's presentation at San Diego Comic Con International next week may take on a decidedly more somber tone, if indeed they decide to have one, after series star Cory Monteith was found dead at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel Saturday, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed with local police. He was 31. The actor, who has struggled with substance abuse issues, was found dead by hotel staff after he missed his checkout time earlier today. No foul play is suspected and no further details were available at the time of THR's story. The actor was found at noon today on the hotel's 21st floor, Vancouver police said in a news conference. He checked into the hotel on July 6, and was expected to check out today. In addition to annual trips to Comic-Con, the Glee cast were recently featured in a crossover comic book with Archie and the Riverdale gang. Montieth also once guest-starred in an episode of Smallville.
