Vancouver police confirmed Saturday night that Glee star Cory Monteith, a longtime resident of the city, was found dead shortly after noon at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel.
The actor checked in on July 6 and was slated to check out on Saturday. Police learned that others were in the room with Monteith on Friday night. But he was alone in the room later into the evening.
Hotel staff went to his room after the check-out time was missed.
While the cause of death wasn’t immediately apparent, explained Acting Police Chief Doug Lepard and Coroner Lisa Lapointe, there was no sign of foul play.
Vancouver police held a 10:30 p.m. PT news conference in the effort to accommodate the certain level of media interest in the story.
But police also explained that some details weren’t being disclosed because the family had just been informed of the death about an hour earlier.
