Glee is an american TV serie, transmited by FOX channel since 2009. It's a serial about reject people, like nerds or geeks, etc.
Cory Monteith was one of the actors who performs a character in Glee, exactly the Finn Hudson role; but, on july of this year, Cory Monteith was found dead for unknown reasons. 
Finally, three months later, the Birtish Columbia coroners discover why Cory Monteith get died.
The final report said that "Monteith died from using intravenous heroin combined with alcohol", but the coroner Claire Thompson classified it as an accident. "He was found in a collapsed position".
The investigation bring that Cory had a illicits drug's record, and intermittent periods of rehab; doctors said "when people who have refrained from using opiates such as heroin for a while, their tolerance for the drug decreases", probably this could be the principal reason of the death.
Months ago, Cory had talked about the addiction being a teenager, calling it as "a serious problem", because he was using marijuana and alcohol from 13 years, until 16. He said he was "lucky to be alive". In april of this year, Cory Montheith decided to get a tratment facility for substance addiction.
