AceShowbiz - 2018 had a rather bleak start with Mark Salling's death of suicide by hanging on Tuesday, January 30. The actor, who was known for his role as Noah "Puck" Puckerman on FOX's musical series "Glee", was found lifeless, hanging from a tree near a riverbed in Sunland, the area where he lived.

His death arrived as he awaited sentencing after he was pleading guilty to possession pornography. Prior to his passing Mark allegedly attempted to commit suicide in the bedroom of his L.A. home before he freaked out and called his roommate for help.

Following news of his passing, a slew of his former "Glee" co-stars paid tribute to him on social media. Among them were Matthew Morrison, Iqbal Theba and vocal arranger Tim Davis.
