Glee Actor Corey Monteith Died Of Heroin Overdose And Alcohol Poisoning

Another Corey Has Died...

Corey Monteith

On July 13, 2013 "Glee" television star Corey Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room. Yesterday it was announced the actor died of a heroin overdose and alcohol poisoning. He was 31, which is way too young to die, but in Hollywood so many are passing away from drug abuse, alcohol poisoning, reckless car accidents and suicide.

Monteith battled drug addiction for years, as he began using illegal narcotics at age 13. He entered rehab at age 19, but a decade later when he was thrust into the spotlight, as a star of "Glee" being in that Hollywood environment with drugs in abundant supply proved too much for him. His addictions returned full throttle.

Drugs and alcohol don’t discriminate. They can claim any life at any time. People with addictions need to keep this fact in perspective and realize their next time getting high and or drunk may be their last. Fight for your sobriety.
