The 41-year-old was found dead in his home in Palos Verdes near Los Angeles shortly before 9am on Thursday.

The Los Angeles County coroner confirmed they were investigating Bennington's death as an apparent suicide but no additional details were available.

Law enforcement officials say Bennington hanged himself and he was home alone at the time.

He was found upstairs in his home by an employee.

The singer had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. He was married and is survived by his six children.

Rest In Peace Chester Bennington.

Holy shit. Chester really died. OMFG.
I thought this was fake and had to look it up.

Dude this is sad af. They where the first band that I got into when I was young.
I loved Chester. Dude WTF

I'm sure Linkin Park was there through a lot of our childhoods and even now. Chester and Mike were such legends in my opinion, and it sucks even more that he killed himself on Chris Cornell's birthday. It's always been a dream to see LP in concert, but they never come to my state

I can't stop crying...linkin park was my childhood band and got me through very tough times
