Chris Cornell Death Ruled Suicide by Hanging, Reports Say
The death of legendary grunge singer Chris Cornell was ruled as suicide by hanging, the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled. A full autopsy hasn’t been complete yet.
As we previously reported, Chris’ wife, Vicky Karayiannis, had called a friend and asked them to check on Chris. Upon checking, they had to push the hotel room open where they ultimately found him dead in the bathroom.
Footage from his last performance taken from an audience member showed the last song of the night was about dying. Watch the video HERE.
Rest in peace, Chris. You’re going to be missed terribly.
