R.I.P. Chris Cornell (1964 - 2017)

Chris Cornell, the dynamic vocalist and guitarist whose versatile showmanship as Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog's frontman was a signpost of the grunge era, died by suicide Wednesday night. He was 52. The singer's most memorable moments: Soundgarden's grunge classics, Audioslave's hits and his poetic solo material

Cornell killed himself by hanging, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner. A full autopsy report was still being completed as of Thursday afternoon. "Chris's death is a loss that escapes words and has created an emptiness in my heart that will never be filled. As everyone who knew him commented, Chris was a devoted father and husband. He was my best friend," His Wife Vicky wrote.

"His world revolved around his family first and, of course, his music second. He flew home for Mother's Day to spend time with our family. He flew out mid-day Wednesday, the day of the show, after spending time with the children. When we spoke before the show, we discussed plans for a vacation over Memorial Day and other things we wanted to do."
