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

[wfgodot]

I'll take half a Xanax if I'm not at home, if I still need to "function". My grandmother was given Ativan when she was in the hospital but it made her combative.

Yup. Same with me exactly on the last bit.

Chris Cornell’s family disputes he killed himself

Associated Press 10:04 a.m. ET May 19, 2017

Detroit — The family of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell is disputing “inferences that Chris knowingly and intentionally” killed himself.

The family said in a statement that without toxicology tests completed, they can’t be sure what led to his death, or if any substances were involved. According to lawyer Kirk Pasich, Cornell had a prescription for the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, which he said has various side effects...

I still can barely believe their last song covered the refrain from "In My Time of Dying." That's capstone-to-the-legend stuff right there, rock-wise. He gave this all some thought.

thanks for posting that link. This may help others understand, also keep in mind he was on psych meds that have serious side effects.

Answers the question as to why his wife was so concerned about not being able to reach him.

:grouphug:

It kind of answers that question, but not really.

One must consider the possibility that there were other factors which led to the fierce urgency that was demonstrated by the actions we know. When someone is not answering their mobile or room door for a half hour, there's gotta be a reason that you go from knocking on the door to breaking it down. I mean, for all anyone knew, the guy could have been at the hotel pool or gym, went to get something to eat alone or was taking a long shower (and couldn't hear his phone or knocks on the door). It's simply not normal behavior to start breaking someone's hotel room door down so quickly -- there's something missing from this equation; I'd guess a threat or episode that isn't being shared.

Yes, it could be the pharmaceuticals but again the response indicates something more.

Sadly, even if it is the pharmaceuticals, one of the benefits of being the industry that's the largest advertiser of the news industry is that you essentially get a free pass. No one finds it curious that the US is one of only two countries that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers? There will be no accountability and the prescription drug component of this story will quickly fade away from getting any mention in the news and be forgotten by Monday. :-(

Here's what I think happened, based on my not-unimpressive experiences with psychiatric meds. After years and years of depression I was finally switched to Zoloft (years and years ago) and, in a bit, began to feel a sort of euphoric equanimity with matters mental. I felt "normal," as it were, and so glad. So glad I thought, this is almost heaven! and began not-unserious plans to kill myself straightaway, before that feeling could go.

Still here, but I can't help but consider Chris had reached that same peaceful equanimity, and did not want ever to let it go.

So glad you're still here. Zoloft is keeping me steady but I still fight these thoughts every single day.

On to Citalopram now -- it's nothing special but does help a bit. Yes -- every single day. Every. Single. Day.

Stay good.

Hmmm. I wonder how long he was in the bathroom for? Did he send a message to his wife? Sad. RIP.

From what I understand, his wife contacted a friend for a wellness check who broke open his hotel room door and found him. It breaks my heart. :rose:

An account of CC last performance. He said even without hindsight it was clear something was wrong.

Watched videos from the concert yesterday morning after learning the news and have to agree.

Found this video of his daughter singing with him. She has a beautiful voice as well. [emoji171]

Is Ativan unpredictable? If he was taking it regularly wouldn't he know how he'd react? I'm also curious as to how fast it takes to affect one. He was apparently acting normally after the show yet ONE hour later he's found dead. That's a very short window of time to spontaneously (due to Ativan) decide to die and go through with it. That makes no sense to me.

I've struggled with severe depression. Never did I go from normal to suicidal to attempt in one hour. However, I was very good at fooling people while planning my demise, so from their perspective it would appear I was fine.

I don't understand how he was able to hang himself if he was as groggy as his wife said. How did he pull that off in such a short time span, under the influence of that type of drug? I also cannot figure out how he would do it with a stretchy band? It would also have to be a really tall door.
my opinion only

If he took more than he usually did, it most likely would have knocked him out. Makes me wonder about parasomnia. https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201301/dangerous-dreamers

I noticed that CC looked thin and tired, and maybe a bit wired too. It reminded me of John McAfee, a little.

As I stated, I have stayed in this hotel many times. I can't figure this part out either. The bathrooms are large with walk in showers. The only thing I can think of that he could have used is the shower head. IDK.
