A video of Cory Monteith giving a video message to a fan on a phone has emerged, following the death of the Glee star.
Taken aboard a plane from Japan to Vancouver, Monteith apparently obliged a favour for a flight attendant named Sheila asking him to record a quick video for her boyfriend’s daughter Mallory.
In the video, the 31-year-old said: “Hi Malorie, I’m Cory – I’m Sheila’s friend.
“I just wanted to record this video for you guys to let you know to stay out of trouble and stay in school.”
Just days later he was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver. Despite his warning, initial investigations indicate that a combination of heroin and alcohol lead to his death.
Meanwhile Jane Lynch told Jay Leno, “Cory’s one of the biggest hearts, a real bright light.”
“He knew he was breathing rarefied air with the gifts that this show gave us. He was always aware that it was a gift, and he was quite generous and one of those adventurous type people.”
“I don’t think he left one day unlived,” she added. “He was a real bright light in our family. We lost a really great guy.”

@Mac – what a narrow-minded view. Clearly you’ve never fought an addiction of your own.
@Mac: Once the addiction has set in, the choice is no longer to continue it, but to give it up. That choice is an immensely difficult one to make.
Having had a close family member go through similar problems with alcohol and drugs, I feel immensely sorry for Cory. The addiction only wins when a person loses hope in themselves and the world around them, which is a truly horrible place to be.
@NicH : It starts with a choice. I’ve lived around several addicts and recognise it’s a choice to start, it’s a choice each day to concede to the addiction, and it’s a choice whether “today” is the day it stops, or whether today is just another day it continues. An over simplification, perhaps, but it is a series of choices that can lead to this outcome. Once again, my sincere sympathies go out to those who were affected by his passing.
To over-simplify addiction means we run the risk of never understanding nor help those who are victims.
@Mac, I’m no doctor, but addiction is not a choice.
Too sad.
At risk of leaving myself open to rampant criticism with an unpopular opinion, I struggle to have any sympathy for any person who continues to choose each day not to ditch addiction. It was a young life gone too soon but he was the one who chose to abuse those substances so he chose his own path. My sympathies are for the people around him, not for Monteith himself.
