Cory Monteith’s cause of death has been confirmed by the autopsy and toxicology test results: he had a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol in his body when he died.
The British Columbia Coroners Service said in a press release: “Post-mortem testing, which included an autopsy and toxicological analysis, found that Mr. Monteith, aged 31, died of a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.”
In the statement, the coroner’s office adds: ““It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most-tragic accident.”
The Canadian actor, who played Finn Hudson in the series, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on Saturday.
