More details of Bennington's death revealed
Linkin Park's lead singer Chester Bennington has died.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office says it received a call that Bennington had been found hanging at his family home.
Bennington had opened up in recent years about his troubled childhood in Arizona.
He said he suffered years of sexual abuse from a family friend and turned to alcohol and hard drugs after his parents divorced when he was 11.
Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.

Fans are devastated at the news of Bennington's death in an apparent suicide.
He was 41 and is survived by six children.
Tributes are pouring in from across the globe for Linkin Park lead singer, Chris Bennington.
Depression is hard to understand. But if it can kill Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington I'd say it's pretty damn real.
