"Glee" star's mother speaks

A little more than five years ago, actor Cory Monteith died of a heroin overdose. His body was found in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13, 2013.

The former "Glee" star's mother recently spoke with People magazine. 

Ann McGregor believes the pain medication Monteith was prescribed for dental work may have affected his sobriety.

McGregor told People her son had been on the meds in the weeks before his death.

Monteith was in rehab in April 2013, but when he got out, he had dental work that his mother suspects affected his sobriety. 

"He'd been given a lot of medication," she said.

An autopsy found traces of alcohol, morphine, codeine and heroin in his system. The BC Coroners Service found he had injected the drugs that contributed to his fatal overdose, and ruled the death as accidental. 

CTV posted a story online regarding McGregor's interview with People.
