Glee star Becca Tobin's boyfriend found dead

Tomorrow marks the one year death anniversary of Cory Monteith.

But even before the cast of US TV show, Glee, could get there, a second tragedy struck another one of their cast members. 

Becca Tobin, 28, who made her first appearance in the fourth season of the show as Kitty Wilde, faced devastating news after her entrepreneur boyfriend, Matt Bendik, 35, was found dead in a Philadelphia hotel room.

The couple were on a business trip together, reported TMZ.

Tobin and Bendik had reportedly headed to town to celebrate with friends on Wednesday (July 9).

"A Philadelphia club manager was the last person to see Matt alive just before midnight...Matt’s body was later found face down on Thursday (July 10) by a housekeeper at the Philadelphia hotel," reported the site.

It remains unclear as to where Tobin was at the time of her boyfriend's death. 

Hollywood Life claims that "the cause of Matt’s death has not yet been revealed" and that the Philadelphia Police Department is labelling Bendik’s passing as "sudden death."

The media outlet also added that authorities found "no drugs or drug paraphernalia" at the scene and that "foul play" is being ruled out. 

Shocked fans have sent their condolences and provided support via Twitter to the actress during this difficult time:
