Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell has passed away at the age of 52. He died Wednesday night in Detroit; his death is being called "sudden and unexpected," and Cornell's family will be "working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause." Quoting directing from the New York Times obituary:
"Dontae Freeman, a spokesman for the Detroit Police Department, said in an interview that at about midnight officers responded at the MGM Grand casino to an apparent suicide of a white man, born July 20, 1964, who was pronounced dead on the scene. He would not confirm the victim’s name; Mr. Cornell’s date of birth is July 20, 1964. Mr. Freeman said that the victim’s wife called a family friend to check on the victim; the family friend forced his way into the room and found the individual unresponsive on the bathroom floor.
The victim was found with a band around his neck, Mr. Freeman said. He said that the police were not confirming that the victim died of a suicide, though the preliminary determination was an “apparent suicide.” He said that more details would be released in a statement later Thursday."
Cornell is survived by his wife, two daughters, and one son.
