Terrible loss...LP was one of my fav bands even if every new album of theirs got weirder...Hybrid Theory, Meteora and some songs from each of their newer albums was still something that made them great.
Now I cant listen to any of their songs anymore because the lyrics scream suicide and Chester followed through.

Yeah, events do kinda put a hidden , well even if not meant, a subconsciously theme. A few songs that seem to fit a tad too well for being without cause to notice.
I was only listening to them today before I ever saw this too.

He had a really tough life, physical and sexual abuse, alcohol and substance addiction, if his lyrics seem to convey ideas of suicide, I'd guess it's because it's been a constant for many years.

Phone was being a tad harder to read article, but this seems to coincide with a friends Birthday who also killed self from what it said on article.
Plus past, I think its a safe assumption that sadly his mind was not in a good place.

Yes, how did we miss George Romero's death? Shame on us! Good call, Easy E. No Walking Dead, Zombicide, 28 Days Later or any of the other wonderful zombie settings without that legend's work on Night of the Living Dead.
Just saw this story about Chester Bennington. I hope this is all some bs troll hack job, because if not jeezy petes.
UPDATE: 1:12 am EDT – Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington's wife Talinda Ann Bentley took to Twitter once again early Friday, moments after deleting her tweets in which she confessed to cheating on her husband with bandmate Mike Shinoda.
In the latest tweet, Talinda said she “encouraged him to kill himself I told him no one cared.”
It is unclear whether Bentley's messages were an emotional outburst or if her Twitter account was hacked.
Original Story:
In a shocking turn events in the apparent suicide of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, his wife Talinda Ann Bentley confessed on Twitter that she was cheating on her husband with band member Mike Shinoda.
"I guess this is the time to say it but I have been cheating on Chester with Mike Shinoda....," Talinda wrote. "I never really loved him and I'm not hacked I just was in love with the money hurts to say," she said in another tweet. However, the tweets were immediately taken down.
Bennington's wife not only revealed that she was cheating on her 41-year-old husband but also fuelled rumors about his untimely death. “He didn’t kill himself, he was already did [sic] before he hung himself, I have proof..,” she wrote.
Bennington hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates, California, where his body was found. He is survived by his six children, Jaime, with former girlfriend Elka Brand, adopted son Isaiah, son Draven with first wife Samantha Marie Olit, and children Tyler Lee and twins Lily and Lila with his second wife, Talinda.
Mike Shinoda, an original founder of the band in 1996, is married to author Anna Hillinger since 2003 and the couple have two children together. The 40-year-old had earlier paid tribute to the late singer, saying he was "shocked and heartbroken" by Bennington's death.
Shinoda produced and co-wrote much of Linkin Park’s music and was also part of the band's latest album, “One More Light,” which was released May 19. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Shinoda has not yet responded to Talinda's tweets or about the alleged cheating.
Talinda's now-deleted tweets early Friday were the first time she spoke out following the death of her husband, who had been fighting drug and alcohol abuse. While the tweets did raise some eyebrows, it is unclear if there was any conspiracy behind his death.
Bennington got involved with drugs before he was a teenager. “I started using drugs when I was 11,” he had said previously. “I definitely wasn’t making records at that time. I was exposed to it really young and there were a lot of things that happened to me as a young person that were really difficult for me to deal with. I found myself alone a lot.”
This is a developing story.
Okay, it looks like this may be a hack. Sorry, wasn't intending to spread bad information.
Hours after news broke that Chester Bennington had died, Hackers targeted the Twitter feed of Talinda Bennington, the Linkin Park singer’s widow.
Seven messages were posted from the account, each making accusations that Talinda only “married for the money” and was having an affair with Linkin Park band member Mike Shinoda.
Soon after being poster, the messages were removed, but only after dozens of fans took screen shots and retweeted them hundreds of times.
Bennington reportedly killed himself on Thursday, 20 July. The singer’s body was found in a Los Angeles Area residence just months after his good friend Chris Cornell hung himself.
Linkin Park were best known for releasing the iconic albums Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and Minutes to Midnight, the latter two reaching number one in numerous countries around the world.
Some Tweeters seemed unsure about the authenticity of the messages, thinking they could be real, while the majority criticised the hacker for their disgusting behaviour.
If this was a hacker that person needs to be curb stomped.

Aww, shame. I'll always remember John Heard as the dad from the Home Alone movies mainly, although I've seen him in lots of stuff. RIP.

Not really a big-time celebrity but YouTube Fitness star Rich Piana died recently at age 46. Presumably connected to either steroids or drug abuse. He never crossed over into mainstream media, but if you've been to any fitness related website more than once you've probably heard of him...or seen one the many memes. He did have nearly one million subscribers and several videos over 10 million views.

Len Wein has passed away at the age of 69, after recently undergoing what was believed to be successful surgery.
Co-creator of the All-New All-Different X-Men with Dave Cockrum including Nightcrawler, Storm and Colossus, as well as co-creator of Wolverine before at Marvel, and at DC Comics co-creator of Swamp Thing, and who hired Alan Moore for the character, he wrote and edited so many comic books in his decades working on the medium – including editing Watchmen. He was one of the most influential people in modern day comics books, with his best-known characters now earning billions in the movies. He also appeared in a cameo role in X-Men: Days of Future Past, was an editor at Disney Comics, wrote for video games and television, and so much more.
Len Wein’s career began in comic book fanzines and initially tried to get work in comics as an artist before deciding writing was his strength. His first professionally published work was for Teen Titans in 1968, before working on a range of genres for DC and Marvel, when the comics field was a little wider than it is now. But he would write well favoured runs on Batman, Justice League and Daredevil before co-creating Swamp Thing with Bernie Wrightson, spent a year as editor-in-chief at Marvel before co-creating Wolverine for the Hulk and then, with Dave Cockrum, introducing Wolverine into the revival of the X-Men which turned an unappreciated superhero property into one of the biggest superhero franchises of all time.
He then moved to DC to write and edit so many books through the eighties, including working with the man he had hired to take over Swamp Thing on a certain comic called Watchmen. He also revived and rebooted Wonder Woman with George Perez, revived Blue Beetle and wrote the Legends series.
He moved West to become editor-in-chief of Disney Comics for three years before writing animated series, often including superhero characters such as X-Men, Batman and Spider-Man. And he kept writing comics as he saw his creations gain worldwide fame and fortune. Recently that also included Cottonmouth, the bad guy from the recent Luke Cage TV show. He also returned to DC Comics to write Before Watchmen, including Ozymandias, fixing a plotline that had seen him leave Watchmen thirty years before.

Those, and a lot of junk and garbage. That being said, he was a horror directing Icon! He also gave pretty good interviews.
I was sad.
Same here, funny story, as a young kid I used to tell people my fave movie was TCM just for the shock value, Id never seen one other than the cover of VHS rentals. Then years later as a teen I figured ahh what the hell lets see if this garbage is worth anything. And to to this day Im still a huge TCM fan, even the new remakes and such I watch, I just love that gritty dark style and Leatherface is such a cool bad guy. Except number 4 with Matt mcconaughey and Zellwegger, yeesh thats a bad movie and not even so bad its good. Its just bad.
Anywho Im rambling and I know Hooper wasnt part of that franchise after 2 but still, thats a fun memory he has a part in

I'm not too familiar with his work, but I did enjoy every scene he had in Twin Peaks.
