The report confirms an earlier assessment from a local medical examiner who determined Cornell died from hanging.Īccording to the AP, Cornell was discovered with a resistance band that was around his neck and attached to the top of a bathroom door. The report, released Friday, revealed that the 52-year-old musician had drugs in his system when he died, including from anti-anxiety medication, but that those drugs did not contribute to his death, the Associated Press reported. Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell killed himself by hanging last month in a Detroit, Michigan, hotel room, a new autopsy report has confirmed.
