Cornell took his own life on May 18 in Detroit. He was 52 years old and is survived by his wife and three children.
In October, Vicky questioned the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s ruling that Cornell’s death was a suicide. She has claimed that Cornell was taking drugs that may have played a role in his death.
“He didn’t want to die,” Vicky said in June. “If he was of sound mind, I know he wouldn’t have done this… My Chris was happy, loving, caring and warm. This was not a depressed man — it wasn’t like I missed that. What I missed were the signs of addiction.”
