Hoax claims that Chris Cornell & Chester Bennington were murdered trying to expose 'child trafficking' in the industry

International media is now allegedly stating that Chris Cornell (Audioslave) & Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) did not commit suicide, but were allegedly murdered. 

The article, by the name of 'Police: Chester Bennington Was Murdered', draws on similarities between Chris and Chester's suicides, and has quoted unnamed police sources to draw a 'murder conspiracy link' between the two deaths.

The article claimed that detectives were looking into the case, to find out whether it was an actual suicide, or a murder scene later arranged to resemble a suicide.

"They have put a team of investigators in place and are refusing to rule out a criminal homicide charge," the article further stated.

Bennington of Linkin Park, himself openly stating that he had been a victim of child (sexual) abuse, had been working with Cornell's foundation to prevent 'sexual exploitation' of children, and they were allegedly close to exposing numerous 'NOTORIOUS PEDOPHILES' operating at a high level within the entertainment industry, it was further added. 

"Investigators believe that the deaths of Cornell and Bennington-who died on his Cornell's birthday-may be linked," the article stated.

It was claimed that the pair had been silenced before they could follow through on their noble mission of exposing the industry.

The article that was shared on YourNewsWire.com was later stated to be a hoax, but alot of other media platforms took onto the story, to leave it to the readers to form their own opinions.

"There is no evidence that Bennington or Cornell were murdered in an effort to cover up a PEDOPHILE SEX RING," a popular International media platform claimed.

Investigator Randy Cody is among those questioning the suicide ruling, according to sources.

He points to 'PERCEIVED TIMELINE GAPS', forensic questions and what he allegedly claimed was a 'HEAD WOUND' that Cornell had, which had not been mentioned in the autopsy reports.

In a post on 22 May 2017 post, Cody claimed that Cornell was murdered because he was about to expose pedophiles involved in 'PizzaGate', a conspiracy theory holding that a child sex trafficking ring linked to Hilary Clinton was being run out of Comet Ping Pong, a Washington DC Pizzeria.

It was later claimed that YourNewsWire was not a reliable source of information-they regularly post articles on 'unfounded conspiracy theories'. There is no evidence that Bennington or Cornell were murdered in an effort to cover up a 'debunked pedophile sex ring'.
