Chris Cornell’s funeral to be held in Los Angeles

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell’s attorney, Kirk Pasich, said the body of the legendary musician will be flown to California and a private funeral will be held on May 26.

The singer, who died in Detroit early Thursday, will be buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in LA. Although the Friday service is private, his attorney said that public memorials will be announced “when that’s been decided”, reported a website.

 The medical examiner from Wayne County recently confirmed that Cornell committed suicide by hanging. However, his family on Thursday questioned the report, noting that he had a prescription for Ativan and may have taken a higher dosage that impaired his judgement. “Without the results of toxicology tests, we do not know what was going on with Chris—or if any substances contributed to his demise,” the family said.
