A toxicology report obtained by TMZ shows that Chris Cornell had four prescription drugs, including Lorazepam (Ativan) and Butalbital, in his system at the time of his death. Pseudoephedrine, a decongestant, and Naloxone, which was administered by paramedics in an attempt to revive him, were also discovered.
According to TMZ, the report indicates Cornell took four 1 mg pills the night of his death. Cornell’s bodyguard told police he gave the singer two Ativans at about 11:30 pm, and his wife, Vicky Cornell, reported that her husband told her he took “an extra Ativan or two” in at phone call that took place five minutes later.
Vicky Cornell and other members of the singer’s family have disputed a medical examiner’s ruling that Cornell died of suicide by hanging, arguing instead that the additional Ativan may have triggered anxiety or paranoia that led to his death. In a statement released yesterday, Cornell and her attorney said they still had “unanswered questions” about the death.
“Many of us who know Chris well, noticed that he wasn’t himself during his final hours and that something was very off,” she said. “We have learned from this report that several substances were found in his system. After so many years of sobriety, this moment of terrible judgement seems to have completely impaired and altered his state of mind.”

Www.kiro7.com Says it was not the drugs. Hmm, what's going on with this?

Yeah I read that. No, the drugs didn't kill him.
But they likely created the condition/environment (along with an emotional state) for him to kill himself (meaning he didn't OD).
That's quite a mixture of drugs he had going on there.

It's also plausible that Chris staged the whole thing and is currently enjoying a relaxed time on an Island in the South Pacific.

Chris was a man of impeccable taste, fashion and culture and how dare you attempt to tarnish his memory by suggesting even as an example of what could be plausible that Chris would choose an Island in the South Pacific over let's say . . . Montego bay.
That is by far more disrespectful than some loon alluding to a murder mystery. At least they weren't insulting Chris' artsy and intelligence.
You watch your damn mouth when speaking of Chris (Mr. Cornell to you), pal.
