RIP Cory Monteith

[babydee1]

Glee star Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) has been found dead in his Vancouver hotel room, confirmed by the Vancouver police and several news websites.  More information and messages from the Glee cast & crew can be found on ontd_glee

Cause of death is not yet confirmed, but he apparently died alone and foul play is not suspected.

He was 31 years old.

Heartbreaking news indeed.  My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

This is absolutely heartbreaking, he was so young and had so much to look forward to. Poor Lea, I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through. Now she is do back soon to being shooting Glee. I don't know how she's going to handle that.

It looks like the press have allowed her to grieve in private, which is one small thing to be grateful for. It'll be extremely difficult for her to return to work on the Glee set; for all of them, to be honest.

I know his death will have to be addressed on the show as soon as production begins, and I hope they do so honorably. Unfortunately, Ryan Murphy is known for pilfering plot points from the real lives of his cast members, so I really hope he doesn't doesn't exploit their grief or Cory's struggles with addiction to get ratings for his show. That would be horribly disrespectful, and downright despicable.
