Mark Salling, who played bad-boy Noah (Puck) Puckerman in the hit musical-comedy Glee, died Tuesday, several weeks after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography. Salling pleaded guilty in December after authorities said a search of his computer found more than 50,000 images of child porn. A law enforcement official not authorized to speak publicly said Salling was found in a riverbed area in the Tujunga neighbourhood of Los Angeles. "I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning," the actor's attorney, Michael J. Proctor, said in an email to The Associated Press. Salling's character on Glee was a member of the school's football team who ends up joining the glee club.
