Tragically, three major Glee stars have passed away over the last decade.

Canadian actor Cory Monteith (pictured left) played the show's original leading man Finn Hudson, and died in 2013 at the age of 31 due to a heroin and alcohol overdose. The rising star was set to film the fifth season of Glee before his untimely death, and his estimated net worth was $2 million (£1.5m).

In 2018, Mark Salling (pictured right), who portrayed Noah Puckerman, took his own life at the age of 35. The disgraced actor was set to go to prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges and was reportedly worth just $100,000 (£75k) at the time of his death.

And Naya Rivera (pictured centre), who played cheerleader Santana Lopez, tragically drowned in 2020 while on a boating trip in California with her four-year-old son Josey. The 33-year-old actress and model was worth $5 million (£3.7m) at the time of her death.
