Cory Monteith's parents dead within four weeks of each other
Cory Monteith's parents have died within weeks of each other.
The late 'Glee' star's 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 'passed away peacefully on June 18, 2025 at the age of 74 years'.
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.
It added: 'Ann 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.'
News of Ann's death comes after it was revealed that Cory's father Joe, with whom he had a rocky relationship, had passed away on May 12.
According to an online obituary for Joe, he was being treated for a serious illness before his death.
He is survived by his and Ann's son Shaun, along with his second wife Yvette Monteith.
The world was left shocked in 2013 when Cory died of a 'mixed drug toxicity' of heroin and alcohol.
After his death, in a Vancouver hotel room, the BC Coroners Service said: 'There was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose. At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident.'
Cory - who was dating 'Glee' co-star Lea Michele at the time of his death - had completed a month-long stint in a treatment facility for substance addiction in the April before his death.
Joe and Cory had been estranged for much of Cory's life, but Joe revealed that they had reconnected in 2011.
He told PEOPLE: ''I lost my son. He should have known not to touch that drug again. It's just ripping my insides out and tearing me apart."

Brianne Howey Feels a Presence Through Her Bracelet
Brianne Howey has a supernatural connection with her late grandmother, who's 'come through' by way of mediums, and a one-time séance that used her grandmother's bracelet to guide otherworldly energy into the room. The star of Netflix's hit show 'Ginny & Georgia,' currently in its third season and remains one of the network's top 10 shows after two weeks, wears a gold serpentine heirloom most days. 'It just makes me feel like I'm with my grandma,' she said of the transcendental link. In an interview, Ms. Howey reflected on the bracelet that is, as she put it, 'a physical manifestation' of her memories and her love. This interview has been edited and condensed. How did this bracelet find its way to you? After my grandma passed in 2022, one of my aunts told me that she had left it for me with my name on it, on a Post-it with the bracelet. It's so, so special to me. Did your grandma wear lots of other jewelry, or was this her main piece? Not that much, actually. She was kind of a minimalist. My grandma was a really practical woman. She had eight kids. She was a nurse, very Catholic, not a lot of bells and whistles. So that makes this even more sentimental. My grandma was also the kind of person who, anytime she lost something, she would whip out her St. Christopher beads. She had a lot of rosaries. That was more her jewelry. There would be a rosary around her neck, in every pocket, and she would know exactly who to pray to if you lost something, if you were sick, if I was nervous about a test, anything. Do you wear it every day? It's like a wedding band, almost: I feel kind of naked without it on, and it's so delicate and comfortable and it lays so flat, and it makes me feel so close to my grandma because my parents had me super young. I was really raised so much by my grandparents, so it's just extra special. I have sort of a roller coaster of a past with my jewelry collection. Twice in my life I've been robbed. And all my jewelry got stolen. So I've sort of been rebuilding. But both times, my grandma's bracelet, I've always had it. It never got stolen, so that's why it's extra sentimental.
