Cory Monteith Cause of Death: Heroin & Alcohol Overdose

An autopsy conducted by medical examiners in Canada shows that Cory Monteith died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol, reports say. The British Columbia Coroners Service says an autopsy and toxicological analysis show a "mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol" took his life.

Staff members at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver, B.C., discovered the 31-year-old Glee star’s body in the early hours of July 13. He had completed a stint in rehab earlier this year and recently admitted that he began struggling with drugs and alcohol as a young teenager.

Reports say he had been leading a double life of sorts, staying focused and sober at work while falling back into old habits back in Canada.
