Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has died aged 41, LA County Coroner says.
The coroner said Bennington apparently hanged himself. His body was found at a private home in the county at 09:00 local time (17:00 GMT) on Thursday.
Bennington was said to be close to Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell, who took his own life in May.
Formed in 1996, Linkin Park have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and have two Grammy Awards.
The band had a string of hits including Faint, In The End and Crawling, and collaborated with the rapper Jay-Z.

Bennington leaves a wife, and six children from two marriages.
He is said to have struggled for years with alcohol and drug abuse, and has talked in the past about suicide as a result of being a victim of abuse as a child.
Bennington wrote an open letter to Chris Cornell on the latter's death, saying: "You have inspired me in ways you could never have known... I can't imagine a world without you in it."
Cornell would have celebrated his 53rd birthday on Thursday. He hanged himself after a concert in Detroit on 17 May.
Media captionLinkin Park announced a new world tour as they were inducted into the RockWalk in Los Angeles in 2014Band member Mike Shinoda confirmed the news of Bennington's death on Twitter: "Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one."
Tributes to Bennington flooded in soon after news of his death.
The band Imagine Dragons tweeted: "no words, so heartbroken. RIP Chester Bennington."
Grime artists Stormzy, who collaborated with Linkin Park earlier this year, tweeted: "Bruv I can't lie I'm so upset serious."

The Golden State Warriors, fresh off winning the 2017 NBA championship, have unanimously voted to skip their customary White House visit, per reports (that have yet to be confirmed). If true, this would mark an unprecedented political decision from a sports entity. However, if the Warriors do indeed decide to skip their visit, it would come as no great surprise given how Steve Kerr and many of the players have spoken out against the current administration throughout the season.
NBA champion Warriors skipping the White House visit, as a unanimous team decision per reports.

Again, the Warriors themselves have not confirmed the reports, so we don’t know for sure that this is happening. They very well could have made the decision last night or this morning, but don’t want to announce yet.
Of course, teams are in new territory these days. By potentially taking this type of stand, the Warriors are only staying true to what they’ve said in regards to Trump since the election. If they do indeed decide to skip their visit, it would not be surprising.

Twenty-two people, including children, have been killed and 59 injured in a suicide attack at Manchester Arena.
The blast happened in the foyer at 22:35 BST on Monday at the end of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande.
Police said the lone male attacker, who died in the blast, detonated an improvised explosive device.
Relatives are using social media to hunt for missing loved ones, and an emergency number, 0161 856 9400, has been set up.
Sixty ambulances attended the incident and those wounded are now being treated at six hospitals around the city.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said it was "the most horrific incident" Greater Manchester had ever faced.
He
said the "fast-moving investigation" was now working to establish
whether the attacker "was acting alone or as part of a network". Eyewitnesses described seeing metal nuts and bolts among the debris, and spoke about the fear and confusion that gripped the concert-goers.
Andy
Holey, who had gone to the arena to pick up his wife and daughter,
said: "An explosion went off and it threw me about 30ft from one set of
doors to the other set of doors.
"When I got up I saw bodies lying on the ground. My first thought was to go into the arena to try to find my family."

"We
were stood at the top of the stairs and the glass exploded - it was
near to where they were selling the merchandise," she told BBC Radio
Manchester.
"The whole building shook. There was a blast and then a flash of fire afterwards. There were bodies everywhere."
Teenager
Abigail Walker, who was at the concert, told the BBC: "I had to make
sure I had my sister. I grabbed hold of her and pulled hard. Everyone
was running and crying.
"We were just trying to figure where everyone was. It was absolutely terrifying."
Charlotte Campbell's daughter Olivia has been missing since the concert.
"She's only a 15-year-old girl, she's out there on her own because her friend has been found," she told the BBC.
"If anyone sees her contact me. Give her your phone and let her ring me. I just want her home."
Analysis: Gordon Corera, BBC security correspondent
The
UK threat level has been has been judged to be severe for nearly three
years - which means an attack is considered highly likely.
But in recent months the tempo of counter terrorist activity has been increasing with - on average - an arrest every day.
After
the attack in Westminster by Khalid Masood in March, police and
security officials have been warning that further attacks were almost
inevitable.
But they also believed that those were more likely to
be low-tech involving knives or vehicles. The fact that the Manchester
attack involved explosives will worry them.
It may not have been
at the level of complexity seen in Paris in 2015, when multiple
attackers sent from Syria used guns and suicide belts, but it will still
have required planning to make an improvised explosive device.
The explosion happened shortly after Ariana Grande left the stage as concert-goers began heading to the exits
The 23-year-old teen actress-turned-singer, who has a strong following among teenage girls and children, tweeted: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words"
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said it was "a barbaric attack, deliberately targeting some of the most vulnerable"
The prime minister is to chair a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee at around 09:00 BST
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the police presence in the capital would be stepped up
World
leaders have expressed solidarity with the UK, including French
president Emmanuel Macron, who called it "a murderous attack".

have established a help centre at the Etihad Stadium, access Gate 11,
for anyone who needs assistance in tracing loved ones.
Twitter has been flooded with appeals from relatives and friends of missing concertgoers via the hashtag #MissingInManchester.
Facebook also activated a safety check feature so that people can let their family and friends know they are safe.
The
blast happened close to the entrance to Victoria railway and tram
station. The station has been closed and all trains cancelled.
Police
also carried out a precautionary controlled explosion in the Cathedral
Garden area of the city at about 01:32. The force later confirmed it was
not a dangerous item.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said
the city would "pull together", adding: "That's what we are. That's what
we do. They won't win."
The Manchester Arena or MEN is the city's largest indoor venue with a concert capacity of around 21,000.
Police
are encouraging anyone with footage from the scene to upload it at

can be reported to the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.
