Cory Monteith鈥檚 parents have died within weeks of each other.
The late 鈥楪lee鈥 star鈥檚 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 鈥減assed away peacefully on June 18, 2025 at the age of 74 years鈥.
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: 鈥淎nn 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.鈥
News of Ann鈥檚 death comes after it was revealed that Cory鈥檚 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鈥檚 son Shaun, along with his second wife Yvette Monteith.
The world was left shocked in 2013 when Cory died of a 鈥渕ixed drug toxicity鈥 of heroin and alcohol.
After his death, in a Vancouver hotel room, the BC Coroners Service said: 鈥淭here was evidence in the room that was consistent with a drug overdose. At this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith鈥檚 death was anything other than a most-tragic accident.鈥
Cory 鈥 who was dating 鈥楪lee鈥 co-star Lea Michele at the time of his death 鈥 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鈥檚 life, but Joe revealed that they had reconnected in 2011.
He told PEOPLE: 鈥溾淚 lost my son. He should have known not to touch that drug again. It鈥檚 just ripping my insides out and tearing me apart.鈥
