Coroner: Mix of heroin and alcohol killed 'Glee' star By CNN Staff updated 5:43 PM EDT, Tue July 16, 2013
STORY HIGHLIGHTS Death was nothing more "than a most-tragic accident," coroner says Monteith was found dead Saturday in a Vancouver hotel room The actor, 31, had been on the hit Fox series since it premiered in 2009 He spent time in rehab this year for substance abuse
(CNN) -- "Glee" star Cory Monteith died as a result of "a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," the British Columbia Coroners Service said Tuesday. "At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," the coroners service said in a statement, adding that no further details were available pending a full investigation. Monteith, 31, was found dead Saturday in his room by staff members at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel after he missed his checkout time. The actor spent time in rehab this year, checking into a drug addiction treatment facility in late March. Addiction: The disease that lies How will Monteith's death affect 'Glee?' Celebrity substance abuse confessions Photos: TV shows that have lost stars Photos: People we lost in 2013 Monteith had been frank about his struggles with substance abuse, telling Parade magazine in 2011 that he began using drugs at 13 and by 19 went into rehab after his mother and friends intervened. Monteith had been on Fox's hit musical comedy show since it began in 2009, playing the dim quarterback of the football team who is forced to join the glee club. After graduation, he comes back to town and helps direct a musical at the school. How will 'Glee' handle the death of Cory Monteith? Adam Shankman, who directed an episode for each of the past three seasons, told CNN's Poppy Harlow that he had talked to Monteith on Saturday morning. The actor said he wanted to come down to California to Jet Ski. Shankman described Monteith as the glue of "Glee." He was always welcoming, whether it was to a guest director or a new cast member, Shankman said. The actor knew all of his lines when filming began each time and would congratulate his fellow cast members when he thought they did well. "He showed up every day, and he was a delight," Shankman said. Offscreen, Monteith was dating co-star and on-screen love interest Lea Michele.

Reps for the actress, who publicly voiced support for Monteith during his stay in rehab, asked Sunday "that everyone kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time." People we lost in 2013 CNN's Steve Almasy and Amanda Watts contributed to this report.

And guess which one society is going to blame more for his death out of the 2 . In fact chances are society will only see his death as being caused only by one drug, ignoring the second drug because everyone consumes it so it must be safe .
More than likely another Amy Winehouse; how many people alive today believe she died of a cocaine overdose eventhough her death was caused solely by alcohol poisoning

Ummm....most drinkers don't just stop breathing. It's clear that heroin played the MUCH larger role in this.

Either it was a combination of both drugs in excessive doses or the guy was an over eager noob. I'm gonna go with the former.

Death from asphyxiation can happen on alcohol alone.

Most "Heroin overdoses" are fatal incidents from drug combinations. Attributing the death to one drug over another is ignoring pharmacology.

Heroin kills. Alcohol kills. Anyone using both have fun, the consequences are your own to deal with.

1. Mixing alcohol with most other depressants may well = 2. Blackmarket heroin = unknown purity/dosage 3. If the guy was just in rehab, his tolerance may have dropped considerably
Either way, this is stuff he should have known.
