A little over an hour ago, the news of an actor's death began circulating on twitter. Actor of Glee fame, Cory Monteith. Before it had been verified, I kept on saying to myself, "No, this isn't true. It's one of those celebrity death hoaxs." But then...it was verified, and I was overwhelmed with deep sadness. I am crying, and I am not ashamed of it. I have been a Gleek since the beginning, and a fan of Cory's as well. It's just so hard to believe that he is gone. It's absolutely heartbreaking, and I'm not sure what to make of it. It will be a weird experience watching Glee from now on...
He was found in his hotel room in Vancouver after not checking out; employes went to check his room. He was found there, alone, and had been deceased for what seemed a few hours. An autopsy will be given tomorrow, but full details (like tests for drugs, etc) will not be available for a week or so. He was 31 years old.
I want to send my thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, castmates, and girlfriend, Lea Michele. I can't imagine what they are going through right now. I can't....
I really don't know what to think. This is the first time I have cried over a celebrity's death. It's just...so shocking. But again, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and castmates. Stay strong everyone. <3

The autopsy results were released today, and it just makes Cory's death even more tragic. The coroner's report states that Cory died due to drug toxicity between heroine and alcohol.
Addiction is a tricky and manipulative disease. It is hard to overcome (and I read that heroine addicts have an 8% survival rate/chance of overcoming addiction), and unfortunately, his disease got the best of him. Although this information is troubling for a man who was trying to cure himself, get better, and move forward in life, we must remember him as that. Not an addict. But a genuine, kind, passionate, empathetic man. Remember him as Finn Hudson, footballer and New Directioner. Remember him as a man who is was in love with a woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Remember him as tall, awkward, canadian, actor, drummer, person. Remember him as Frankenteen. Remember him as Cory Monteith.
