Chester Bennington bought house shortly before suicide
It's been revealed that Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington purchased his family a $2.5 million home shortly before his suicide.
According to TMZ, the singer bought the five-bedroom family home in Palos Verdes Estates, California, in June, but he sadly took his own life in one of the bedrooms last Thursday.
He was 41-years-old.
The online publication also reports the Bennington's closed the deal on the house just eight days after the suicide of Chester's good friend, Chris Cornell, leading the speculation that Chester's suicide was sudden and fuelled by his grief over Chris' death.
Following Chris' death, Chester penned a heart-breaking letter to him which he posted on his Twitter account.
He wrote: "Dear Chris, I dreamt about the Beatles last night. I woke up with Rocky Raccoon playing in my head and a concerned look my wife's face. She told me my friend had just passed away. Thoughts of you flooded my mind and I wept. I'm still weeping, with sadness, as well as gratitude for having shared some very special moments with you and your beautiful family. You have inspired me in many ways you could never have known. Your talent was pure and unrivaled. Your voice was joy and pain, anger and forgiveness, love and heartache all wrapped up into one. I suppose that's what we all are. You helped me understand that."
That theory falls in-line with claims from Chester's bandmates who said the musician had spoken excitedly about plans for the future.
Audio has since been released of the harrowing 911 call made after Chester's housekeeper discovered his body.

The call was made by the singer's driver as his housekeeper was too distressed to talk and can be heard wailing in agony in the background of the call.
