How Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, 41, hanged himself on birthday of late friend Chris Cornell


Friends and family of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington are in absolute 'shock' over the rock star's apparent suicide as it's revealed they believed he 'was in a good place in his life'.

The 41-year-old was found dead in his home in Palos Verdes near Los Angeles shortly before 9am on Thursday.

A Los Angeles County coroner confirmed they were investigating Bennington's death as an apparent suicide but no additional details were available.Law enforcement officials say Bennington hanged himself in his bedroom and he was home alone at the time, according to TMZ. He was found upstairs by his housekeeper.

Band-mate Joe Hahn arrived at his home on Thursday afternoon. Other friends and relatives flipped the finger to photographers gathered outside.

After news of his shock death emerged, friends said that while they never suspected he'd kill himself, Bennington was 'never the same' after the death of his close friend Chris Cornell.

His apparent suicide coincided with Cornell's birthday. The Soundgarden rocker killed himself in May by hanging.
