Cory Monteith Found Dead

Glee star Cory Monteith found dead in a Vancouver hotel room.

Glee star Cory Monteith was found dead Saturday, E! News has confirmed.

The 31-year-old was staying at the Fairmont Pacific Hotel and missed his check out time. Just after noon, he was found dead and alone in his room on the 21st floor.

According to Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LaPard, there are no indications of foul play and they are not discussing what was found in the room. The cause of death was not immediately apparent.

Monteith checked in July 6 and according to police, he was not staying with his girlfriend,Glee co-star Lea Michele. Michele was last spotted in Mexico on July 9th.

Monteith's family has been informed, according to LaPard, and when the actor was found he had been deceased for several hours.

Vancouver PD reports that a video showed Monteith returning to his hotel room by himself in early morning hours. LaPard explained at a press conference tonight that Monteith's family was just informed of his death about an hour prior, so although authorities wanted to get a statement out right away to confirm his passing to the press, they do not want to give any further details at this time, out of respect for the family.

A rep for Monteith tells E! News: "We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate. We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss."
