Police close case on Cory Monteith's death
Police in Canada have closed their investigation into Cory Monteith's death after questioning the friends who were with the Glee star in the hours before the tragedy.
The actor's body was found in his room the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver on Saturday (13Jul13) and a coroner's report has revealed he died after taking a lethal mix of heroin and alcohol.
Monteith enjoyed a night out with pals before he returned to the
hotel alone in the hours before his death, and police officials
have now confirmed they interviewed everyone involved, but have
decided against pursuing the probe any further.
Vancouver police Constable Brian Montague says, "We spoke with all
three of them (Monteith's friends) and they were all very
co-operative. Unless new information comes to light, we won't be
proceeding further... There's no law in Canada where we can request
charges against someone who's provided drugs to an individual.
There's an inherent risk when you're using illicit drugs and
there's nothing legally in this situation that we can see that
would cause us to pursue the investigation further."
Fans of the tragic star will hold a candlelit vigil outside the
Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel on Friday (19Jul13). A similar event
took place in Los Angeles at Paramount Studios, where Glee is
filmed, earlier in the week (beg15Jul13).
