Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell dead at 52 (wrongful death charges against Dr. Robert Koblin) 2017

[Curious Me]

Noticed the above article stated the body guard saw Chris hanging, not on the floor. I imagine he tried to save him.

The whole timing and story of how fast it happened seems so darn odd, MOO. I hope LE makes sure there was no foul play.

I know grief can take all forms but for some reason I wish his widow would just stay out of the media, for me it portrays her in a light I'd rather not see her in. I don't know why

Chauffeured cars and sport utility vehicles arrived carrying mourners, including Cornell's widow and his two youngest children, for a private service on the Fairbanks Lawn at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Rows of white chairs and floral arrangements were set out under overcast sky. Audioslave's "Like a Stone" played from speakers.

Among those who came to pay tribute were Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield of Metallica, and Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction.

How did CC manage to invent and construct a suicide device with some objects he happened to have with him in such a short period of time when he didn't even have the energy to speak properly or coherently?

Addicts are very clever & smart, and there are times even when your whole world is crashing and burning all around you can still make do with whatever you have, no matter what.
I can say this because I am an addict, and in 1995 I did something that was so outrageous and crazy I managed to get out of going to jail and back to the treatment center I had ran away from earlier in the day after arriving from out of town. After back with family that evening at the center all I wanted to do was suicide with no way to do it, but I found a way, executed it and since I was around people when I passed out cold it was obvious I had taken something, and my condition at hospital was listed as grave, family sent home and told I probably would not make it.
Welp, guess what...

This story is book material and this thread is about CC, not me. I just wanted to say, If there Is A Will, There Is A Way.
BTW, I am a legend at that particular treatment center and I became a sort of celebrity along with the other real celebs who were there also. Something I should not be proud of but I am. lol

I was intoxicated when I did all this.

:rose: Rest in Peace CHRIS CORNELL :rose:

Chris Cornell's family, bandmates and famous friends gathered by the dozens to pay their respects as his ashes are laid in his final resting place ... the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

The private event was attended by Brad Pitt, Pharrell, Dave Grohl, Lisa Marie Presley, Dave Navarro, Jimmy Page, Courtney Love, Gavin Rossdale, James Franco, Christian Bale, Josh Brolin, Billy Idol, Joe Walsh, Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield and many more.

There's eleven slides of today's memorial service for beloved Chris Cornell.

"Chris was as melodic as The Beatles, as rocking as Sabbath and as haunting as Edgar Allan Poe," said Tom Morello, Cornell's bandmate in the supergroup Audioslave, during his eulogy.

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for the crowd of mourners, including Brad Pitt, Pharrell Williams, Christian Bale and numerous members of rock royalty, some of whom were driven to tears.

Four large portraits of Cornell were on display on a dais where Morello, actor Josh Brolin and the rocker's Soundgarden bandmates Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron delivered eulogies under overcast skies at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Fans gathered outside the cemetery's gates hours before the start of a public memorial scheduled for 3 p.m. Pacific.

The ceremony ended and mourners headed to Cornell's final resting place in the Garden of Legends section of Hollywood Forever Cemetery. "All Night Thing" by the band Temple of the Dog, which Cornell was a member of, played during the procession.

Flowers and several red roses were placed on Cornell's grave marker, which reads, "Voice of our generation and an artist for all time"

Cornell is buried near Johnny Ramone, whose headstone includes a statue of the punk rocker playing guitar.

I was admiring Vicky's high heel shoes in that picture at the link. Then, found myself hoping all the women had or were given some of those high heel protectors to prevent their heels from sinking into the grass. The heel protectors are much needed for women guests at weddings and cemeteries. . . . . :escape:

Good to hear you made it through. And, I guess it really is that simple: When you want out, you want it.

The whole thing seems off. The open letter, the Hollywood Forever burial, "the Ativan made him do it" media spin hours after his death...his MIL going after Eddie Vedder on Twitter. Sure, we didn't actually know CC or his family but the drama just seems so weird and unnecessary.

I haven't heard about this.

ETA - ok wow weird, sorta incoherent after reading all her tweets

 

[Xara]

I've lost the link to MIL Twitter. Why is she mad at EV?

Oh, I didn't know that was going on. I found it explained in Alternative Nation article why the MIL Toni is angry at Eddie. Yikes!

Aww, perhaps she is self medicating to deal with the pain. Tweets a bit incoherent.

 

[Tippy Lynn]

There are very few divorces that don't get ugly at some point. With the amount of money CC and his ex had a lawsuit was inevitable. MOO

 

[Caffeine]

I doubt Vedder didn't attend the funeral out of spite, ill will or anything like that. Like mentioned, everyone grieves differently. There may have been some rivalry between some of the Seattle bands in the 90s, but that all is in the past now, I'm sure.

I hadn't seen anything regarding the bolded part above so I looked it up. Goodness. I understand everyone grieves in their own way, but man. The drama is way out there.

 

[Vedder]

I'm not saying this because Eddie is my husband in an alternate universe (haha) but perhaps he didn't attend Chris' funeral because he prefers to mourn him in a different way. No spite, no intention of hurting the family, etc.

 

[Hazelnutty]

Didn't Eddie have an obligation in another country? A concert, i mean? Seems he did a tribute song for Chris at one of his engagements immediately following news of Chris' death. I can't imagine what must be going thru his mind being call-out by his friend's MIL. Weird.
