Chris Cornell's death is being investigated as a possible suicide, Detroit Police have told the BBC.
The singer died at the age of 52 after a concert in Detroit on Wednesday evening, his representatives announced.
In a statement, Cornell's representative Brian Bumbery said his death was "sudden and unexpected".
It also said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

"A family friend went to go check on him and observed him on the bathroom floor. The body was transferred to the medical examiner's office and the cause of death will be determined.
"It is being investigated as a possible suicide."
So much more than a grunge star

The show was part of a wider tour and the group had a number of live dates scheduled for later this month.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I donīt care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thatīs how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. - Rocky Balboa

Coming of age in the early 90's when grunge and the whole Seattle scene blew up, Cornell was a huge part of a new movement in music. I was a little saddened when I heard about this when I woke up today.
RIP to a great artist who felt he had no other way out.
Just been confirmed by medical examiners that he hung himself.
Man that's depressing to see an icon go down like that.

Depression / chemical imbalances in the brain are a helluva thing... imagine where you have to be mentally to kill yourself just hours after doing something any of us would dream of doing. Messed up... RIP to another grunge 90's icon.
this one hits hard. I loved that whole Seattle grunge movement and honestly was one the most frequent things I listened to growing up. Nirvana, Silverchair, Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Our Lady Peace.. etc..
His death being rules a suicide.. thats even worst news... hanging? Bathroom? Towel/Band
there's a very well known Japanese guitarist by the name of hide that died in a very similar way...
This makes me sad, I loved his music. He easily had one of the most iconic voices of rock.
Was a strange morning. I was talking about composers of James Bond songs with my coworker, and I was telling him how my favorite one was by Chris Cornell. Then I turned around to my computer and the first thing I saw when I opened my browser is that he had died. My heart dropped.
Why god? Couldn't you have taken Chad Kroeger instead?
With respect to rock singers it's quite a shame to lose both Scott Weiland and Chris Cornell within such a short time frame. Many of the first songs I learned to play on guitar were from Soundgarden.

I got up, read that Roger Ailes died, and was feeling sorry for him. His life quickly got turned upside down and his body likely gave out under the stress. Then I scroll down and see Chris Cornell has also died and I'm like: "Damn you world, I feel sorry for a POS and you take Chris too?!"
