The actor even skipped a cast trip to Las Vegas for "Glee" star Naya Rivera's birthday. The actress later revealed that Salling dumped her on his agent's advice — thinking he'd be a bigger sex symbol as a single guy. “I had a feeling his pretending to be single had…more to do with his d*ck,” she later said.
Salling still had some Hollywood pals, however — including
Rob Kardashian and his fellow doomed "Glee" star
Cory Monteith. He pleaded guilty in Oct. 2017. His sudden death at age 35 comes about after he managed a plea deal that had him facing up to seven years in prison — with an angry ex-girlfriend having tipped off the police.

The Blast.com reported that Salling's family confirmed the death: “I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning," said a statement. "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.”
