Chris Cornell’s Widow Releases Emotional Statement

Vicky Karayiannis Cornell, Chris Cornell’s widow, released an emotional statement following the toxicology report showing that her husband had prescription drugs in his system when he killed himself in a Detroit hotel room.

“Many of us who know Chris well, noticed that he wasn’t himself during his final hours and that something was very off. We have learned from this report that several substances were found in his system. After so many years of sobriety, this moment of terrible judgement seems to have completely impaired and altered his state of mind. Something clearly went terribly wrong and my children and I are heartbroken and are devastated that this moment can never be taken back,” she said in a statement. “We very much appreciate all of the love we have received during this extremely difficult time and are dedicated to helping others in preventing this type of tragedy.”
