In a shocking turn of events ‘Glee’ actor Mark Salling has committed suicide.

He was in controversies after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography in December 2017 and was awaiting sentencing that was due in March.

As per sources Mark hung himself and his body was found near his residence.

Talking about his death his lawyer said,

“Mark was a gentle and loving person, a person of great creativity, who was doing his best to atone for some serious mistakes and errors of judgment. He is survived by his mother and father, and his brother. The Salling family appreciates the support they have been receiving and asks for their privacy to be respected.”

This was the actor’s second suicide attempt. According to reports last year also in August 2017, Mark had tried to end his life by slicing his wrist.

His ‘Glee’ co-stars Matthew Morrison and Tim Davis paid tribute to the actor on social media

Today we lost another #Glee cast member.Yes, he committed crimes against children.Yes, it's horrific. But #MarkSalling was a broken man, no doubt an abuse victim himself. I loved Mark, and am sad when I consider the devastation of his parents. PLEASE withhold your cruel comments.

Let me be clear. Having compassion for #MarkSalling in no way minimizes his crimes, nor does it minimize the pain and devastation of the victims of those crimes. I'm just saying stop adding to his family's pain. This was their son. If you're without sin, feel free to cast stones.

May his soul rest in peace.
