goose Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Monteith spent time in rehab this year, checking into a drug addiction treatment facility in late March.He 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."I had several interactions with him yesterday where he said that he was doing amazing," Shankman said. "He even said I am feeling fantastic. I'm like everybody else, really devastated and confused by what happened." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I read about this. I think he was also quoted as saying about two years ago: "I'm lucky to be alive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindrift82 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I had a best friend from middle school who recently overdosed on heroin. He was also 31. Drugs are really, really bad. I've always avoided them, because I never wanted to die an early death. Coffee is the worst drug I do. Anyway, RIP. My sister loves Glee. I don't care for it, but sad news anyway.

librarian Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Don't people ever learn? Heroin - not your friend - yet people keep doing it. Stupid! RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You live by the drug, you die by the drug. Tragic, but absolutely 100% avoidable. When will people learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I will admit, I really enjoyed the first six episodes of Glee after which it became hit-and-miss, imo. I dropped it from TiVo after Finn, Rachael, Santana and Quinn graduated. The show had a quirkiness that really worked at times and really didn't at other times. I also enjoy pop music, despite my "rocker chick" reputation with my friends. I was very sad to hear about Cory's death. So young and so much wasted talent. :( Sadly, when drugs are involved, the inevitable result is jail, institutions and death. My heart goes out to Cory's family, friends and to the many fans he had. RIP Cory. I hope your family and friends can find peace with your untimely passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britney's stuff kills me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
