Chester Bennington showed the signs

Months before the unfortunate incident, Bennington had discussed his lifelong battle with demons in an interview. Having suffered molestation as a young boy, he also struggled with addiction, on and off throughout his life.

Losing his long-time friend and Soundgarden singer, Chris Cornell, had saddened him. He had admitted to having thoughts of committing suicide during an interview a few years ago — “throwing in the towel” — in his own words.
