“I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning. "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. “He is survived by his mother and father, and his brother. "The Salling family appreciates the support they have been receiving and asks for their privacy to be respected."Since the news broke, many of his crew mates and co-stars of Glee have spoken out on social media to mark his life and passing. Tim Davies a producer of the show tweeted the following:
Today we lost another #Glee cast member.Yes, he committed crimes against children.Yes, it's horrific. But #MarkSalling was a broken man, no doubt an abuse victim himself. I loved Mark, and am sad when I consider the devastation of his parents. PLEASE withhold your cruel comments.

While Glee director Paris Barclay shared an image of Mark playing "Puck" in the hit TV series.Let me be clear. Having compassion for #MarkSalling in no way minimizes his crimes, nor does it minimize the pain and devastation of the victims of those crimes. I'm just saying stop adding to his family's pain. This was their son. If you're without sin, feel free to cast stones.
