Matt Morrison, who plays Mr. Schuester on the hit U.S series 'Glee', has confirmed that there will be a death on an upcoming episode of the show.

Rumours about the yet unnamed cast member's untimely exit have been circulating for a couple of weeks now after the penultimate episode of the latest series was revealed to be called 'Funeral'. Speaking to E! News, Morrisson said:

"Somebody's dying. Obviously I'm not going to tell you who it is, but it's no-one that you would probably expect."

"The episode right before the finale is called 'Funeral'. We were actually at a funeral home yesterday, shooting all day. It was a very taxing day."

Speculation around who could be leaving McKinley High and the show in general is growing as Kurt's father, Burt, recently suffered a heart attack, which caused him to fall into a coma and alcoholic character April Rhodes, played by Kristin Chenoweth, is also set to return so the potential for a dark storyline is definitely there.
