Cory Monteith\u2019s parents have died within weeks of each other.<\/p>\n

The late \u2018Glee\u2019 star\u2019s mother Ann McGregor passed away earlier this month, just four weeks after his father Joe Monteith died in May. According to her online obituary, Ann \u201cpassed away peacefully on June 18, 2025 at the age of 74 years”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The obituary went on to state that she was predeceased by her parents and son Cory and is survived by son Shaun Monteith and other family members.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cAnn enjoyed her time gardening, along with her artistic pursuits on her acreage in Shirley, BC, together with Cornelius, Harley and her love birds. Ann was a person of strong character and she carried that throughout her life.”<\/p>\n

News of Ann\u2019s death comes after it was revealed that Cory\u2019s father Joe, with whom he had a rocky relationship, had passed away on May 12.<\/p>\n

According to an online obituary for Joe, he was being treated for a serious illness before his death.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his and Ann\u2019s son Shaun, along with his second wife Yvette Monteith.<\/p>\n

The world was left shocked in 2013 when Cory died of a \u201cmixed drug toxicity” of heroin and alcohol.<\/p>\n

After his death, in a Vancouver hotel room, the BC Coroners Service said: \u201cThere was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose. At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith\u2019s death was anything other than a most-tragic accident.”<\/p>\n

Cory \u2013 who was dating \u2018Glee\u2019 co-star Lea Michele at the time of his death \u2013 had completed a month-long stint in a treatment facility for substance addiction in the April before his death.<\/p>\n

Joe and Cory had been estranged for much of Cory\u2019s life, but Joe revealed that they had reconnected in 2011.<\/p>\n

He told PEOPLE: \u201c\u201cI lost my son. He should have known not to touch that drug again. It\u2019s just ripping my insides out and tearing me apart.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
