By now, if you didn’t know that the actor who played Finn on Glee was named Cory Monteith, you do now. His name has been featured on nearly every headline since his untimely death earlier this week. Now that we’ve been made aware the cause of death, everyone has been asking the same question; how has fiancé Lea Michele been taking the news?
Perez Hilton reported that minutes before Cory’s death leaked to the media, Lea Michele got the phone call that her husband-to-be had passed away. A source close to Michele told Perez Hilton that Lea Michele “lost her mind.”
She went crazy, screaming and crying until 3 a.m… Lea has been inconsolable and feels like she's been hit by a truck. She didn't know he'd started using again."
USA Today reported that Monteith died July 13th due to a deadly mix of heroin and alcohol. He was found dead at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver by staff members after he didn’t check out on time. Fans decorated the entrance to the hotel with flowers and notes to Monteith.
