The parents died 12 years after Cory Monteith’s death. The “Glee” star was found dead in Vancouver in March 2013, aged 31, after a heroin and alcohol overdose.
Cory Monteith’s parents passed away just 37 days apart.
Ann McGregor, Cory’s mother, died on June 18, 2025, aged 74, at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, Canada, due to illness.
His father, Joe Monteith, died on May 12, 2025, aged 75, in a palliative care unit after a long hospital stay.
They had been divorced since he was a child. Cory Monteith had not seen his father for 11 years when the actor died. Joe said at the time that his son’s death was “tearing me apart inside and destroying me.”
“My world simply stopped. And I am a different person than I was before,” Ann McGregor said in a 2018 interview with People magazine.
She also said drugs were her son’s way of coping with the Hollywood world.
Cory Monteith was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver after a long battle with substance addiction. He had undergone rehabilitation treatment for several months.
