Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington was found dead yesterday morning, at his home in L.A. It looks like he committed suicide by hanging himself in his bedroom either earlier that morning or Wednesday night. He was just 41.
His body was discovered by a housekeeper at around 9:00 A.M. There aren’t any further details on the scene and it’s unclear if there was a suicide note.
His death came as a shock to everyone. He’d just arrived back in L.A. on Wednesday, after spending some time in Arizona with his wife, Talinda. They’ve been married for 11 years.
He was married once before and he had six kids, including five-year-old twins.
The band was also surprised. At about the exact same time Chester’s body was discovered, they released a video for “Talking to Myself.”
