Chris Cornell’s death officially ruled a suicide
Earlier today, we reported that the Detroit police department was investigating the death of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell as a potential suicide. Now The Hollywood Reporter has a followup, reporting that the Wayne County medical examiner’s office has confirmed this report, and officially ruled Cornell’s death a suicide. Cornell was found with a “band around his neck,” as the Detroit Free Press reports, and apparently hanged himself in his hotel room at the MGM Grand in downtown Detroit after a show at the Fox Theatre. A family friend came upon Cornell’s body when he came to check on him around midnight last night.
