HOMICIDE IS RULED OUT

The coroner’s report put an end to the suspicion that Cory Monteith’s death could have been a homicide. In fact, everything points to an overdose, as the star had residue of heroin and alcohol in his system, so the case was closed.

However, this revelation has caused more sadness among the actor’s fans as it has been reported that when the police arrived at the scene, he had already been dead for several hours — a fact that his fans found especially upsetting.
