Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington commits suicide
The 41-year old Linkin Park’s lead vocalist was found dead in his home in Palos Verdes before 9am on Thursday.
Los Angeles authority conducted the investigation and the result was an apparent suicide but still looking for details.
Law enforcement officials said Bennington hanged himself in his bedroom and he was home alone at the time. He was found upstairs by his housekeeper.
According to his friends, Bennington was ‘never the same’ after the death of his close friend Chris Cornell though they were not expecting he would kill himself.
His apparent suicide coincided with Cornell’s birthday. The Soundgarden rocker killed himself in May by hanging.
Bennington and Cornell were close friends and he was deeply affected by Cornell’s death. Both struggled with addiction issues.
The Linkin Park’s lead vocalist had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. He was married and is survived by his six children from two relationships.
