Then I saw that it was from Omar, and not only does he not post things in extremely bad taste like that, but he himself is a big fan of Cornell's. Still, I hoped that there was some kind of a mistake, or something, so I went to Google and typed his name in. The stories were flooding in, and suddenly, the sadness became powerful, throwing off my entire day! Such a tragedy, and such a loss for us all. He was a brilliant artist, and I was at a loss for words. Now, perhaps even more so, given that this was death by suicide. He hung himself, much like Robin Williams did a couple of years ago.

You and I both know what it's like to lose musicians who meant a lot to us, but as you pointed out many of them were more or less predictable – old age and/or severe depression, substance abuse issues, prolonged bouts with illness, etc. Whereas this didn't seem to be preceded by any glaring warning signs. Police are supposedly looking into the possibility of a suicide, based on a few headlines I saw on Yahoo Music.Some Guy in Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060966365329157247noreply@blogger.com
