- — Nardine Saad

The toxicology findings in Soundgarde­n frontman Chris Cornell’s death indicate that the singer had several prescripti­on drugs in his system when he was found hanged in his Detroit hotel room, a new report said Friday.

Hours after his May 18 death, the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office declared that the ’90s grunge icon had committed suicide by hanging, which his family has disputed.

According to TMZ, the vocalist, who died at age 52, had naloxone (Narcan), sedative butalbital, about four 1 mg lorazepam tablets, the decongesta­nt pseudoephe­drine and barbiturat­es in his system.
