Cory Monteith, famous for playing the role of Finn Hudson in popular TV series Glee, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on Saturday. 

Police ruled out foul play as a cause of death, and confirmed that medical examiners will conduct an autopsy on Monday.

Canadian actor Monteith was discovered by staff members after he missed his checkout time on Saturday, July 13th. He had checked in to the hotel on July 6th.

Monteith, who has been dating co-star Lea Michele, spent time in rehab earlier this year, checking in to a drug addiction facility back in March.

He had previously opened up in interviews about his struggles with substance abuse, admitting that he began using drugs at the tender age of 13.
