Cory Monteith Was Left Out Of The Oscars In Memoriam Tribute

Cory Monteith Was Left Out Of The Oscars In Memoriam Tribute

Cory Monteith was left out of the In Memoriam tribute at the Oscars Sunday night.

While he was primarily a TV actor, many on Twitter were upset that Calgary-born Monteith was not included in the Academy Awards segment dedicated to those who passed away over the past year.

Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room in July 2013. An autopsy found that he had heroin and alcohol his system at the time of his death.

Philip Seymour Hoffman — who died last month with heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines and amphetamines in his system —was the last to be honored during the Oscars tribute.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story indicated that Monteith was born in British Columbia. He was born in Calgary, Alberta.
