Cory Monteith, who played Finn Hudson in the Fox hit "Glee," was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room, British Columbia police said late Saturday.
Monteith, 31, spent time in rehab early this year, checking into a drug addiction treatment facility in April.
He had been frank about his struggles with substance abuse, telling Parade magazine in 2011 that he began using drugs at 13, and by 19 went into rehab after his mother and friends intervened.
Monteith had been on the musical comedy show since it began in 2009.
The cause of death was not immediately apparent, police said, but they ruled out foul play.
