A few days ago in the cemetery "Hollywood Forever", the burial ceremony of the body of Chris Cornell, frontman of the musical group Soundgarden, took place. At the farewell event with the artist came not only relatives, but also many friends and colleagues, among which one could see the movie star Brad Pitt, actress Courtney Love and many others.
Private ceremony without strangers
The Cornell family decided that the funeral ceremony would be private. Only relatives, friends and colleagues of the musician were allowed to go to her, while Chris's grave visit to the fans was allowed after all the stars had disappeared. It can be seen from the photographs that the guests are experiencing such an unexpected loss. Paparazzi managed to capture how Pitt could hardly restrain his tears, during speeches that were uttered during the burial. After the ceremony was over, and it lasted about 40 minutes, Brad talked with Courtney Love, who also knew the musician personally. True, what celebrities said to the press is not yet known, because Pitt, just like the other guests of the ceremony, refused to say anything to the journalists who were on duty near the entrance to the cemetery.
The only one who told the media a few words was the widow of the deceased - Vicky Cornell. Here are the words in her statement:
"I still do not believe that Chris left this world. I very much regret that I could not understand his condition before this tragic step. I'm infinitely sorry that I could not be with him the night he finished it. The police say that that night he was alone. Maybe it is, but I do not believe that it was actually Cornell. That Chris, whom I knew, could never leave this life as it happened. Let him rest in peace. I will endlessly love him. "Read also

Cornell committed suicide
Chris was found dead early in the morning on the 18th of May. His body was found by policemen with a loop around his neck in one of the hotel rooms at the MGM Grand Detroit after a performance in Detroit. The report, which was published in the press, said that Cornell's body had been found to contain tablets that could cause severe depression. Later Vicky suggested that they could provoke Chris thoughts of suicide.
Recall, Chris was born in Seattle in 1964. In 20 years he created one of the most popular groups of the city of Soundgarden, which became famous far beyond its borders. The inventions of Cornell's creativity were such celebrities as Brad Pitt, James Franco, Courtney Love, Christian Bay and many others.
