The general thought is drug overdose. He just got out of rehab a little while ago. I am very saddened by this. I thought he was very talented, and still so young. His family and friends must be crushed. He was also in a serious relationship with Glee Co-star Leah Michelle. So, so sad.

"Glee" star Cory Monteith was found dead at the Fairmount Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver.

Vancouver police confirmed Saturday night at a press conference that the 31-year-old actor's body was found just after noon on Saturday.

Police responded within minutes of receiving a call from the BC Ambulance Service regarding a sudden death in a room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel at 1038 Canada Place in downtown Vancouver.

Upon arriving at the scene, paramedics advised the officers that Monteith was dead. Coroner's staff was also on the scene.

Officials said no cause of death was apparent at this time, but that Monteith had been dead for several hours before his body was discovered.

According to the police statement, Monteith checked into the hotel on Saturday, July 6 and was due to check out of the room on Saturday. Monteith had guests in his room on Friday night, but video and key entry records show him returning to his room by himself in the early morning hours when police believe he was alone when he died.

Hotel staff discovered his body when they went to check his room after he missed check-out.

Police officials have detectives assigned to the case who attended with the Forensic Identification Unit to examine the scene to continue investigating the death.

The police investigators have secured hotel video and room access records. They have spoken with hotel staff, who police say are providing their utmost cooperation.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. The Coroner will be determining the next steps with respect to establishing cause of death, but all indications are that there was no foul play.
