Cory Monteith's estranged father has opened up about the moment he heard his son had died.
The late Glee actor passed away at the age of 31 in a hotel in the Canadian city of Vancouver and was found by hotel staff after he failed to check out of his room on Saturday.
An autopsy revealed the star had passed away from a heroin and alcohol overdose.
Cory's father Joe, who is now married to wife Ann McGregor after divorcing Cory's mother when the star was seven, has since spoken of his shock at hearing the devastating news.
He told ET Canada: "When they did break the news to my wife, she almost fell over, in fact I had to grab her. And I had to ask them again: 'What was that you said?' It really didn't sink in. It still really hasn't."
Joe also spoke about Cory's drug use and how his family came to learn he had addiction issues.
He said: "I guess he was involved in a little more in drugs than anybody knew at the time. His mother who was there with him all the time, she started picking up on it, you know stuff was missing, money here, stuff like that."
Cory became estranged from his father when he was younger after his parents separated and he did not often see him as his parent was away on military service.
Joe also spoke about his sadness this week after he was not invited to a private viewing ceremony and cremation of his son.
He told TMZ: "I always loved both my sons and am going to miss Gory very, very much. I'm saddened that I couldn't have been there to see my son before he was cremated."
