Any Gleeks?

Sad news today about Glee cast member Cory Monteith. Found dead in his hotel room, only 31 years old. His struggles with addiction were well know, and for now it appears they may have done him in. Rest in peace, sir. Your character touched millions of lives.

I wonder if Glee will address substance abuse and addition at all in the next season ... hard to do tastefully, but it seems more important now.

This has really made me sad today. I haven't watched Glee in a year or more, but seeing someone with such a bright future leave this world so young... just makes me sad.
I have said a prayer for Cory's family as well as Glee cast-mate Lea Michelle, since they had been dating.

I saw this early this morning and was quite surprised and saddened by it. I've never kept up with his personal life, so I wasn't aware of his substance abuse. Its hard to see anyone, but young people in particular, struggle with their demons. Even sadder to hear of someone so young losing their life. Hopefully he has found some peace now.

My sister and I were chatting about this earlier and both agreed that we didn't like the character he portrayed while in highschool, but we really took a liking to him in this past season. He'll definitely be missed.

Pretty much one of my favorite actors and characters on the show, so this is devastating news.

Really thinking about the cast, especially Lea in this awful time. As much as his fans are grieving, I can't imagine how his friends and loved ones are feeling.

One sad Gleek here.

Addiction is so difficult for some to combat, and it is tragic. They have released the news that it was a combination of alcohol and heroin that killed him, and that it was likely an accidental death.

There will be some who will say, "He was young, successful, and handsome, why do drugs .." but by his own admission, he had been battling addiction since he was a teenager. You know his early life was not all rosy, and he started taking drugs at age 13. I do hope someone out there earns something from all this.

My church houses many recovery groups, AA, NA and many others, and while that is not the answer for everyone, the members tell us all the time how it has saved their lives.

"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."
