Roommate's 911 call about Glee's Mark Salling

A chilling 911 tape has resurfaced from Mark Salling's previous suicide attempt, recorded just three months before he died at the age of 35.

The actor — who played bad boy Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman — was today found dead at the Los Angeles River in Sunland, near where he lived.

The Glee actor had been due to soon appear in court over child pornography charges, to which he pleaded guilty, and was facing at least five years in prison.

The star's lawyer Michael J. Proctor, confirmed the news of his sudden death in a statement to EW.

“I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning,” it read.

“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."
