FoxNews reports that Canadian actor Cory Monteith, best known as one of the stars of the Fox television show "Glee," was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room Saturday afternoon. He was 31.



Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard confirmed that Monteith's body was found in the room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel shortly after noon local time. LePard said that Monteith had checked into the hotel July 6 and was due to check out Saturday. Staff went to Monteith's room when they realized that he had missed his check-out time.

Monteith, who played Finn Hudson on "Glee," had voluntarily entered rehab for substance abuse problems in April, and had asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, according to a representative at the time.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, but LePard said that all indications are that there was no foul play.
