GLEE TRAGEDY
Glee star Cory Monteith was found dead in a
Vancouver hotel room over the weekend, at the
age of 31. Best known for starring on the hit show
as Finn Hudson, Monteith had long struggled with
drugs and alcohol and most recently checked into
rehab in March. “I watched Glee regularly with
my daughters, and I know there will be shock and
sadness in many households with the news of his
tragic death,” acting Vancouver police Chief Doug
LePard said in a statement. The British Columbia
Coroners Service said Tuesday he died from “a
mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol.”
DRUG LORD CAPTURED

HUFFINGTON
07.21.13
Mexican Marines captured the leader of the infamous
Zetas drug cartel on Monday after intercepting a truck
he was riding in that contained more than $2 million in
cash. Trevino Morales, known as “Z-40,” is charged with
murder, torture and kidnapping, as well as other crimes.
The capture is a coup for President Enrique Pena Nieto,
who has struggled to lower the crime rate in Mexico.
YOU’RE FIRED
The National Transportation Safety Board this
week fired an intern who confirmed fake, racist
names for the pilots of the Asiana flight that
recently crashed in San Francisco. A Bay Area
TV station had incorrectly reported the names
as “Sum Ting Wong,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” “Wi Tu Lo”
and “Bang Ding Ow” after verifying the names
with the NTSB. In a statement apologizing for
the mistake, the agency said “a summer intern
acted outside the scope of his authority.”
