UPDATE: ‘Glee’ Star Found Dead In Canada Hotel; ‘Heroin & Alcohol’ A Factor
UPDATE: From MTV, where you can read more of the story…
Cory Monteith died of “a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol,” the British Columbia Coroners Service announced late Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the coroner’s office had revealed that the initial autopsy of the 31-year-old actor was inconclusive, and had ordered toxicology tests to pinpoint the actor’s cause of death.
In their announcement of Monteith’s cause of death, the Coroners Service added that their investigation into the case was continuing, but added that “there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most-tragic accident.”

CNN reports:
Cory Monteith, who played heart throb Finn Hudson in the Fox hit “Glee,” was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room Saturday, Vancouver police said. He was 31.
Police said the cause of death was not immediately apparent, but they ruled out foul play.
Monteith 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.
In 2011, he won a Teen Choice award for top actor in a comedy. The show’s cast won a Screen Actors Guild award for an ensemble in a comedy the prior year.

Lady Gaga Announces ‘ARTPOP’ Release Date
From MTV:
The ARTPOP revolution finally has a start date. After more than a year of teasing her third full-length studio album, Lady Gaga announced on Thursday that her latest musical menagerie will be released on November 11.
In a florid Facebook post full of fantastical, arty language, Gaga also promised an as-yet-unnamed single on August 19 and an accompanying app that she said will bring, “ARTculture into Pop in a reverse Warholian expedition.”
The post explained that the app was built by TechHaus, a technology-focused offshoot of her Haus of Gaga creative team. “The app itself is a musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion and technology with a new interactive worldwide community — ‘the auras.’ Altering the human experience with social media, we bring ARTculture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition.”
The album (and app) will be available for pre-order on September 1. While details about the music have been few and far between, Gaga opened a small window into what fans can expect in the post. “The album ARTPOP musically mirrors Gaga’s creative process as she passes through the mediums of each artist she collaborates with, scoring a blueprint of her journey,” it reads, without mentioning anyone by name.
