Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.
Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.
The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.
Chester was very close with Chris Cornell, who [B]himself committed suicide[/B] by hanging in May. Today would have been Cornell’s 53rd birthday. Chester wrote [B]an open letter[/B] to Chris on the day of Chris’ suicide.
The band has had a string of hits over the years, including “Faint,” “In the End” and “Crawling.” Linkin Park crossed music genres, collaborating with Jay-Z.[ATTACH=full]113794[/ATTACH]
I have now realised its true, THE DEVIL CAME TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY.
Elvis Presley, Emmy Whinehouse, Whitney Houston, MJ, and many more.
In the end all fame and wealth is vanity.
I chose the peace of mind from the fulfilment in Christ.
In the end it doesnt even matterrrrrr.
