Chester Bennington was found dead, early morning today, in his private home in LA. Sadly, the cause of his death was by hanging.

Chester Bennington, father of six, was found around 9 AM today in his private residence, dead by hanging. The official coroner’s report is yet to come out. Linkin Park was currently on their “One More Night” tour that was scheduled to end by July 27th.

Bennignton has admitted that he had a problem with drugs and alcohol for years. He has also admitted to being sexually assaulted as a child by an older man which contributed greatly to his depression.

It saddens us that yet another talented man has decided to leave us after Chris Cornell’s suicide back in May. Our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones and all his fans who loved him dearly.
