It is a tragedy that also shocks followers in the present day.
Ten years in the past, on July 13, 2013, Glee‘s breakout star Cory Monteith was discovered unresponsive on the Fairmont Pacific Lodge in Vancouver. His reason for demise was later revealed to be from blended drug toxicity, with heroin and alcohol present in his system. He was 31 years outdated.
Only one month after his premature passing, the Fox hit filmed a tribute episode title “The Quarterback,” which finally aired in October of that 12 months.
“It is an episode I used to be capable of watch as soon as,” creator Ryan Murphy stated, noting that after Monteith’s demise a way of pleasure had vanished from Glee‘s set. “And I by no means checked out it once more.”
Lea Michele—Monteith’s girlfriend on the time of his demise—understands that ache. In truth, she’s by no means seen the episode. “I suppose if I do not watch it,” she beforehand shared, “it simply sort of seems like Finn continues to be there.”
