TMZ is reporting that he was found in hotel bathroom with band around his neck, no blood.
I cannot wrap my head around all of this...

I can't stop thinking and crying about this. We have concert tickets for tomorrow night, but now my usual "I love you Chris" shout out won't be uttered. To think I shouted those four words for the last time on November 4, 2016 is unthinkable (TOTD, Philadelphia). I was going to get an Uber ride to meet my husband and friends at the festival. They are going all day, and I was going to go just for Soundgarden because we have a little one now. Detroit has become a bittersweet place. It was there I saw them for the first time (January 27, 2013), and now it will always be where they played last. Once I post this I will see my avatar, and those bars will take on new meaning. ............ Dear Chris, I love you! We all love you!!! Thanks for.... **Being my frequent companion on the road....my favorite place to spend time with you. **Giving me joy during both good times and bad. **Giving me the friends I have here. Without you and Kim and Matt and Ben we would have never 'met'. **Sharing your beautiful voice and words. You are the chief melody maker and poet laureate of the world, and your departure will not change that. I will see ya on the other side in time. Much love to you from PM. .................. I am going to post pics of the venue announcement and lineup. Attachments:

This is some real freakin bullshit.....You gotta be kidding me. A part of me just died. This is how I live...Work, eat,sleep, listen to Cornell. These are the 4 staples of my every day being. Out of anyone to pass....for it to be Cornell,at 52.....this is just fuckin' wrong.

It is horrible to know he is gone. I am very very very surprised they suspect suicide. My first reaction is "No way!" But, time may tell.
My condolences to his family, that we all know he loved very much.
You are so missed, Chris 💔💔💔

TMZ doesn't have a great deal of class when it comes to this sort of thing. They tend to report before all the facts are given. Suicide seems highly unlikely to me, as he seems to have lacked any indication of being suicidal at least since the '90s, but like I said, I didn't know him personally. There are just a multitude of "why?" questions that a suicide would raise for me, a lot of them to do with the timing, but I'm not going to sit here and list them all out because there's probably a good chance that I'm wrong.
For now, all we can do is mourn the loss of such an amazing guy.

I don't believe for an instant that he committed suicide. Not unless one of the guys confirm it (ben, kim, matt, eddie, stone or jeff. I trust no one but them. I'm still in shock. I Love Chris so much.

I wish we knew the facts. It may make it easier to accept. But, probably not.
There's been a third suggestion discussed... will we ever know? I just don't see him leaving his kids by suicide. And I think he was still clean of drugs.
The shock still hasn't lifted. I can only imagine what his family is going through.
I love you, Chris. Thanks for some really wonderful memories. 😢

I've been playing Soundgarden all day and this just makes some songs a bit harder to listen to now, especially I Awake and Blow Up The Outside World.
It also makes Black Hole Sun a little ironic now. "Heaven Send hell away/No one sings like you anymore" certainly applies to Chris.

The medical examiner has officially announced it was suicide by hanging... That's so odd. Like you said, it's so hard to imagine him leaving his kids like that, especially at the beginning of a tour after it already started. He loved performing and always seemed to be in good spirits when on stage, joking around with the audience, talking about his wife and kids. Then there are lyrics like the ones to "Rowing," which seem to suggest suicide was something that didn't appeal to Chris in the slightest. I'd honestly have guessed murder before suicide since he did have one messed up stalker. Anyway, this is just such a shock to me that he could have been driven to do such a thing. I feel so bad.

This is nuts.....
Being I'm away from home right now, I gotta go cop a small boom box, go down by the east river and crank some Soundgarden for a few hours on a bench and zombie out...
