WASHINGTON: Rock star Chris Cornell’s cause of death has been determined to be a suicide by hanging.

The frontman for Soundgarden and Audioslave, 52, was found dead with a band around his neck inside his hotel room at the MGM Grand Hotel in Detroit following a concert, E! Online reported.

According to a statement issued by the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office, "The cause of death has been determined as hanging by suicide. A full autopsy report has not yet been completed."

It further read, "There is no additional information at this time."
