A source told E! News Monteith, who recently spent about a month in rehab, was "super committed to getting sober," adding, "He would say this was his last chance."

According to TMZ, the actor was cremated at the request of his mother Ann, and a private viewing was reportedly held with his mom, girlfriend Lea Michele, and brother Shaun.
