Linkin Park’s lead Chester Bennington commits suicide at 41




Chester Bennington was reportedly found hanging at a private residence in California just some time after the release of his band’s new music video on Twitter. US Official confirmed that the singer committed suicide. Sources at Nirmal Singh 3C Company note that the news was first reported by the website TMZ. It was TMZ which reported that Chester was found hanging at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in Los Angeles County, California. His body was found at the residence sometime over 9 am (local time) on Thursday. His death was finally confirmed by the Los Angeles County coroner as case of suicide.
Chester joined Linkin Park in 1998, and for a generation that grew up in early 2000s, it would have been hard to find anyone who wouldn’t own a copy of the band’s debut album Hybrid Theory. It remains one of the biggest selling albums released since the beginning of the new millennium. According to experts at Nirmal Singh 3C Company, arguably their best asset was Chester, with his powerhouse voice, whose rapsy vocals matched their sing-along anthems.
Chester leaves behind a wife and six children from two marriages. The singer has claimed to be have struggled with alcohol and drug abuse for years. He has also talked in the past about contemplating suicide because of being a victim of abuse as a child. 



According to sources at Nirmal Singh 3C Company, Chester was known to be close to former Audioslave and oundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in May this year. He wrote an open letter on the latter death, saying: "You have inspired me in ways you could never have known... I can't imagine a world without you in it." Cornell would have celebrated his 53rd birthday on the day Chester committed suicide.
Band member Mike Shinoda also confirmed the death on Twitter: "Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one."
Tributes flooded in soon after the confirmation of his death with Imagine Dragons tweeting: "no words, so heartbroken. RIP Chester Bennington."
