CHRIS CORNELL – What Really Happened In His Last Hour?

As the world awaits the pending toxicology results in the ruled ‘suicide by hanging’ death of SOUNDGARDEN vocalist Chris Cornell, TMD issues a step-by-step breakdown of the final hour of the singer’s life. These are all stated facts, according to eyewitness accounts, reputable news media, and the official police report. As well, there is more critical detail on the Cornell’s relationship history leading up to his marriage to Vicky and beyond. All of this has been done to help the reader get a more clearer understanding of why many believe foul play happened that night on May 17th, not suicide. Key questions are included in the analysis that assists the reader in looking at the case as if they were one of the investigators working the scene.

When police arrived on May 18th in the wee hours of the morning they missed crucial evidence that would have taken them down a much different path. It is TMD’s belief that they were unknowingly dealing with a murder victim, and the bodyguard fed them a brilliant ‘suicide narrative’ and had already staged the scene. This former military man who is very cunning was fully prepared to spin the story to the authorities. Remember, we are talking about Martin Kirsten. This is the same guy that was accused of breaking up a marriage between celebs Seal & Heidi Klum for which he was allegedly paid off handsomely to keep quiet about.

SOUNDGARDEN’s show at The Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan ended at 11:15 p.m. … the band with Chris were back at the MGM Grand hotel in another fifteen minutes.

Chris next is said to have been visited by the bodyguard Kirsten to help repair something on his computer and given two Ativan pills that he was prescribed for anxiety.

Where is the search of Chris’s computer to see if he was even using it as it has been told by Kirsten? If Kirsten indeed performed some kind of maintenance on it (ran anti-virus scan or whatnot) that can be easily tracked by turning on the computer and doing some basic investigating. This was never done by any detectives handling the case.

WAS IT THE PERFECT MURDER?

A source told Fox 2 News Detroit that Vicky called her husband’s bodyguard at around 11:35 p.m. to check on her husband after he hung up on her during a brief phone call moments before.

If this scenario is to be believed then there would have been only a five minute window for this supposed ‘computer repair visit’ that the bodyguard has gone on the record with police as stating happened leading up to when he actually found the singer dead.

Also, a routine examination of Vicky and Chris’ cell phone records that night would verify if that part of their story checks out.

Report on Wife says “Wife called Kirsten, bodyguard immediately after getting off the phone with Chris.” “Extremely worried about him and to check in on him.”

Was Vicky really worried? Or did she already know Chris was dead?

It leads one to believe that Vicky never did talk to Chris on the phone after the show and there was never a visit from Kirsten to fix a computer. It was a visit, yes… but perhaps not as friendly as he has gotten the cops to believe.

Purportedly, when the bodyguard opened the hotel room door at the MGM around midnight, Cornell’s deceased body was discovered lying dead in the bathroom with an object tied around his neck.

What if Chris was killed in the main part of his hotel room after he arrived back from the gig and then Kirsten the bodyguard dragged his strangled corpse into the bathroom where he then staged it as an intentional suicide by placing the red exercise band around his neck?

HE WAS NOT SUICIDAL

A source that spoke with Vicky said that Chris was “not, in any way, shape or form, in a suicidal state.” She added that there were no signs showing that he was depressed, either.

12:56 a.m. MGM medic, Dawn Jones, was on the scene untied the band from around Cornell’s neck and began CPR on the singer, who was not breathing, according to the report.

That’s because Chris had already been dead for nearly an hour and a half.

At 1:20 a.m., a short time later, EMS Unit 42 arrived on the scene and an emergency medical technician also tried to perform CPR unsuccessfully. By 1:30 a.m., Cornell was pronounced dead by a doctor on the scene; homicide detectives also arrived to investigate while an officer called Vicky Cornell to report on her husband’s death.

Investigate, huh? They reportedly asked the bodyguard a handful of questions and watched a video of the hotel security camera positioned directly outside Chris’ room. Sure, the police did not see anyone else come and go from the room but the bodyguard, because there was nobody else.

TMD has learned that there was indeed an adjoining room to Chris Cornell’s hotel room. Yes, that’s right, #1136 MGM Grand hotel room where Chris was found dead has a second means of exit. Amazingly the police missed this key detail in their examination of the crime scene.

(Pictured: Martin Kirsten)

Think about it. Kirsten kills an unsuspecting Chris by entering via the adjoining room that he would have had access to as well since he was the singer’s own personal security, right? After he chokes Chris out from behind (the singer more than likely did not see the attack coming, as to not give too much struggle), Kirsten slips out of the hotel room easily through the adjoining door. Is this when the phone call was next initiated by Vicky to Kirsten, to indeed check to make sure the job was done?

So he tells the police when he found Chris that he had to kick in the bathroom door. When he got the call next from Vicky “to check on her husband” it is TMD’s belief this was all part of the well planned cover up for him to next go pretend to find Chris ‘shockingly’ dead.

Furthermore, according to this post, the bodyguard was staying in the room two doors down from Chris.

A FAIRYTALE ROCK N ROLL ROMANCE & VICKY GOES “NUTS”

As the story goes, Chris met Vicky while on tour with his band Audioslave in France and he got engaged to her in a Paris bar soon after. She was given a Harry Winston diamond ring in 2003. The couple are reported to have celebrated by partying with models Adriana Lima and Eva Herzigova, along with actor Sean William Scott after she said “yes” to his proposal.

Chris and Vicky got married in 2004 in Paris, France.

“When I met my wife Vicky’s family, I had to go out of my way to convince them — to show them — that I wasn’t anything like their idea of a musician,” Chris told Details Magazine in 2012.

In 2012, it was reported that a former housekeeper of the couples’ filed a lawsuit against them for saying she worked over 40 hours in a week and never got paid overtime. In addition to that, she said that Vicky “verbally berated” her with insults before she fired her.

Elia Mora filed the lawsuit against the couple. She was hired back in 2006 to clean the Cornells’ residence. The lawsuit alleged that Vicky contacted Elia later in the day and demanded she come back to do more work. The maid declined, and Vicky allegedly “went nuts” on the woman and lost her temper. Mora claimed in the lawsuit that she worked over forty hours per week and never got paid any overtime.

THE FUNERAL, CHRIS GOT “LEFT ALONE”

Another big clue is at the funeral held for Chris Cornell this past Friday, Vicky left the urn holding his ashes in the cemetery. Yes, you read that right. Vicky buried his cremated ashes instead of taking them home with her. Wait a minute. What happened to “I will fight for you?”

Stop for a moment. Think. Would you not want your husband home safe where he belonged with his family?

The penned letter Vicky wrote and issued to the press, stating: “I’m sorry you were alone…” now seems to just be part of the cover up, doesn’t it? She only reiterated it for the public and police to consume, that Chris was alone.

Vicky cleverly took their focus off any other possibilities than that Chris was by himself. Everything had to fit their narrative just right if they were going to pull off the perfect murder.

As for the mention of track marks and past addiction, yes, Chris was an admitted addict of oxy and booze in the past – not heroin – but it’s what’s believable because there have been many of these types of high profile rock star overdose cases in the past, so that’s what TMD believes Vicky and the bodyguard used to help kill Chris. The bodyguard gave him the two Ativan earlier in the day and that is why Chris appeared to be acting a bit “off” during his final gig that night. Then after he was killed, it is TMD’s belief that Kirsten injected a ‘hot dose’ into the singer’s system.

So don’t be shocked when the toxicology comes back dirty for heroin. It’s all a part of the cover up.
