Cry For Help: Mark Salling Told Friend He ‘Wasn’t Okay’ After First Suicide Attempt
- 6 years ago
Before Mark Salling committed suicide this week, he had previously attempted to take his own life in a shocking cry for help, a friend of the Glee actor revealed exclusively to RadarOnline.com.
"I messaged him after he slit his wrists and I just asked if he was okay, and he directly said no. I was just like, well, how do I respond to that," the pal told Radar of the disturbing exchange last summer.
"Do I think somebody should've stepped in and done something? I don't know," the friend told Radar. "He did open up to me. When he was acting depressed, I was thinking, sure everyone is depressed. I didn't take it seriously enough."
LAPD received a missing person report on the Glee star. Six hours later — around 8:50 AM — police discovered his body.

As Radar reported, Salling was found hanging from a tree.
"He was just a kid from Lake Highlands...I have no idea what happened or why," Salling's friend said. "That wasn't him...something was wrong. Mental health is so important and I wish he would have been able to get help."
