Monteith died due to mixed drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol, the British Columbia Coroners Service concluded after an autopsy.

Monteith, who had struggled with substance abuse, entered rehab earlier this year.

The actor died in his hotel room July 13 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. He was 31.
