| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

http://news.sky.com/story/1115515/cory-monteith-glee-star-found-dead-in-hotel Cory Monteith: Glee Star Found Dead In Hotel The 31-year-old actor, who has struggled with substance abuse problems, is found dead in his hotel room.6:14pm UK, Sunday 14 July 2013 The 31-year-old's body was discovered at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel just after noon on Saturday after he failed to check out. Police believe he was alone when he died, and have ruled out foul play. Doug LePard, the acting chief of Vancouver Police, said: "As was the case in countless homes, I watched Glee regularly with my daughters, and I know there will be shock and sadness in many households with the news of his tragic death. "Mr Monteith checked into the hotel on July 6 and was due to check out of the room (on Saturday). "There were others with Mr Monteith in his room earlier ... but video and fob key entries show him returning to his room by himself in the early morning hours and we believe he was alone when he died." It was not Monteith's first time in rehab. He received treatment when he was 19 and had previously talked about his addiction struggles, saying he had a serious problem and took just "anything and everything". A post-mortem will take place on Monday, and the coroner will decide on the next steps to establish the cause of death. A statement on behalf of Glee's executive producers and 20th Century Fox Television said: "We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. "Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones." Stars have spoken of their shock at the news. Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Bieste in Glee, wrote on Twitter: "I have no words! My heart is broken, Cory was not only a hell of a friend, he was one amazing man that I will hold close to my heart forever." Singer Taylor Swift wrote: "Speechless. And for the worst reason." Actress Jaimie Alexander added: "Sweet man... Gone far too soon. Peace be with you friend." Singer Lance Bass said: "Devastated about the news of Cory Monteith - such an incredible guy - my thoughts are with his family and friends." And Zooey Deschanel wrote: "What an absolutely tragic loss of a very talented young man." |

I was rather shocked with I first read this, especially my sister who watches the show a lot. I've only watched one series of Glee and his role was great IMV, can't see how the show will survive without him. |
