Police said Monteith was with other
people Friday night. An examination of hotel video footage showed him returning
to his room alone early Saturday morning. Police believe he was alone when he
died. No cause of death was given and no foul play is suspected, police said.
Police are questioning the people he was with Friday night.
In March, Monteith voluntarily
checked himself into rehab for substance abuse. He previously checked into
rehab when he was 19. It was unclear why the British Columbia-native had
checked into the Vancouver hotel.
Family, Vancouver police said, have
just been informed. He had been deceased for several hours when his body had
been discovered.
Monteith has played Finn Hudson,
the lovable boy-nextdoor on Glee since it debuted in 2009. He also has a role
in the upcoming indie All the Wrong Reasons.
