Oh shit
If that's true I'm basically never going to be able to listen to Superunknown again.
If it was suicide it feels a bit like when Gary Speed died, seemingly fine and then all of a sudden he's taken his own life.
Was there any history of depression with Chris Cornell?

Yeah it's what is being reported by majority of sources.
Or Robin Williams. Appeared fine, acted in his last movie in which he played a pissed off dying person (I think it was his last movie) and then he is gone.
Very shocked to hear of his passing. R.I.P.
Oh wow, that's a shock.
Saw him live once at some random festival, he was class.

Huge loss. What a voice. What a songwriter. Played the hell out of Superunknown and Badmotorfinger when I was in high school. Massive shame.
52, crazy. Going to rewatch Pearl Jam Twenty
52 is no age to go, he had such a powerful voice too.
I wasn't lucky enough to see Soundgarden live but did see Audioslave.

RIP. One of the greats. Will be missed
This sucks. i was pretty shocked to see this morning. Now it seems there are reports it may be investigated as a suicide which is even more tragic if it turns out that was the case. Highly talented guy.
Woke up to this. Horrible news. RIP. Layne, Scott and now Chris. All gone.
I can't believe it's a suicide
Dont want to believe it at all.. one of my favorite vocalists.
It's all incredibile if is a suicide:
1. Rich
2. Beautiful man
3. Talented
4. Beloved by fans and critics
5. Has a family
Can't see any reason, and any plausible explaination
Only explaination could be an heavy depression caused by some inner mental disease, or drugs abuse.

Struggled with drugs and alcohol in the past.

Heard some people talking about this earlier and hoped I'd misheard. Very sad news. I loved Superunknown and Down on the Upside in particular.
Bonkers that he died while I am in Seattle for my first ever visit.
Yeah, confirmed. Like Cobain and Staley
Terrible
This is a really hard thing to get your head around. Usually you expect someone to take this drastic course of action after an obvious, debilitating bout of depression. It's hard to imagine how he went from posting in an upbeat manner about a show one night, to performing the show to taking his life a few hours later. Feeling for his family, apparently he had three teenage kids, how do they come to terms with this? It's devastating.
Stayley didn't commit suicide. It was an OD.Yeah, confirmed. Like Cobain and Staley
Yeah, true. 3 deaths like proper rock stars though.
He looks dead inside.
Agreed
Yeah, its tough to accept - big, big fan of him and a lot of the Seattle sound. He battled depression all his life, just goes to show money & success doesn't cure or solve everything in life. Anyone who has been around people depressed knows, sometimes there is nothing you can do for them
What a talent, what a voice and what a generous contributor to music

You forgot Scott Weiland. He overdosed a few years ago. There is only Vedder left now as a singer from the biggest Grunge outfits
That's pretty eerie isn't it. He's clearly unwell, be it drugs or whatever. He's so far behind the rest of the band that they have to slow down for him, and even then it's still noticeable. He looks right at the camera at 1:54, to think he'd be dead just hours later.
I'd assume this is leading towards a similar fate of Carradine/Hutchence at this point......and have thought that since the second they revealed a "band" round his neck. But obvious speculation, never know who truly has demons hidden away.
Best James Bond song of all time.
