Linkin Park Launches Suicide Prevention Site In Honour Of Chester Bennington

American rock band, Linkin Park has set up a suicide-prevention web page in honour of bandmate Chester Bennington, who reportedly took his own life.

Bennington was found dead last Thursday at his home in Los Angeles, California. The county coroner ruled his death suicide by hanging. He was 41, and left behind a wife and six children.

The website chester.linkinpark.com, features suicide prevention information including phone numbers for the US services Suicide Prevention Lifeline and Crisis Text Line.

The site also doubles as a place where fans can pay tribute to the singer.

The Los Angeles rap-rock band was set to begin a North American tour next week in Boston, but cancelled it.

Bennington had struggled with depression and substance abuse throughout his life. He also appeared to be deeply impacted by the loss of Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, who was his very good friend.

The Linkin Park frontman died on what would have been Cornell’s 53rd birthday.
