Coroner spokesman Brian Elias says they are investigating Bennington’s death as an apparent suicide but no additional details are available.
The group sold 10 million copies of their 2000 debut, “Hybrid Theory,” and then another 4 million with 2003’s multiplatinum “Meteora.” Both albums explored feelings of frustration and fury.
Bennington struggled with drug and alcohol addictions at various times during his life. He was married and is survived by six children.
