PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The boyfriend of one of the stars from the popular show “Glee” was found dead in a Center City Philadelphia hotel room.
Matt Bendik, the boyfriend of Becca Tobin, was found in the Hotel Monaco on Chestnut Street Thursday afternoon.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner says an autopsy attempting to determine what caused the death of 31-year-old nightclub owner Matt Bendik inside a hotel room on Independence Mall Thursday is inconclusive and additional tests will be required.
“The autopsy did not immediately establish a clear cause of death,” the statement read, in part, “There was no evidence of trauma.”
Philadelphia Police, who are classifying the case, for now, a “sudden death” investigation, say there were no signs of anything suspicious or any foul play inside the room where Bendik was found unconscious by a hotel employee, shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday.
Medics, who rushed to the scene, performed CPR but were unable to revive him and pronounced him dead at 1:17 p.m.
Bendik is the boyfriend of “Glee” star Becca Tobin, who did not accompany him on what police described as a business trip to Philadelphia.
Police say Wednesday evening Bendik was socializing in an attempt to sample Philadelphia nightlife and there were no signs of any problems.
So far, there have been no statements from representatives of Bendik’s family or Tobin’s.
Because of additional tests that have to be performed, it’s possible the cause of his death may not be known for several weeks.
This is not the first time tragedy has struck to someone connected to the show.
Almost a year ago, “Glee” star Cory Monteith died of an accidental alcohol and drug overdose in a Canadian hotel.
"in an attempt to sample?" What a strange phrase. Perhaps he successfully sampled beyond all expectations?
Vile cesspool show with cast members and those linked to them apparently dying off in droves.
People connected to Hollywood’s homo wing dying young? What are the odds?
If it bleeds, it leads. Even if they help spill the metaphorical blood to get the story.
Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry
I’m somewhat surprised that a female “Glee” cast member has (had) a boyfriend ...
I was amazed that a leftist puke like Henley could nail the utterly corrupt TV news business so perfectly ...
Who cares?
.
Previously, a cast member OD’d on heroin while alone in his apt. His fiance, another cast member, was (And is still) paraded around and the media treated their relationship like it was an awesome ball of fantasy cool.
If I knew a girl whose bf O-D’d alone in his apartment I wouldn’t be thinking that they had such a great thing going on. That relationship had to be a nightmare.
I would also assume that she was into some rough stuff herself. I have never heard the media even speculate.
These are the role models the media is pushing on your children. Just fantastic.
Accidental? As if even a moron wouldn't know that mixing alcohol and drugs won't kill.
Probably sampling the drugs of Philly.
Choked on treacle? Strangled by political correctness? Asphyxiated from lack of creative oxygen?
Just guessing ...
There’s straight people on Glee?
I guess “glee” is the next level, when “gay” just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Popular show “Glee”? Never heard of it.
