The Los Angeles County coroner on Thursday confirmed the death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bannister.

His body was found this morning in a private residence in Los Angeles and is believed to have hung himself.

Mike Shinoda, who also provided vocals for the band, confirmed the news on Twitter and wrote: “Shocked and heartbroken, but it’s true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.”

Linkin Park gave the world many a song and hit including the collaboration with Jay Z and their latest single, Heavy, that was focused on depression.
