In 2013, Cory, who played the role of Finn on Glee, tragically passed away due to alcohol and heroin overdose in Vancouver. He had been in a relationship with his Glee leading co-star, Lea Michele, up until his death.
Actress Naya, who portrayed Santana on the show, had passed away due to drowning in 2020, after the star had taken her four-year-old son out on Lake Piru in Ventura County, California.
McHale had recently spoken about Naya during his podcast titled, And That’s What You REALLY Missed, along with his co-host and Glee alum, Jenna Ushkowitz. The two were joined by Heather Morris, and Chris Colfer for its Snixxmas Special Charity Drive.
He expressed that Rivera was very talented and stated, ‘It was really infuriating and also incredible to watch,’ adding, ‘She was so good, just so good… it was a gift that we got to be around every single day.’

Mark Salling, who played the character of Puck on the Fox show, passed away in 2018 after committing suicide. In 2015, he was arrested for reportedly being in possession of child pornography.
Two years later in 2017, Mark pleaded guilty to the charges, but a couple months before his sentencing hearing, he had committed suicide by hanging in Los Angeles.
The trailer for the limited, three-part investigative series was released on Thursday, documenting the ‘poisonous side of fame’ and the hit show’s alleged curse.
Text on the screen appeared, reading, ‘In May 2009, 10 young actors made their TV debut on Glee. By 2020, all of them would be famous, and three would be dead.’
Glee ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015 and throughout its time on air and the years following, trauma has reigned supreme – leading to claims of a ‘Glee Curse’.
