The former Glee star was found dead Tuesday morning January 30th in Sunland, a foothill community near Los Angeles.

The discovery occurred weeks before the actor’s sentencing for possessing child porn.

His attorney, Michael J. Proctor, said in a statement, “I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning. 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. The Salling family appreciates the support they have been receiving and asks for their privacy to be respected.”

L.A. police reported that officers responded to the 11900 block of Big Tujunga Road in Sunland Tuesday morning at 8:50 a.m. where they found his body. The cause of death is still unconfirmed.
