Apparently. He was dealing with a lot of demons himself...it seemed as if he had found some peace recently but no one truly ever knows when it comes to celebrities.Quote

Didn't he sing at Chris Cornell's funeral?
TMZ is reporting Chester also hung himself.

Count how many alternative 90's rockers there are and how many have killed themselves and you'll see that no, it's not the norm.Quote

Is this just the norm now all these alternative 90's rockers killing themselves....

Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, a pretty prominent group I would say from that era...
Staley and Weiland didn't commit suicide, and Bennington is not even close to being in the same genre...Linkin Park is in the nu-metal genre from the late '90s/early '00s.Quote

Oh, I know...I just re-read the description of his body before I posted. The coroner ruled it accidental though.Quote

Staley did. He slowly killed himself thru drug intake and starvation. When he died this 6-foot tall man was weighting like 85 pounds...

There's a big distinction between explicitly committing suicide and dying from an overdose. Even in Staley's case, it wasn't technically a suicide.
Good point...playing with opiates is certainly flirting with killing yourself.Quote

True, but BamaStone didn't use the term "suicide"...he said "killing themselves".
You can argue that it wasn't intentional, but some of those heroin overdose victims were certainly flirting with the grim reaper.
