Cornell also received a moving tribute on Friday at the Columbus, Ohio, Rock on the Range Music Festival, where his band was scheduled to headline.

On Thursday, the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office told ET that Cornell's autopsy had been completed and the cause of death was ruled suicide by hanging, though Cornell's wife and lawyer have called the ruling into question.

"I know that he loved our children and he would not hurt them by intentionally taking his own life," Cornell's wife, Vicky, said in a statement.

“Without the results of toxicology tests, we do not know what was going on with Chris -- or if any substances contributed to his demise. Chris, a recovering addict, had a prescription for Ativan and may have taken more Ativan than recommended dosages," Pasich told ET in a statement. "The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions."
