ALAN RICKMAN – PANCREATIC CANCER

Cory Monteith is one of those young stars who died too soon because of substance dependence. Monteith was at the peak of his career after he landed the lead role in the hit television series Glee. He had several minor characters on TV before his audition tape singing Can’t Fight This Feeling, and then he was given a role in the musical comedy series. His role in Glee opened up many opportunities for him, including the movie Monte Carlo and Sisters and Brothers.

This led him to have a huge personality and name in showbiz. Behind the scenes, however, Monteith struggled with substance and alcohol intake. He was even brought in and out of rehab several times at the age of 19. He passed away on July 13, 2013, due to an overdose of alcohol and heroin. After his death, a defense lawyer said the police could still pursue the dealer that provided Monteith with the substance and they could file charges
