Glee's Jane Lynch Reacts to Mark Salling's Death: 'It's Tragic'

Jane Lynch has made a statement about Mark Salling‘s death after news broke that he committed suicide at the age of 35 on Tuesday (January 30).

If you don’t know, Jane and Mark co-starred on all six seasons of Glee together.

“It’s sad. Very tragic,” the 57-year-old actress said (via TMZ) when she encountered paparazzi earlier today.

When asked how she would remember Mark, she responded, “As the guy who made that really sweet video at the beginning of Glee when he was so happy to be apart [of it.]”

“It’s tragic and I’m broken-hearted over it,” Jane continued.

That same day, Jane also retweeted Tim Davis, who worked behind-the-scenes on Glee. Tim tweeted, “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.”
