Lethal Mix of Heroin and Alcohol Blamed for TV Star's Death
 

電視明星之死歸咎於海洛英與酒精的致命混合結果

Glee star Cory Monteith died as a result of "a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," the British Columbia Coroners Service said Tuesday.
  《歡樂合唱團》明星柯瑞.蒙提斯死於「海洛英與酒精的混合藥物中毒」,英屬哥倫比亞法醫處於週二表示。
"At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most tragic accident," the coroners service said in a statement, adding that no further details were available pending a full investigation.
  「目前的證據顯示,蒙提斯先生的死亡全然是一項極為不幸的意外,」法醫處在一份聲明中表示,接著又指出,在進行完整調查之前,將不會有進一步的細節。
Monteith, 31, was found dead Saturday in his room by staff members at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel after he missed his checkout time.
  三十一歲的蒙提斯當時住在溫哥華的費爾蒙環太平洋飯店,因為錯過了退房時間,週六被飯店員工發現死在他的房間裡。
The actor spent time in rehab this year, checking into a drug addiction treatment facility in late March.
  這名演員今年曾接受戒毒治療,在三月底時住進一家毒癮治療機構。
Monteith had been frank about his struggles with substance abuse, telling Parade magazine in 2011 that he had begun using drugs at 13 and by 19 went into rehab after his mother and friends intervened.
  蒙提斯坦誠自己有藥物濫用的問題,二0一一年他向《漫步》雜誌表示自己十三歲開始吸毒,到了十九歲因母親與朋友出面干涉接受了戒毒治療。
Monteith had been on Fox's hit musical comedy show since it began in 2009, playing the dim quarterback of the football team who is forced to join the glee club.
After graduation, he comes back to town to help direct a musical at the school.
  自從這部福斯頻道的熱門音樂喜劇節目在二00九年開播以來,蒙提斯即是節目裡的一員,飾演美式足球隊上一個頭腦遲鈍的四分衛,被迫加入歡樂合唱團。畢業之後,他回到鎮上,在學校協助導演了一齣音樂劇。
Adam Shankman, who directed an episode for each of the past three seasons, described Monteith as the glue of Glee.
He was always welcoming, whether it was to a guest director or a new cast member, Shankman said.
  過去三季都各執導過一集節目的亞當.謝克曼把蒙提斯描述為《歡樂合唱團》的黏著劑。他總是熱情歡迎別人的加入,不論是對客席導演還是新加入劇組的演員,謝克曼說。
"He showed up every day, and he was a delight," Shankman said.
  「他每天都會到場,而且他是個開心果,」謝克曼說。
Off screen, Monteith was dating co-star and on-screen love interest Lea Michele.
  在螢幕下,蒙提斯的交往對象是同戲演員麗婭.米雪兒,她同時也是他在戲裡的心儀對象。
