Lea Michele Shares Touching Tribute on Third Anniversary of Cory Monteith’s Death

Lea Michele took to Twitter to share a touching tribute to Cory Monteith, who died three years ago today at age 31.

The Glee star shared a photo of her late boyfriend with the caption: “I know everyday you’re watching over me, and smiling. Love and miss you Cory, everyday, but today a little more.”

Monteith was found dead at a hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, after overdosing on heroin and alcohol in April 2013. He and Michele were dating at the time.

The Scream Queens actress — who recently inked herself with a “5,” the jersey number worn by Monteith’s character, Finn, on Glee — joins many of the late actor’s Glee co-stars who took to social media to remember their former co-star and friend, using the hashtag #3YearsWithoutCory.

A literal giant with a giant heart. A goofball who had two goofy feet. He always took the time to listen to others problems even when he had many of his own. I’ll never forget how comfortable you made me feel my first day on set. Miss you, my giant friend. #3yearswithoutcory
