Chris Cornell had ‘several prescription drugs’ in his system at the time of death.
The toxicology report shows he had several prescription drugs in his system when he committed suicide in his Detroit hotel room last month.
TMZ obtained the toxicology on Friday, and it showed the Soundgarden frontman had traces of Naloxone (a narcotic overdose remedy), Butalbital (sedative), Lorazepam (Ativan), Pseudoephedrine (decongestant) and barbiturates in his system.
His widow Vicky previously said Cornell’s thoughts of self-harm may have been attributed to taking too many of the prescription drug Ativan, which is used to treat anxiety.

In a statement following the release of the toxicology results, Vicky said, “Many of us who know Chris well, noticed that he wasn’t himself during his final hours and that something was very off.
“We have learned from this report that several substances were found in his system. After so many years of sobriety, this moment of terrible judgement seems to have completely impaired and altered his state of mind.
“Something clearly went terribly wrong and my children and I are heartbroken and are devastated that this moment can never be taken back.”
