According to multiple new reports, Mark Salling slit his wrists and tried to kill himself prior to striking a plea bargain in his child pornography case. The incident allegedly took place in the bedroom of Salling’s Los Angeles home on August 22, both TMZ and The Mirror write. The disgraced ex-Glee star cut both his wrists and quickly “freaked out,” an insider says, explaining that Salling yelled for his roommate almost immediately upon realizing what he had done. The roommate rushed in, found Salling covered in blood and called 911. Paramedics then rushed to the scene, placed the actor in an ambulance and took him to the hospital. TMZ reports that Salling was taken for psychiatric evaluation after this suicide attempt – and, days later, was transported to a rehab facility for psychological issues. It’s unclear if he was officially diagnosed with any official condition or ailment. But if you’re wondering why Salling is almost always wearing long sleeves, even in California, it’s because he has scars on his arms from this cutting. Earlier this month, Salling reached a plea deal on charges that stemmed from police finding over 50,000 images of child porn and erotica on his personal computer. The actor, best known for playing Noah Puckerman for years on the aforementioned Fox comedy, faces four to seven years in prison for this crime. He has also agreed to make restitution, in the amount of $50,000 per victim, although it’s unknown at this time just how many victims are actually included among Salling’s heinous misdeeds. A judge has not yet handed down a sentence. As part of Salling’s eventual release, however, he will be registered as a sex offender. Moreover, he will not be allowed to live within view of any school yards, parks, public swimming pools, playgrounds, video arcades, or any other places that are regularly visited by people under the age of 18. TMZ, meanwhile, says it has spoken to Salling’s attorney and he denied this suicide story. However, he did not say which details were incorrect, adding: “Mark is physically fine and Mark is spending his time atoning and working on himself.” He very clearly has a lot to work on.
