There's bunch of conspiracy stuff flying around. Bennington and Chris Cornell (who died few months earlier) were going to make a huge reveal about pedophiles in hollywood and in US music business and suddenly both drop dead. Both in the same way and in a situation where it's pretty weird to suddenly "hang yourself with a rubberband to a doorknob".fluffy_little_something wrote:No idea who he was, but there was a short note in the news, saying he killed himselfDistorted Horizon wrote:RIP Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)

Reminds me of that other 'conspiracy theorist' who committed suicide by shooting himself in the head ... twice.
Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Luis Bacalov, an Argentine-born composer whose lilting score for the international hit romance “Il Postino” earned him an Oscar, and whose ominous guitar melodies for dozens of Italian crime movies and spaghetti westerns were used in films by Quentin Tarantino, died Nov. 15 at a hospital in Rome. He was 84.
The Orchestra della Magna Grecia in Taranto, Italy, where Mr. Bacalov was principal conductor, said in a statement that Mr. Bacalov had suffered ischemia, a condition of restricted blood flow.
A wide-ranging composer and pianist, Mr. Bacalov’s scores for blood-splattered B-movies were complemented by works for the leading Italian directors Federico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini, orchestral compositions inspired by the Catholic Mass, Italian prog-rock records and a one-act opera, “The Mother Was There,” about women whose sons were killed in Argentina’s “dirty war” during the 1970s and ‘80s.
Mr. Bacalov was born near Buenos Aires but spent nearly all his working life in Italy, where he incorporated a twist of tango into works such as his score for “Il Postino,” about a lonely postal worker (Massimo Troisi) who delivers mail to poet and political exile Pablo Neruda (Philippe Noiret) on a tiny Italian island.
The film, which featured a gentle melody on the accordionlike bandoneon, premiered in Italy in 1994 and opened in the United States one year later as “The Postman,” introducing Mr. Bacalov to a mass audience that had eluded him for much of his career.
