MARK SAILING has died by suicide, Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County Corner’s officer confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. He was 35. The manner of death was hanging, Winter said. Salling’s body was discovered around 9 a.m. near a riverbed in Sunland. The former “Glee” star had recently pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. His sentencing was scheduled for March 7. Salling reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October after admitting he possessed images of prepubescent children. A search warrant found more than 50,000 images of child porn on his computer and a thumb drive. Salling was facing between four to seven years in prison. He would also have been required to register as a sex offender. The actor played bad boy Noah “Puck” Puckerman on all six seasons of Ryan Murphy’s musical dramedy, which aired on Fox from 2009 to 2015. (SD-Agencies) |
