"Mr. Monteith checked into the hotel on July 6th and was due to check out of the room today," Doug LeParde, Acting Chief of the Vancouver Police, said in a press statement Saturday night. "When he missed his check-out time, staff went to the room at noon and found his body."
LeParde said the cause of Monteith death is still being established but there were no indications of foul play.
"We know there will be considerable interest in this case, and we have detectives assigned to the case who attended with our Forensic Identification Unit to examine the scene, to ensure to the extent possible that there are no unanswered questions," LeParde added. "Hotel video has been secured as well as room access records. Our investigators have spoken with hotel staff, who are providing the utmost in cooperation. An autopsy is schduled for Monday. The Coroner will be determining the next steps with respect to establishing cause of death, but all indications are that there was no foul play."
On March 31, 2013, it was reported that Monteith had voluntarily admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. His treatment was completed on April 26. He had previously received substance abuse treatment over a decade earlier, when he was nineteen.
