HARVEY: SO WE POSTED SOME
PICTURES YESTERDAY THAT WE GOT
FROM AUTHORITIES, THIS IS THE
DEATH SCENE WHERE CHRIS CORNELL
TRAGICALLY DIED OF AN APPARENT
SUICIDE.
IN FACT, THEY SAY IT WAS A
SUICIDE.
BUT THE PICTURES REALLY
TRIGGERED ENORMOUS INTEREST.
YOU KNOW HE HANGED HIMSELF IN
THIS HOTEL ROOM IN DETROIT AFTER
ONE OF HIS CONCERTS.
AND YOU SEE THERE IS A LOT OF
BLOOD --
CHARLES: THE EXERCISE STRAP
THAT HE USED TO HANG HIMSELF.
HARVEY: THERE WAS A LOT OF
BLOOD UNDER THE BODY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE STARTED
COMMENTING ON THIS.
THIS GOT ENORMOUS TRAFFIC ON OUR
WEBSITE YESTERDAY AND TODAY AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING --
CHARLES: A LOT OF PEOPLE --
HARVEY: FOUL PLAY.
CHARLES: FOUL PLAY OR THEY
THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME OTHER,
SOMETHING ELSE THAT CHRIS HAD
DONE IN COMMITTING SUICIDE THAN
JUST HANGING HIMSELF.
HARVEY: THERE IS LESS HERE THAN
MEETS THE EYE WITH THE BLOOD.
IT'S COMMONLY FOUND AT SUICIDE
SCENES WHEN IT COMES TO HANGING.
>> WE SPOKE TO PROFESSIONALS IN
THE FIELD AND WHEN THERE IS
TENSION OF BLOOD BUILDUP WHERE
THE LIGATURE MARK IS ON
SOMEONE'S NECK, THE BLOOD WILL
GO OUT THROUGH THE NOSE OR THE
MOUTH.
IT'S SMEARED WITH A LOT OF
PEOPLE RAISED QUESTIONS, LOOKS
LIKE SOME SORT OF STRUGGLE.
READING THE POLICE REPORT, THEY
GAVE HIM C.P.R., THEY ATTACHED
A.E.D. PADS.
HARVEY: THEY HAD MOVED THE BODY
AROUND TO TRY TO REVIVE HIM.
THAT'S WHY THE SMEARING
HAPPENED.
HARVEY: THE BLOOD COMES OUT
BECAUSE OF THE TENSION ON THE
NECK AND THEN WHEN THEY TRY AND
MOVE HIM AROUND TO RESUSCITATE
HIM, THEY SMEAR THE BLOOD.
>> RIGHT, AND REMEMBER THAT, I'M
NOT 100% SURE, BUT HE WAS ON
PRESCRIPTION PILLS AND A LOT OF
THESE THIN YOUR BLOOD, TOO.
THAT COULD BE WHY THERE WAS SO
MUCH.
CHARLES: THERE WERE OTHER
THINGS THAT ALSO ARE SEEN AROUND
THE ROOM IN PHOTOS THAT POLICE
TOOK AROUND THE ENTIRE ROOM.
YOU CAN SEE THERE WERE THREE
PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES IN THE
ROOM.
ONE WAS FOR PREDNISONE, ANOTHER
WAS AN ANTI-ANXIETY PILL, A
GENERIC ATIVAN AND WHAT WAS THE
OTHER ONE, BRAD?
BRAD: THE ONE IF YOU HAD ACID
REFLUX.
AND KIND OF THE MOST HAUNTING
PHOTO IS OF THE BED.
GUYS, YOU'LL REMEMBER HE ALWAYS
WORE YELLOW SUNGLASSES A LOT.
YOU CAN SEE A PAIR OF THOSE ON
THE BED.
CHARLES: THE GUITAR IN THE ROOM
AS WELL.
HARVEY: REMEMBER, HIS WIFE HAD
SAID THEY WERE ON THE PHONE AND
HE WAS ACTING STRANGE.
SHE REMEMBERED THE WAY HE WAS
ACTING FROM THE TIME A LONG,
LONG TIME BEFORE WHEN CHRIS WAS
HOOKED ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND
WAS SO ALARMED SHE CALLED THE
BODYGUARD.
HE BROKE THE DOOR DOWN AND
THAT'S THE WAY THIS WHOLE THING
UNFOLDED.
IT APPEARS THAT CHRIS WAS IN
SOME KIND OF A DELUSIONAL STATE
AND JUST TOOK HIS LIFE, WHICH IS
REALLY TRAGIC.
CALLER: HEY, HARVEY, MY
QUESTION IS FOR YOU.
WHY NOT?
WHY RELEASE THESE PHOTOS NOW?
IT WAS OUT OF SENSITIVITY, WAS
THERE FOUL PLAY, HOW DO YOU GUYS
FEEL ABOUT IT?
HARVEY: THE AUTHORITIES HAVE TO
RELEASE IT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
WHEN THE INVESTIGATION IS
COMPLETE.
CHARLES: THEY RELEASED A 911
CALL YESTERDAY.
YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE GETTING ALL
OF THEIR INFORMATION OUT THERE.
THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT POLICE DO
ONCE THEY COMPLETE THE
INVESTIGATION AND GET EVERYTHING
DONE.
