Drug overdose, suicide, child pornography ... tragedy seems to have struck the cast of Glee once again with star Naya Rivera found dead –the most recent in a string of terrible events which has also claimed the lives of lead actors Cory Monteith and Mark Salling

In a vintage clip from TV series Glee, teacher Will Schuester (played by Matthew Morrison) asked the students where they will be in the year 2030. “Jail, or dead, or both,” one replied.

Little did we know back then that fiction would become reality for some of the cast members of the popular TV show. Glee ended in 2015, but its stars are continuing to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Here’s why many fans believe the cast of Glee is cursed...

Just when we thought the Glee curse could not get any darker, it was reported that 33-year-old Naya Rivera was missing and presumed dead after her four-year-old son was found alone on a boat on a lake in Southern California on July 8.

Police said that Rivera, who played a cheerleader in the show, had gone swimming with her son, who got back into the boat, but she mysteriously did not. The young boy was found wearing a life jacket but it is believed the actress was not as her life jacket was found on the boat, according to reports.

A day before the shocking and tragic incident, Naya posted a photo of her with her son on social media, captioning it: “Just the two of us”.
