Glee Star Mark Salling Commits Suicide Amidst Legal Troubles
He was 35.
TMZ has reported that Mark Salling, best known for playing Puck on Glee has committed suicide. He was 35.
This comes amidst a criminal child pornography case for the former actor, which began in December 2015. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt last summer, Salling and prosecutors had reached a plea deal in October. According to prosecutors, he had more than 50,000 inappropriate images of minors in his possession. He was due to be sentenced to four to seven years this March.
Salling isn't the only Glee star that made headlines after the series ended. Star of the show, Corey Monteith died in 2013 at the age of 31. Additionally, Naya Rivera made the news quite a few times, most recently for domestic battery.
