Former "Glee" actor Mark Salling reportedly is dead from an apparent suicide.
Salling, 35, was found at the Los Angeles River in the Sunland section of Los Angeles, near his home, TMZ.com reported.
The actor was facing considerable prison time after taking a plea deal in his child pornography case just weeks shy of his federal felony trial.
He had agreed to serve a 4-to-7-year prison sentence for possessing pornographic images of prepubescent minors on his personal computer, the deal paperwork obtained by the Daily News said.
A TMZ report in October alleged Salling had attempted suicide in August by slitting both his wrists just before striking his plea deal.
