It's easy to point fingers and say that he's a coward but I disagree. Sometimes life gets overwhelming and people feel as if suicide is the only way out. Living that lavish celebrity life style a lot of the time leads to drug dependency and it can fuck with your head. He had the courage to actually check out and it's not that I'm praising that as a good thing, but a coward wouldn't be able to actually pull it off. He's his own man and he decided to check out. I don't generally agree with suicide but that was his choice. I don't think he's a coward.

I was really shocked when I heard about it. I didn't think Chester was the type to do this. He must of fallen in the rabbit hole and couldn't get himself out of it.
It's sad. Linkin Park were a big part of my life when I was younger, and even now I still love their music. I was shocked when I found out. He must have been through hard times. I think a person who commits suicide has to be really hopeless and lost. I don't support suicide, but I respect him.
He was probably going through a depression. People don't realize the power that fucking thing can have over your mind and soul. It consumes you. I don't think he's a coward at all, I just think he was going through a lot and he decided to end his life. I don't support suicide, I don't think people should do it, but I kind of understand where he is coming from. He is not a coward.

Damn... this is the first I'm heading of it. The internet will be set aflame soon. But yea I generally agree with you - suicide only helps to make everyone close to you feel even worse.
dude listen to their songs. like half of them have lyrics that can say this was previsible. chester was struggling with depression since so many years and the suicide of chris cornell didn't help him. i really respect them and i was sad when i learned what he did but i wasn't surprised. what surprises me is the fact that nobody really helped him when they could had saved him from his own demons. he was screaming and asking for help...
when a person is alone and does not find any path or support he does that but it's a wrong thing to be done. life has many ups and downs it's our strategy that how v handle the situation and if v loose our strength then ntn can be done. sadness and happines r for limited period it never stays for long period of time.
I'm with you... I'm sad because I also really liked him as a singer, but can't say I'm totally surprised since I always thought he was kind of awkward when not singing. Built a career in music, earned plenty of money and fame, married with six children, but guess life never gave him the most important.
i think he did it to coincide with chris cornell from soundgarden n audioslave. he was majorly depressed when it happened. he probably got reminded of it this year and it pushed him over the edge. I'm willing to bet the autopsy will find that chester wasn't sober.
I'm extremely saddened by this. A friend told me by text in a store and I think I just stopped walking and stood still for a solid minute. He was a great singer and great band leader and wonderful guy. You will be missed Chester!
Also, today is the would be birthday of Chris Cornell his longtime friend who commuted suicide in April or may. I'm sure that played a role in things... you will be missed. Thanks for all the great music!
I always get thrown off when I hear of someone famous or someone I know commits suicide - I must admit I was watching MTV this morning and saw tribute come up and went "Chester Who?" only figuring out when news scrolled across bottom, I was feeling okay but then went on a bit of a downer - I don't know I sometimes think if it could happen to them, it could happen to me or someone really close to me.
I think celebrities who kill themselves, are the lowest level of pathetic. I think it is just fame and money desensitizes you so much you can't even cope with trivialities anymore. There are hundreds of millions of people with clinical depression who have ACTUAL real world issues and nowhere near the resources celebrities have to solve them and they just don't off themselves.
Isn't this one of those bands where every song is about suicide and depression?
Like The Cure?
Don't they have songs about kids cutting themselves and what not? I don't know this band, but I distinctly remember some controversy from a while ago, parents accusing this band of promoting suicide or something.

It's sad. I use to think suicide was taking the easy way out also. But now realize those people are struggling so much. Imagine how much pain they must be in that they can't see any other way out. Have some compassion...
DAMN !! I browse through GAG and see this... Really sad news. This band was and still is one of many bands I like to listen to from time to time. Really shame because I liked them a lot.
From the other side of things we can learn that fame doesn't always bring happines, I can tell you as much as that.
Very sad. I met him at the movies a few years back, he was such a nice guy. Please seek help if you or someone you know is suicidal, there are many resources out there. Tragedies like Chester's can be prevented.
God... I wish I could have met him. I will seriously miss him. They've been playing Linkin Park on the radio all day and making me cry in the car!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
If he was your most beloved idol you really could have some idea of what he's been through. Molested as a child, alcohol and drug addiction, depression, being stalked, divorce. It's a miracle he made it until 41. Stop judging. You don't know what another person is going through. You don't know whats going on in someone else's mind.
I'm not judging him particularly. It my opinion that anyone who commits suicide, initiates cowardice. Every. Single. Person has one's issues in life. No one gets it easy.
I don't know. Considering how you make assumptions in the face of living people, I cannon imagine what you talk about the people behind their back especially the ones who are dead.
Talking shit about dead people is not wrong if they are criminals or sinners.
His kids'll be fine, he had tons of hit records, I bet he's set up trust funds, those kids'll never have to work a day in their lives. I had a misseriable childhood because my father was always in debt, the bank were always threatening to for close and make us homeless and my mother was always screaming abuse at my father for not earning enough money. I'd rather be the son of a dead millionaire than a living failure.
I feel like you have to be pretty fucking ignorant of the world to buy into this "there's a will there's a way" "life is an opportunity" bullshit. You think the people working in sweatshops for 14 hours a day to make $1 can just go out and better their lives? don't you think they would have fuckingbdone that by now if it were so easy? Sure for most people it's possible for things to get better but they don't always have the tools to do that by themselves. I think it's pretty fucking arrogant of you to think that everyone just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or else their a coward.

I thought this year is going to be the best year of the 2010 decade. But I just lost my man ðŸ˜

And yea, I get ya. Linkin park, him in particular, used to be my jam when I was a teen.

I don't know if the band promotes suicide but a lot of their songs are depressive yeah so it's not really surprising.
sad.

"shows that money and fame don't necessarily equal happiness"
Yeah, it teaches us that happiness and internal peace are kind of invaluable things. Nothing can buy these.

You speak like somebody who does.
Ok make assumptions about people you don't even know. You're not doing anything better by "judging" me.
I don't talk shit about dead people.
