. “You look, you see this young all-American quarterback look and dude on the show and you just immediately make assumptions, and I think people started really identifying me with those assumptions…and I understand that.
