Ugh, this one stings. Soundgarden's another one of those bands I was hoping I'd get around to seeing at some point, but put on the backburner because I figured they'd be around a long time - I didn't even realize they were in Detroit last night. Chris Cornell had one hell of a voice. RIP man.

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

This sounds more like the method that David Carradine died, rather than suicide.  Dead on the bathroom floor with a band around his neck?  That totally sounds like auto erotic asphyxiation.  They didn't say if he was clothed or not, so I'm going to speculate and say he was NOT.
