General News Cory Monteith found dead in hotel in Canada

They probably will write his death into it. If I recall correctly, the producers of 8 Simple Rules did this and it ended up with a warm, touchy episode. I haven't kept up with Glee but I hope to watch the next few episodes as well as getting up to speed.

 

It was confirmed by autopsy today that he died of a combination of heroin and alcohol.

A flower memorial is accumulating in front of the hotel where he died.

Very sad indeed...

 

I'm honestly saddened especially by which he died.

 

There is a problem. In reading the homepage article, Westboro Baptist plans to be there. I wonder if the funeral is in Canada and if there is anything that differs in Canada which can prevent Westboro from showing up. The grounds on which they feel they need to attend are sickening, as can be expected.

 

When I first heard of Cory Monteith's death, I thought it was one of those hoaxes. It seems like every popular celebrity "dies" at least once every five years. When I learned it was actually true, I was shocked. It is always sad to see a talented young man die. My thoughts are with Cory's friends, family, and cast mates especially Lea Michele. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for her.

I believe that the WBC is banned from entering Canada. At least, I know that they've been banned in the past.

Not only do they plan on protesting the funeral, the church also tweeted the cast members including Lea Michele and told them that Cory is burning in hell and other cruel comments. The WBC aside this is still a horrible situation

 

On what grounds does the WBC want to protest Cory's funeral? Their actions are getting really out of hand now. Can they like burn in hell for their thoughts and actions.

 

Following Christian religion...suicide does lead to hell.

His death is sad, but not tragic. He did that to himself. He overdosed. That's not tragic, it's stupid.

 

its so weird hearing everyone talk about someone who died to shared your first name. all my friends are talking about it. saturday was a mixed bag of a day, with zimmerman getting a get-out-of-jail free card, jk rowling was revealed to have published a new book under a nom de plume, and then Cory was found dead.

I expected it to either be a complication of his past drug abuse, or caused by a relapse into current drug abuse. it is sad no matter what, and in part we need to realize just how much the stimgmatisation of addiction happens in society, that sometimes, we are apt to blame victims of it. the reality is that addiction can and does lead to a point where a person is in far less control than you would think, and heroin is one of the drugs that gets you past that point fairly quick.

 

Is an accidental overdose or drug use a suicide? That's one question. Sometimes, its use doesn't lead to death. And, then, in another instance, it might.

Christian religions do not agree on the quality of the afterlife after a suicide. It's often contingent on the emotional and mental state, and a whole host of things. Their opinions on this topic are as all over the board as the denominations themselves.

 

They are protesting his funeral because they believe that he is a "fag enabler" and he had premarital sex with Lea Michele. This is based on what I read from their twitter page. They may have additional reasons though

EDIT:

According to this article, the coroner report says:

I believe that is the most recent information. The investigation is ongoing
