A report from Detroit's WXYZ says Cornell's body was discovered on the bathroom floor of his hotel room at MGM Grand Detroit after a show Wednesday night. Cornell's wife allegedly called a family friend to check on the singer ... and police are saying it appears Cornell died from an apparent suicide

TMZ has confirmed with police the family friend had to force his way into Cornell's room and found him with a band around his neck. We're told there was no blood, and police suspect suicide based on the scene.
This sucks. He is one of my all time favorites. I feel so bad for his family

Just saw him in Tuscaloosa. Cannot believe it man. Cornell had a voice range like no other. Glad I got to see him one last time, but damn I wish it didn't end like this. He was one of my favorite musicians growing up.

Alcohol and cigarettes were, from what I understand, always his poison of choice. The booze will get you, but not in the way the more "rockstar" drugs will. It's been well-documented he's struggled with crippling depression his whole life, which is likely what this was all about. Maybe in his 50's, he was finding less and less of a reason to fight it off. This guy has been my favorite singer since I was a teenager. Music lost another great one.

Dude battle with drugs since he was 12. He battled with alcohol, but he would take Oxycotin and other opioids.
