Mark Salling (35) het die rol van Noah “Puck” Puckerman, ’n atleet en boelie wat in ’n sanger ontpop het, in die gewilde televisiereeks vertolk.
Volgens die Los Angeles-polisie is Salling Dinsdagoggend omstreeks drieuur as vermis aangemeld. Gerugte doen die ronde dat hy homself naby Tujunga, Los Angeles, gehang het.
Woensdag het sy prokureur, Michael J. Proctor, bevestig dat Mark gesterf het, maar hy het nie die oorsaak van die akteur se dood bespreek nie.
“Hy was ’n sagte en liefdevolle mens, ’n baie kreatiewe mens, en iemand wat sy bes probeer het om te vergoed vir ernstige en oordeelsfoute wat hy gemaak het.”
Salling laat sy ouers en ’n broer agter.
Pornografie
In 2015 het Salling in die pekel beland toe verdoemende bewyse van kinderpornografiese materiaal op sy skootrekenaar en geheueskyfie in sy Los Angeles-huis gevind is.

Na bewering het dit meer as 50 000 foto’s en video’s bevat wat kinderpornografie, waarin onder andere meisies jonger as 12 jaar verskyn.
Joseph Macias, die hoof van die Amerikaanse Immigrasie en Doeane-veiligheidsondersoeke, het destyds gesê die foto’s is meer as net foto’s. “Dit is kindermishandeling,” het hy dit beskryf.
Salling het in Desember skuldig gepleit op een klag van die besit van kinderpornografie waarby ’n minderjarige betrokke is. Hy sou op 7 Maart vanjaar gevonnis word.
Volgens sy pleitooreenkoms sou hy na verwagting vier tot sewe jaar tronkstraf opgelê word, gevolg deur ’n tydperk van 20 jaar onder toesig en in die register vir seksoortreders opgeneem word.
Glee
Salling was betreklik onbekend toe hy van 2009 tot 2015 deel van die reeks word.
Na afloop van die eerste vier seisoene waarin hy gereeld verskyn het, het hy in die laaste twee seisoene sporadies opgeduik toe van die karakters te oud word vir hul storielyn.
Een van sy mede-akteurs in die reeks, Corey Monteith, het in 2013 aan ’n oordosis dwelms gesterf.

I have mixed feelings about this. #MarkSalling did horrible, horrible things but I couldn't imagine him killing himself. He was someones son, family member. He was a human. No way I am I defending him but no one should be happy that he took his own life.

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.

To all those equating #marksalling to #CoryMonteith , may I remind you that one was a victim of the opioid crisis & the other killed himself bc he was caught with 25,000 pornographic pics & 600 pornographic videos of kids as young as THREE. Being on #Glee doesn't give you a pass.

It’s a shame when anybody feels suicide is the answer.

However, #MarkSalling was a self admitted sex offender & peodophile contributing to kids experience the worst things anybody let alone a CHILD should ever experience.
And for that, I hope he rots in hell.
Yes, I said that.
Like I know he did horrible things but it feels absolutely horrible that now not one but two people who shaped me into the person I am today, because of Glee, are gone ???? #marksalling pic.twitter.com/LgIuMJoIAX

I don’t agree with what #MarkSalling did. I think it was awful, but I also don’t think he was a bad person, so I feel sad that he saw no other way than to end his own life. I loved him as Puck and many others did too. Rest in peace, Mark

I am obviously disgusted over #MarkSalling ‘s actions-but let us not forget that he was very sick and that he has a FAMILY and loved ones. Consider that before gloating about someone’s death, you insensitive assholes.

Why do you remember only bad things about Mark Salling? Everybody makes mistakes. Just rest in peace. #Glee #MarkSalling

Yes #MarkSalling had his demons. This isn’t the time for cruel comments on those demons. This is the time though to talk about #mentalhealth & to creating a world where #suicide stops being the solution. My prayers go out to the #Glee cast and Mark’s family. #STOPSuicide

It's always shocked me what Mark Salling done but I am so heartbroken that he thought suicide was the only way out. He may not be remembered for the good things he done but his character as Puckerman has helped so many troubled teens. #MarkSalling pic.twitter.com/QyDMvZhkyL

I mean, Mark wasn't an angel, we know but he was the one who played Noah Puckerman. We lost another Glee star. It's just sad... #Glee #MarkSalling pic.twitter.com/gc1aCgzCDM
