It’s Official: Don Cornelius Death Ruled Suicide

by Jacky Jasper

The Los Angeles coroners office has officially ruled the death of Don Cornelius’ as a suicide.

The ruling was announced Tuesday (February 7) by the agency, which determined the cause of the “Soul Train” creator’s death after conducting an autopsy on Cornelius’ body last Friday.

The Associated Press reports that foul play was quickly ruled out by police, who responded to the situation after Cornelius’ son alerted them after receiving a call from his father.

The television host died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head following years of health problems and going through a difficult divorce. On Saturday (February 4), about 100 fans remembered the broadcast pioneer by recreating a “Soul Train” line in Times Square. After 45 minutes of the crowd enjoying and participating in the gathering, authorities arrived to tell everyone to disperse.

I told you earlier that there was a strong possibility that Don C. was high when he killed himself. With that, investigators are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests before issuing a final report on Cornelius’ death.

    This just goes to show me that fame and fortune is not the end all, be all to having happiness in your life.
    Right now there is someone who we think has it going on and is happy with their fame and fortune, and the reality is that behind closed doors…. they are not. Yet they smile in the public’s eye, like life couldn’t be better for them.
