Turns out fans of the hit show “Glee” may never know how Finn Hudson meets his end.
In an interview with Deadline, “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy admitted that the sudden death of Cory Monteith, one of the show’s most popular actors, raised questions about the fate of his lovable jock character
Ultimately, the show’s execs chose the more ambiguous approach.
“At one point, we were going to have his character die after an accidental drug overdose — that was something we had considered,” Murphy said. “But we have decided that we’re not going to have him pass from that. Basically, what we’re doing in the episode is we are not telling you yet, or maybe not at all, how that character died.”
The tribute episode, which is being filmed this week, will be more a celebration of the character’s life.
“That might be weird for some people, but it felt really exploitative to do it any other way,” Murphy said.
The 31-year-old heartthrob was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room in July after taking a deadly combination of heroin and booze.
“Glee” will return for its fifth season on Sept. 26.
