Autopsy Results For Cory Monteith: An Overdose Of Alcohol And Heroin

Sadly, the BC coroner confirmed what many had already guessed about the cause of the actor's sudden death. Monteith, who had had a long and troubled history with drugs as a teenager, had been to rehab again this spring. But upon leaving he had seemed healthy and upbeat, which is why the news is so shocking to the Glee community.

Here's a CBC Studio Q interview with Monteith from 2009 not long after the pilot aired that May, when he was just breaking out. His joy and enthusiasm are palpable.
