Breaking News: Chris Cornell took his own life, medical examiner determines

Chris Cornell, one of the most lauded and respected contemporary lead singers in rock music with his bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died in a Detroit hotel room, according to the city's medical examiner. He was 52.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office said it had completed the preliminary autopsy on Cornell, but that "a full autopsy report has not yet been completed".
A police spokesman told two Detroit newspapers that the singer was found with a band around his neck.
Cornell's death stunned his family and his die-hard fans, who Cornell just performed for hours earlier at a show in Detroit. Soundgarden's current tour kicked off in late April and was planned to run through May 27. He was found dead at the MGM Grand Detroit hotel by a family friend who went to his room after Cornell's wife asked him to check on the singer, police said.

His wife Vicky was left dumbfounded by the artist's sudden death, telling friends there was no sign he was depressed and revealing the pair spoke before he took to the stage, TMZ reports.
Just hours before he died, Cornell left what some have interpreted as a bleak message on his Facebook account. Quoting a lyric from a song it read "I'm the shape of the hole, inside your heart".
