GONE TOO SOON. The 'Glee' star's death has drawn an outpouring of sympathy

MANILA, Philippines – Autopsy and toxicology tests have been completed on the body of “Glee” star Cory Monteith, reports CBC News.

Monteith, 31, was found dead at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver on July 13 (July 14 MNL).

According to Barbara McLintock of B.C. Coroners Service, results are not expected to be released for “several days,” but steps can be taken to expedite the process.

“We might try and do some queue jumping to see if we can get them a little earlier, simply because we recognize this is a case with huge amount of public interest,” she explained.

McLintock made the assurance that speeding up the process will not affect the integrity of the investigation.
