A hired driver had told the police that he had pulled up for a pickup at the Linkin Park frontman’s house when the housekeeper alerted him
Police in Palos Verdes Estates released audio on Monday of a hired driver’s 911 call in the death of Chester Bennington.
The driver told authorities he had pulled up for a pickup at Bennington’s house and was alerted by a housekeeper that she had found Bennington’s body hanging in a bedroom. Her loud sobs can be heard in the background of the call.
The driver told police he had not seen the body himself.
The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington’s death was a suicide by hanging.
Watch Commander Lt. Rudy Molano said an autopsy was conducted on July 21.
Coroner office spokesman Ed Winters confirmed last week that no drugs were evident in Bennington’s room.
Bennington was found dead on Thursday on the 53rd birthday of Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, who hanged himself in May. Cornell and Bennington were friends.
