Canadian actor Cory Monteith, heart throb of Fox's musical-comedy television series Glee, has been found dead at a hotel in Vancouver,Canada, police said.
There were no signs of foul play, they said, and the cause of death was not immediately apparent.
Monteith had checked into the hotel on 6 July, and was due to check out on Saturday, LePard told reporters. Others were in the hotel room with Monteith on Friday night, but evidence including his fob key entries indicate he returned to his room by himself early on Saturday and was alone when he died, police said.
Monteith was born in Calgary, Alberta, and moved to Vancouver Island as a child.
His TV credits included roles on the series Kaya and Kyle XY. His film credits included Final Destination 3, The Invisible, Deck the Halls and Whisper.
An autopsy was set for Monday, LePard said.
