Pri 41 letih je umrl pevec priljubljene skupine Linkin Park Chester Bennington 
. Kot poroča ameriški spletni portal TMZ, si je sodil sam, in sicer ga je mrtvega v njegovi sobi našla gospodinja.
Chester se je pred kratkim vrnil iz Arizone, kjer je počitnikoval z ženo Talindo Ann Bennington, ki pa je še ostala tam. Pevec je imel šest otrok – 21-letnega Jamieja, 19-letna Isaiaha in Dravena, 11-letnega Tylerja Leeja in sedemletni dvojčici Lily in Lilo. Otrok v času njegovega samomora ni bilo v hiši.
Chester se je dolga leta boril z odvisnostjo od alkohola in mamil, tudi zato, ker je bil v otroštvu spolno zlorabljen, o čemer so govorile nekatere njegove pesmi. Od njega so se poslovili številni glasbeni kolegi in drugi zvezdniki.
