Legendary Rock Star Was Just Found Dead, Hanging In His Hotel Room
By Michele
Singer Chris Cornell, the lead vocalist for the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died Wednesday night in Detroit, his representative said. He was 52.
A medical examiner has determined Cornell killed himself by hanging in a room at the MGM Grand hotel in following a concert.
A full autopsy report was not yet completed Thursday afternoon.
Two Detroit newspapers had earlier cited a police spokesman Cornell was found with "a band around his neck."
A different Detroit Police spokesman, Michael Woody, told The Associated Press Thursday that he could not confirm that Cornell died with a band around his neck. He did confirm Cornell's wife called a family friend and asked him to check on Cornell. Woody says the friend forced open a hotel room door and found Cornell on the bathroom floor
Chris Cornell was a modern innovator who transcended genres. He was the chief architect of the 90s grunge movement and remains one of the best rock voices of all time. Achieving multi-platinum success with three legendary bands – selling over 30 million records worldwide – he has forged his own unique identity over three decades as a Grammy award-winning, Golden Globe nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer and lyricist.
The singer's rep, Brian Bumbery, told Fox News that Cornell’s death was “sudden and unexpected” and said his wife and family are shocked.
