Police in Palos Verdes Estates released audio Monday to The Associated Press of a hired driver’s 911 call in the death of Chester Bennington.
The driver told authorities he had pulled up for a pickup at Bennington’s house and was alerted by a housekeeper that she had found Bennington’s body hanging in a bedroom. Her loud sobs can be heard in the background of the call.
The driver told police he had not seen the body himself.
Bennington was found dead last Thursday.
He was one of two lead vocalists for Linkin Park, who became one of the most commercially successful acts of the 2000s. They won countless awards, including Grammys, and their hits include “In the End,” ”What I’ve Done” and “Numb.”
