Actor Mark Salling, who is well known for his role in Glee; a musical film series has committed suicide.

The sad incident happened a month after he pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.

His body was found at the Los Angeles River, area where he lived.

He was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography involving a pre-pubescent minor.

Prosecutors said he had 50,000 images of underage children. Sentencing in the case was set for March.

He was expected to get 4 to 7 years in prison as part of a plea deal.

Salling had cut his wrists back in August and it appeared to be a suicide attempt, although his lawyer denied it.
