The boyfriend of Glee actress Becca Tobin has been found dead in a hotel in Philadelphia.
Nightclub owner Mr Bendik, 35, who was reportedly on a business trip at the time, is understood to have been found by a maid in his hotel room on Thursday.
Sunday will mark the one year anniversary of the death of Ms Tobin's co-star Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdose at the age of 31 in July last year.
The cause of Mr Bendik's death is currently unknown.
Sources have told TMZ that Mr Bendik and Ms Tobin were on a business trip together at the time and had been out with friends the night before.
A maid working at the hotel is said to have discovered the body on Thursday afternoon.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner confirmed the body was found, but there has been no further details, according to the TMZ report.
Mr Bendik was known for his work at LA nightspots DBA and AV, while Ms Tobin is known for playing Kitty Wilde on the hit show Glee.

Ms Tobin made her first appearance in the hot show in the fourth season, in the premiere episode The New Rachel in 2012.
Before finding fame on Glee, Ms Tobin had worked as an understudy on the Broadway show Rock Of Ages.
Just four weeks ago the actress had posted a black and white image of herself kissing her boyfriend, simply captioning the picture with his surname as a hash tag.
In May, Ms Tobin posted a Throwback Thursday image of the pair, saying 'tbt to the first time @mattbendik and I got our flirt on'.
The AV Nightclub is said to be one of the toughest venues to gain entry to with patrons including Chris Brown, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ne-Yo. The club has hosted DJs from Afrojack to Avicii to Kristina Kova.
He was also 'Director of Nightlife' at the Modern Honolulu Hotel’s ADDICTION nightclub.
His first foray into the party scene came in 1997 when he was 14 years old.
He strutted over to a group of high school seniors who organised weekly parties in a shuttered church in Hollywood.
‘I wanted to be a cool kid,’ he told The Modern Honolulu. ‘[So] I said to them, “You guys are the coolest. How can I help? I want to learn.” One older boy, who arranged the rental of the church for their late-night DJ all-ages party, said “Come back here after the party and we'll start you out.” I showed up at 2 a.m. and they handed me a stack of garbage bags.’
He spent the rest of the school year tidying up after hard-partying seniors.
But when the year came to an end, the seniors graduated and offered to sell him their ‘business’ for a few hundred dollars.
He bought their party list, the contract to the church rental, some DJ equipment and speakers and set out to continue organising parties for teenagers four years older than him.
By his sophomore year he was raking in tens of thousands of dollars throwing parties for students.
That same year, he was approached by Whiskey a Go-Go on The Sunset Strip to take over promoting their Monday night all-ages show. He was still only 15 years old.
It was then that his mother suggested he applied for the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in upstate New York, he told the Hawaiian paper.
After graduating he spent the next four years learning the ins and outs of event planning while putting on nights at a string of New York and Los Angeles’ most exclusive nightclubs.
He then got a job in a nightclub in Las Vegas. ‘I bar backed. I swept basements in hazmat suits in the blazing desert heat. I worked the door. I cut fruit. You name it,’ he said.
