He was a grunge god and one of rock's most powerful singers. He channeled his dark side into his songs – until it finally got the better of him.
. Sweet Jesus! What a horrifying experience!! 30-minutes until they got to him!!

I hate to admit it, but they are very good at it. They were the first ones to give Michael Jackson´s death news and, if I am not mistaken, Prince too. But let´s wait for the toxicology results | |

Nice tribute to Chris by Guns N' Roses last night ... "Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself." | |

As expected, Vedder's tribute was very emotional. He had Cornell's photograph and some candles behind his tape recorder onstage at Amesterdam, two nights ago. All songs were pretty emotional too. Must be having a hard time... | |

All these tributes are incredibly beautiful and touching, but also very heartbreaking.

The toxicology report was released yesterday, and I was very surprised to learn that drugs were not the cause of death. . I find that perplexing because if he took an extra Ativan, which is known to cause suicidal thoughts; wouldn't that have been a contributing factor in his death? . Very sad reading this, because it sounds eerily too similar to how Michael Hutchence died (hanging in hotel room), and while on-tour. . http://www.nbcnews.com/po...is-n767921

Michigan's Wayne County Medical Examiner released the autopsy and toxicology report in the death of Chris Cornell Friday, with the coroner confirming that the manner of death was suicide and that "drugs did not contribute to the cause of death. "It is my opinion that death was caused by hanging," Wayne County assistant medical examiner Theodore Brown wrote in his post mortem report in documents obtained by Rolling Stone. "Based on the circumstances surrounding this death and the autopsy findings, the manner of death is suicide." The medical examiner then reiterated the circumstances of Cornell's death as found in the police report, which stated that Cornell was "found partially suspended by a resistance exercise band in his hotel room." The injuries sustained "were all consistent with hanging, partially suspended by the resistance exercise band." Additionally, seven different drugs were found in Cornell's post mortem toxicology report, including a significant dose of the anxiety medicine Ativan. However, it is the medical examiner's opinion that "these drugs did not contribute to the cause of death." The drugs found in Cornell's system were "butalbital, lorazepam, pseudoephedrine and its metabolite norpseudoephedrine, caffeine, and naloxone." The caffeine came from No-Doz tablets the singer ingested prior to his death, while the pseudoephedrine was employed as a decongestant. Other prescription drugs included the sedative Butalbital, Narcan ("a narcotic antagonist") and four doses of Lorazepam, which is known as the anxiety medication Ativan. The Cornell family has previously blamed the rare side effects of Ativan – which includes suicidal thoughts – for catalyzing the singer's death. However, the medical examiner noted that while the 200 ng/mL level of Ativan in Cornell's blood was well higher than the average 30-50 ng/mL dosage, it was also lower than the 300 ng/mL Ativan blood levels of those whose death are tied to the drug.
Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

Wonder if the Narcan came from EMS trying to revive him? | |

Bullshit. That's Big Pharma washing their hands out of the whole business. So many questions also... What doctor prescribes such a strong anxiety medication to a former addict? Did the bodyguard give him the medication? If he gave him the anxiety medication, should we assume he carried all the other pills also? Did Cornell really want to commit suicide and that's why he asked his bodyguard to fix the computer? Why did it take so long from the time his wife hung up and calling the bodyguard to the latter getting into the room? It seems she did not call right away, then. So tragic. So sad. People are dying from prescribed medication and everyone is turning a blind eye and attributing it to being a musician, an actor, whatever with issues. This is a real problem.

Also, Cornell's last album, Higher Truth, did not come exactly from a happy place, imo. | |

Last summer my co-workers 84 year old mother was put on Ativan, 3 weeks later she stabbed herself in the neck and in the stomach with a butcher knife, on my friends lunch hour she went over to see her mom, and found her mother laying in bed, still alive. Her wounds could've been operated on, but her mother refused the surgeon to do anything, they had to put her in hospice care. These meds are making normal people kill themselves. | |
