Cory Monteith Died From Mix Of Heroin & Alcohol

Cory Monteith — Died From Heroin & Alcohol

Cory, 31, died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol, Canadian authorities tell TMZ. The British Columbia Coroners Service says an autopsy and toxicological analysis show the actor died on from a “mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.”

The Vancouver police staged a press conference, and Cst. Brian Montague said the following:

This was an overdose and a tragic accident..

The police investigation has now been concluded, unless new evidence is received.

He was alone at the time of his death. There were three people with him [earlier that night], we spoke with them all and they were co-operative. It is not relevant to a police investigation.

There was no evidence to suggest anything out of the ordinary. There was no sign of a struggle or a robbery. Evidence was consistent with a drug overdose. Foul play was not involved.

He was last seen after two in the morning, and he was found at noon. We believe he was dead for several hours before he was found.

This is truly devastating news. It had been reported that alcohol and drugs were found in the hotel room he died in.
