Chris Cornell: Final Investigation Details Released, Foul Play Ruled Out

On May 18, the world awakened to the sad news that iconic Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell had passed away unexpectedly after performing at a concert in Detroit.  At first, conflicting reports emerged regarding Cornell’s cause of death , but eventually police and medical investigators were able to arrive at a definitive conclusion about the singer’s final hours. To the utter shock of his friends, family, and fans, Chris Cornell had taken his own life . The full results of the investigation , published today by The Detroit Free Press , paint a harrowing scene of a frantic wife enlisting the aid of a bodyguard to try and save her husband’s life from several hundred miles away. Vicky Karayiannis told police that her final conversation with her distraught husband led her to the conclusion that Cornell had fallen off the wagon after several years of sobriety. Fearing the worst, she called his bodyguard from her home in Los Angeles, and asked him to check on Cornell, explaining that the 52-year-old did not sound like he was okay.” Martin Kirsten forcibly entered Cornell’s hotel room, only to find that he was too late. The singer had hung himself with the aid of a mountain climbing clip and an exercise band. “I went inside and the bathroom door was partially opened, and I could see his feet,” Kirsten told police in a sworn statement published for the first time today. The investigation answers two lingering questions regarding Cornell’s final moments – namely, was he intoxicated, and was foul play involved? According to today’s report, Cornell did have several prescription drugs in his system at the time of his death, which may have contributed to his decision to take his own life. As for foul play, investigators have concluded that there is no reason to believe any second parties were involved in Cornell’s passing. Rumors that circulated on social media this week, seem to have been the result of photos from the scene of Cornell’s death that were recently published by TMZ. The images showed blood on the floor of the bathroom where he hanged himself, which many amateur sleuths took as a sign of a struggle. However, medical experts say it is not uncommon for hanging victims to bleed from their nose and mouth. Hopefully, the new information published today will help provide a modicum of closure to the many who are still grieving the loss of one of the music world’s great talents.

Big Brother Winners: RANKED!

Nineteen.  It's hard to imagine there have been nineteen winners in the history of Big Brother.  Whether they won competitions, floated along or manipulated their way to the finish line, all of the house guests below have won $500,000 as a result of coming out on top of this show.  But who was the BEST winner and why? Let's count them down! 19. Adam Jasinski Adam was a decent player, but he was part of the Winter edition of the series that was only on the air because of the 2007 Writer’s Strike. With bizarre changes to the format, it was the worst edition of the series. After winning the $500,000, Adam thought it was a good idea to use the money to fund his one drug ring. Yes, he’s the worst. 18. Lisa Donahue Lisa Donahue made some bold moves during her time in the house, but there’s no denying that Danielle Reyes played the better game. Danielle never won because the jury was bitter as hell because she got them all out. Lisa’s win paved the way for a rule change that meant the jurors were sequestered. 17. Steve Moses Steve was a genuinely nice person in the house, but his strategy did not match up to Vanessa Rousso’s. She had more competition wins, and manipulated everyone in the house. Steve pretty much coasted to the end, but because Vanessa was evicted at the final hurdle, he was in the final two with a less deserving winner. 16. Jordan Lloyd Jordan Lloyd only won because she was the nicer of the two at the end. She took Natalie Martinez. Jordan had a higher competition win, but Natalie was a solid strategist who fought for her survival every week. Unfortunately, Jordan didn’t really start playing the game until she returned for Big Brother 13. 15. Eddie McGee Eddie won Big Brother when it was a completely different show. He was a deserving winner of the initial iteration of the series. There was no strategy at that point, but he was a likable guy. 14. Maggie Ausburn Maggie Ausburn was part of the infamous “The Friendship” alliance. Some argued that she was protected throughout her time in the house. Others would say that she knew when to cause a scene. With just one HOH win, she is one of few winners who managed to float to the end with little wins. View Slideshow

Chris Cornell: Final Conversation with Wife Revealed, Chilling

A day after penning an open letter to her late husband , the wife of Chris Cornell has spoken in detail about the final conversation she had with the rocker. And she has revealed a number of chilling details in the process. On Wednesday, Cornell’s wife Vicky released a lengthy message to the late singer, who hanged himself in a Detroit hotel room earlier this month. “We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I’m sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night,” she wrote in a letter posted to Billboard.com, adding: “I’m sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. “Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.” Cornell had two kids with Vicky and a third child from a previous relationship. Meanwhile, on Thursday night, TMZ published excerpts from Vicky’s final conversation with Cornell , which the website reports took place by phone about a half hour before Cornell ended his own life. According to friends, Vicky says Cornell started slurring his words as he expressed anger over the set he had just played in Detroit. “They f-cked up again. They had 3 days to fix my in-ears and I was getting static. I couldn’t hear,” the artist complained to Vicky, adding over and over that “I blew my voice. I blew my voice.” Cornell then changed the topic abruptly, making very little sense to his wife. She could sense something was seriously wrong. “I need to know what you took tonight,” Vicky asked, well aware of Cornell’s history of drug abuse. You don’t sound right, sweetheart.” Replied the singer: “I was really angry and I just took 2 Ativan. I’m really pissed and I had to calm myself down.” But Vicky pressed for more information. She said it didn’t sound like Cornell merely took Ativan. She also made a point ahead of time of saying “I forgive you” for falling off the wagon. TMZ writes that Cornell grew “cocky and aggressive,” which prompted Vicky to flash back to 14 years ago when he almost died from an Oxycontin overdose. After Cornell continued to ramble incoherently, Vicky called the star’s bodyguard and demanded he go check on Cornell. The bodyguard eventually knocked down two doors to get inside Cornell’s hotel room… and that was when he saw the singer’s body hanging in the bathroom. In a disturbing new detail only just revealed now, Vicky was apparently still on the phone with the bodyguard when this horrible discovery took place. View Slideshow: Chris Cornell: Mourned, Remembered by Stars Everywhere “I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you,” Vicky wrote in her aforementioned open letter, concluding as follows: You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting. I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will. Always and forever, your Vicky. Insiders had connected with the investigation previously told TMZ that emergency technicians who responded to the scene  saw fresh track marks on Cornell’s arm. Vicky has said he wasn’t known to have used needles in his earlier substance abuse battles and she had just been walking with him the day before. She says he was in short sleeves and there were no signs at that time of track marks on his arms. It’s all very sad. We continue to send our condolences to the loved ones of Chris Cornell and we hope he’s resting in peace at last.
