Suicide? Wow. I think Eddie Vedder is the only original lead singer left from the first big grunge bands.
I think Jerry Cantrell and the rest of the guys in Alice In Chains might disagree........

As someone who had a lot of friends who were big in the Northwest music scene leading up to the 1990's the entire grunge scene impressed me as one big morass wherein depression is wallowed in and celebrated.
Not that that wallowing and celebrating depression was an unknown commodity among musicians before that time, but my God man that grunge stuff impressed me as a little more than hanging out with an entire cadre of nothing but Joe Btfsplk.
I had friends and acquaintances who were in The Allies, The Heats, The Range Hoods, The Cowboys, No Cheese Please, The Srypes, The Blue Baboons and other bands that were popular on the Seattle music scene and had met most of the early grunge rockers and they were definitely a buzz kill.

I'm sure I speak for many that it's baffeling that those who are the pinnacle of succes choose to off themselves, or even do so by overdosing.

It very sad to see that someone reaches a point of that much darkness in their life to take their own life.
His wife said he had takin a couple extra pills of his anxiety meds which causes those type of thoughts to increase
Very sad

It is baffling.
In cc case that was part of the appeal of his music as dealing with such things and it helped many people

@Special TThe fact that his music helped people with depression boggles my mind. I would never listen to his stiff if I was in a bad mood.
It is baffling.

I also find it amazing that the one guy who spoke his mind and was critical catches a bunch of grief. I don't care about Curt Cobaine, Robin Williams, or this guy either because they are dead and as such not worth my time. I doubt any of these folks realized how much pain they were going to cause their friends, family and those they influenced. I feel sorry for those people, mostly because they now suffer and search for answers.

One of his interviews he kind of explains as his song writing is how he felt at a certain time and if only one person said I understand what you're feeling because that person is in the same place and the song only made sense to that person then Chris felt as if he was not all that crazy to feel that and thousands of people felt the same way hearing the lyrics

Chris Cornell's wife made a statement.

And I think what you are describing there is what made grunge in general, and Cornell's music in particular so appealing to many. It was real, relatable expression of what many were going through in their own lives.
That said, feelings for his family should have been a prime consideration. Maybe they were; we will perhaps never know. Whether it was accidental overmedication, or what- one thing is sure- it's remarkably sad for fans- can only imagine what his family is going through.

What a terrible loss. I love his music. One of the greatest front men ever. There will never be a voice like his ever again. RIP Chris. Love sent to his family.
:yeah: Really sucks. Very few singers have the range of voice he had (4 octaves I think) Freddy Mercury was another one with that talent.
First concert I went to was soundgarden/ screaming trees at memorial stadium... I was 15 and would never be the same.
I saw Soundgarden, Screaming Trees and the Melvins in '90 or '91 IIRC. That was a good show. The Melvins rocked.

I hope the official cause of death by suicide is reversed for the sake of his kids, family, and friends. That would alleviate a great deal of the current and future pain for them.
If by that you hope that it comes out that there is credible evidence that he did not purposely kick his own bucket then I can go along with that, but if that you mean that you hope that the Coroner's findings of fact are subordinated to other considerations I don't think that is something I can support.
