Canadian actor Cory Monteith who played Finn Hudson in the Fox TV hit Glee, has been found dead at a hotel in Vancouver,Canada. The cause of death was not immediately apparent, but police have ruled out foul play.
Sources revealed that paramedics responding to an emergency call found Monteith, 31, dead at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in the city centre, Vancouver. According to BBC:
Monteith had checked into the hotel on 6 July, and was due to check out on Saturday, LePard told reporters. Others were in the hotel room with Monteith on Friday night, but evidence including his fob key entries indicate he returned to his room by himself early on Saturday and was alone when he died, police said.
Monteith starred in Glee as a high school football player who puts his status and popularity at risk to join the glee club and its outcast members.
The show, with its pop music-based song-and-dance numbers and high-profile guest stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, became an immediate hit and made stars of its relatively unknown cast.
