Posted: 7/14/13 at 1:53amAny death is sad indeed. And as said previously, no parent should have to bury their child, especially under such conditions. My heart goes out to everyone who knew him. Such a sad day for many.

Posted: 7/14/13 at 1:55amMy heart is broken. You know when you watch a show for 4 seasons and you really get involved in it, something like this is devastating. I am so sad for him and his family and friends. God rest his soul.

Posted: 7/14/13 at 2:00amWow this is very shocking. I feel less sympathy than I do frustration - a needless death caused by poor decision making. Hopefully this will be a lesson to others.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)

Posted: 7/14/13 at 2:03amI feel so bad for his friends and family, and of course the cast of Glee. He was starting to turn his life around and seek help. His family is in my prayers...

Posted: 7/14/13 at 2:04amSeriously devastating. He was great in the show and the work he'd done in his career prior to GLEE. Rest in Peace, Corey.

Posted: 7/14/13 at 2:18amNo matter how many times this happens -- from Elvis to Marilyn to Cobain to Heath Ledger to Amy Winehouse to Whitney Houston -- this still shocks me every time. I was completely unaware of Cory's struggles with addiction, so this news caughte completely off guard. Wow.

I don't know, but I hope it pulls Ryan Murphy's head back into the show. The situation deserves more than a group cry and then move on with the show.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

What a shame. Thank God Broadway doesn't go in for booze and dope the way Hollywood does.
Rest in Peace.

"Addiction is more complex than the simple matter of "poor decision making".
By no means I'm suggesting he simply made a single wrong choice - it is a complex process and there are many other factors involved, some of which may be out of his control. I just hope that his death actually sparks something more than sympathy and RIPs because it is something that was completely preventable and is going to happen again and again.

Losing a child, is losing a child. To the parents, the cause is immaterial.
Peace to his family and loved ones.

He had addiction issues long before his acting career even started.
Regardless. rest in peace to one of the most humble and talented actors on TV.

Posted: 7/14/13 at 5:35am^^Doubtful that they won't, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them dedicated their performance to him tonight.

Just for the record, there has been absolutely no announcement or confirmation of a drug overdose. The only facts thus far are the police reports stating that he was found deceased in his hotel room, that there was "no foul play suspected," and that cause of death is "not immediately apparent." An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
No matter how tempting (or possibly accurate), speculation is not fact.
