Cory Monteith

The 'Glee' writers have a tough job ahead deciding on how to cover the death of breakout star Cory Monteith, especially since Monteith died suddenly and tragically from a drug overdose. However, his on and offscreen love, Lea Michele, is helping the staff to portray the loss both honestly and sensitively.

While we had known that 'Glee''s upcoming fifth season would address actor Cory Monteith's death and Finn's exit from the series by its third episode, we're now learning that the character's death may not mirror Monteith's real-life overdose. That said, the series will shoot several drug-related public service announcements for the episode, and donate proceeds from the music to a charity for Cory

Lea Michele was seen going about her business this week, making it the first time she's been scoped in public since her boyfriend and 'Glee' co-star, Cory Monteith, died suddenly of an accidental overdose on July 13. We're glad to see the healing process is underway.

The late Cory Monteith will be honored at the upcoming 2013 Emmy Awards.

Lea Michele showed another sign of returning to some sort of normalcy after retreating from the public eye to grieve and mourn the loss of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith. (She needed alone time and we don't blame her.) A few days after tweeting a photo of her late BF and saying he will live in her heart forever, she was spotted in L.A., wearing a necklace with his name on it.

Save for some (understandably) canned statements from her publicist, Lea Michele has been largely quiet since the death of her beloved boyfriend and her 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith.

Not having nearly enough time to grieve the loss of their friend and co-star Cory Monteith, the 'Glee' cast and crew assembled on Thurday (July 25) to honor the actor, who died of an accidental overdose on July 13.

While the world mourns Cory Monteith, 'Glee' fans will also mourn the loss of his character, Finn, on the hit Fox series. Seeing as Finn was a key player in 'Glee' plotlines, what's going to happen to the show in light of Monteith's untimely passing?

When Lea Michele was notified of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith's death last weekend, she reportedly lost her mind. But then again, in such situations, who wouldn't react that way?

A video has surfaced of the late Cory Monteith giving a message to a fan while on a flight to Vancouver -- where he later died of an accidental overdose.
