Kanye West says Chester Bennington was MURDERED. Kanye claimed the Linkin Park singer was killed in a X post.
“It’s time to go get my children from the situation everyone knows their in
They killed that boy from Lincoln Park for this but I’m not letting my children be in this anymore
I will be dead before my kids be in Sierra Canyon in September.”
West’s allegations are unsubstantiated. In the years since Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington’s tragic passing in 2017, conspiracy theories have circulated online suggesting that he was murdered. However, these claims have been thoroughly debunked by experts and authorities, reaffirming that his death was the result of suicide.
Bennington, 41, was found dead in his California home on July 20, 2017. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office officially ruled his death as suicide by hanging. Toxicology reports showed a small amount of alcohol in his system but no illegal drugs.
Despite these findings, speculation emerged online, with some alleging foul play due to Bennington’s outspoken views on mental health and supposed connections to other controversial figures. However, law enforcement agencies found no evidence of a struggle or forced entry. Additionally, his close friends and family have spoken openly about his longtime battle with depression and substance abuse, which he addressed in numerous interviews.
Medical professionals and forensic experts have confirmed that all evidence aligns with a suicide, not homicide. While conspiracy theories persist in some circles, no credible evidence supports these claims. Ultimately, Bennington’s death remains a tragic loss, but the facts overwhelmingly support the official conclusion.
