He was found dead in a hotel in Vancouver. I haven't been keeping up with the recent seasons, but this came as a big shock. RIP.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Very sad. So young. RIP

I was so shocked to hear about this! RIP.

I really don't see how the show can continue after this but I'm sure FOX will find a way. Finn was an integral part of the show and is tied to so many characters.

Will Lea Michele even want to be a part of the show anymore? I can only imagine that it would be so painful after this.

Very sad. I loved watching Finn grow up every season; one of my favourite characters. I love his vocals on 'The Scientist'.

I find it hard to see Lea Michele continuing on with the show. I think she'll complete the upcoming season and call it a day. I can't imagine how you'd cope coming into work everyday and seeing reminders of your deceased partner everywhere. I could never do it.

Yeah, if Monteith had simply died and had no connections beyond friends on the show, I'd say it could work. But the fact that he was Michele's partner (and, according to some reports, fiancé) is difficult. I don't know how anyone could expect her to continue the show.

Such a sad loss.

RosyLily

Fiancé?? Aww God the poor girl!! She'll never get over this tragedy.:(

That may just be a rumour, there is some amount of BS flying around twitter at the moment and some tacky shopped photos. It's really crass and depressing.

Cory was a gentle, sweet soul & I am grateful to have had the chance to play his Mom. My heart is w/ his family, his Glee family & sweet Lea

Harry Shum Jr @iharryshum

At this time, please send nothing but love and light. This tragic news still doesn't seem real to me. I love you Cory.

I cant see how Lea would still want to be on the show, so many memories and Finchel was the main end game couple on the show

He died from a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol according to an initial autopsy report conducted by the British Columbia Coroner's Office

Ryan Murphy spoke to the press today.

They'll film two episodes as planned, then a third episode as a tribute to Cory. It will involve the death of Finn as a character. He confirms this is all with Lea Michele's blessing.

He said that the way they deal with Finn's death may "save the life of someone", so I'm not sure if that's a hint that Finn's death will mirror Cory's death or not but it would seem like that would be spectacularly out of character for Finn.

Lea is planning the funeral

Jane Lynch introducing his Emmy In Memoriam tribute, lots of backlash over it from family and friends of other actors/actresses who died
