Cornell and Soundgarden got me through some tough times in my life. Not sure I would still be here today without picking up Superunknown 23 years ago. RIP Chris.

According to the report, obtained by the Detroit News, Cornell had a troubling telephone conversation with his wife Vicky in the hour before his death where he admitted to taking "an extra Ativan or two" and was slurring his words, reiterating Vicky Cornell's separate statement Friday morning.

The police report also fleshed out the timeline of what transpired from the time Soundgarden's Detroit concert ended to the time the singer was found dead in his hotel room's bathroom.

Soon after Soundgarden's concert ended, at 11:30 p.m., Cornell's bodyguard Martin Kirsten said he accompanied the singer to his hotel room to help fix his computer and give him two Ativan "which victim takes for anxiety," the police report states.

Soon after, Cornell and Vicky spoke on the phone, with the singer slurring his words, admitting he may have taken too much Ativan and repeatedly saying "I am just tired" before abruptly hanging up.

Following that conversation, Vicky Cornell called Kirsten to check on her husband. Despite having the key to Cornell's room, Kirsten couldn't open the door because it was latched. Kirsten then called hotel security, who told the bodyguard that they could not let him in the room because he wasn't authorized to enter it.

Despite security's refusal to assist, Kirsten then kicked open Cornell's hotel door. The bedroom door was also latched, so the bodyguard again called hotel security before ultimately kicking open that door. Upon inspecting the bathroom, Kirsten found Cornell "laying on the bathroom floor" with blood running down his mouth and a red exercise band around his neck.

According to TMZ, Cornell fastened the band to a carabiner that had been lodged into the doorframe, leaving indentation marks.

Just before 1 a.m., paramedics entered Cornell's room, removed the band from his neck and attempted CPR on the singer, who was not breathing. A doctor who later came to the scene pronounced Cornell dead at 1:30 a.m.

Those guys from the grunge era of music were troubled individuals. Amazing the number that have bitten the dust.

I've heard a rumor from people in Detroit that it could have been auto-erotic asphyxiation, possibly having phone sex with his wife.


This makes the most sense. Was doing the autoerotic asphyxiation thing with his wife or mistress. He passed out and strangles himself. Wife then asks someone to check up on him when he doesn't respond. He and his wife or maybe someone else were into kinky things.

Yeah, it's real easy to talk on the phone while you are choking. Here baby, let me put it on speaker phone while I hang from the door and make grunting and gasping noises.

One of the side effects listed for Ativan is suicidal thoughts or something like that. He prbly popped too many and just wasn't in his right mind. I've abused a lot of benzos in the past and that drug will make you do some crazy things. I'm sure he was already depressed but the benzo high just compounded everything in his head therefore causing him to make a very bad final decision.

I think that is just a legal "catch all" that is added to all anti anxiety or anti depressants. If you are depressed, the chances of you killing yourself are up exponentially already.

But I do see the point to that if you are in a real spiral they may exacerbate it. OR, if you've already made up your mind, I know I'd want a few meds in me to make the process easier.

I bet his wife is beating herself up about this. She probably knew something. Knew he had been down, but the tour must roll on. Why would you call his bodyguard and essentially tell him to kick the door down. And whatever she told him the bodyguard bought it, because he kicked down two doors with hotel security standing there.

If her story is true-- I'd imagine you'd be freaked out if your spouse who was a recovering addict with mental health issues was slurring their words and repeating that they just feel so sleepy and then unexpectedly hung up (and presumably didn't answer calls back or the door of his room)

As to the medication -- having known some folks that took anxiety meds... some can really throw you through a loop. I've heard more than one person tell stories of getting pretty crazy when taking it and their thoughts cleaning up drastically when getting off. I won't pretend to know at all what his medical situation was there... what he was prescribed, actually took or potentially mixed it with... but it could easily be a major culprit in the situation. Or it could've been a number of other things.

I like dark humor but that's incredibly lame. No effort at all.
