How did Chester Bennington die?
Suicide by hanging results from the constriction of the neck by a suspended noose, with the body's weight exerting traction. This action compresses the airway, impeding airflow to the lungs and causing asphyxiation. Furthermore, pressure on the carotid arteries and jugular veins cuts off blood supply to the brain, leading to rapid loss of consciousness and, within minutes, to the cessation of brain function and death. The combination of respiratory obstruction and circulatory disruption accelerates the fatal process.
