    Glee star Cory Monteith has been found dead in a hotel in Vancouver, Canada.

    "We are so saddened to confirm that the reports on the death of Cory Monteith are accurate," the star's publicist Melissa Kates said. "We are in shock and mourning this tragic loss."

    Meanwhile, Glee's executive producers, 20th Century Fox and Fox Broadcasting Company, said: "We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person.

    "He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones."

    Monteith has previously discussed his issues with drug abuse and as recently as April this year was treated for drug addiction.

    He had been dating his Glee co-star Lea Michele, who played Rachel Berry in the musical show set in an American school.

    Pacific Rim Hotel staff discovered his body in his room when he failed to check out at the appointed time on Saturday morning.

    Local Deputy Police Chief Doug Lepard said that the star had returned to his room alone after dining with friends the previous evening.

    Coroner Lisa Lapointe stated: "We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death."

    Glee actor Matthew Morrison recently admitted that he "didn't even know" Monteith had a substance addiction before he entered rehab.

    Glee will return for its fifth season a week later than planned following the death of the hit TV show's star Cory Monteith.

    The Fox network and Glee producers said that "in light of the tragic passing" of the 31-year-old actor, who played played high school quarterback and glee club member Finn Hudson, the decision was made to delay production until early August.

    The show's autumn return, scheduled for September 19, has been moved to September 26.

    Monteith's body was found last weekend in a hotel room in Vancouver, British Columbia, and tests showed he died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol.

    He had been candid about his struggles with addiction, which included a rehab stint several months before his death.

    Fox and Glee producers have not publicly discussed how the show will deal with the loss of Monteith and his character, or if a decision has yet been made on how to proceed.

    In the series, Finn Hudson had graduated and moved on to college, but remained part of the show as an adviser to his old club.

    Finn also had an off-and-on romance with fellow student and singer Rachel, played by Monteith's real-life girlfriend Lea Michele.

    A Fox release that preceded Monteith's death offered plot highlights of the coming season, including whether Rachel would find success on Broadway and whether the characters of Blaine and Kurt (Darren Criss and Chris Colfer) would marry.

    There was no mention of what was in store for Finn.

    Mark Salling found dead, aged 35

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42880924

    US actor Mark Salling, known for his role in the TV series Glee, has been found dead near his Los Angeles home, his lawyer confirmed to the BBC.

    US media reports suggest he may have taken his own life.

    The 35-year-old was expected to get between four and seven years in prison after pleading guilty to possessing child sex abuse images. His sentencing was due on 7 March.

    Salling played footballer Noah "Puck" Puckerman on Glee from 2009 to 2015.

    He entered into a plea deal last October, avoiding a lengthier prison sentence of up to 20 years.

    He was arrested in 2015 after a tip-off that he was in possession of images of children being sexually abused.

    Investigators ultimately found thousands of abuse images on his laptop and hard drive.

    Salling's lawyer, Michael J Proctor, said in a statement: "I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning. Mark was a gentle and loving person, a person of great creativity, who was doing his best to atone for some serious mistakes and errors of judgement.

    "He is survived by his mother and father, and his brother. The Salling family appreciates the support they have been receiving and asks for their privacy to be respected."
