Suicide can be such an elusive and mysterious thing to try and understand. For someone to put on such a great show like that and then to end their own life just a couple of hours later is just mind-boggling to me.

Chris Cornell's widow says he was prescribed Ativan, which is used for seizures or anxiety...but a side effect is paranoia or suicidal thoughts, and can affect judgement. She also said he told her he may have taken one or two more than he should have which made it worse.

Using statistics shows over 90% of people committing suicides suffered depressive episodes before their death. And clinically depressed people have a mortality rate of 15% - by suicide.

But having this triggered by outside factors is plain evil.

Ativan withdrawal is a rougher thing than opiate withdrawal. Maybe he was having trouble with that. Long term use of any benzo can be very dangerous. Benzo abuse (Xanax,Valium, Ativan) doesn't get the attention in the media it needs. Mix in a little alcohol, and you have a very bad recipe for disaster.

Taking an extra Ativan isn't going to make him hang himself in the hotel bathroom. What she's really doing is trying to get the medical examiner to change the cause of death to 'accident' instead of suicide, so she can collect on the life insurance policy, which she can't do if his death is ruled a suicide.

She originally neglected to mention anything about slurred speech or his saying he might have taken an extra one or two Ativan. All she said was that he sounded fine and did not sound depressed or suicidal. Then, after the coroner ruled it a suicide her story changed.

I heard he was worth $60 Mil. I think she is trying to save face more than anything.
