Lea Michele marked the four-year anniversary of Cory Monteith’s death with a touching post on Twitter today. Prior to his tragic passing in 2013, the actress and her Glee co-star dated for a year and a half. On July 13 of that year, Cory was found dead in his Vancouver, Canada, hotel room. Although Cory had sought treatment for drug addiction several times prior to his passing, an autopsy later discovered that his death was due to a toxic combination of heroin and alcohol.

“Hard to believe it’s been 4 years… We miss you C… love you more,” Lea wrote beneath a photo of her and Cory.

On Glee, Cory played William McKinley High School’s star quarterback, Finn Hudson. After Cory’s death, his character Finn’s death was written into the show as well, in the emotional episode “The Quarterback.”

Following Cory’s death, Lea revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that Glee guest star Kate Hudson had helped her the most by letting her stay at her home.
"It was so helpful to just basically have a safe place to process and just have a minute to just breathe before getting back to my house, which just has a lot of memories and stuff,” she explained.
