We're told Chester returned to Los Angeles on Wednesday from Arizona, where he and his wife were spending time together. She stayed in Arizona when his return resulted in suicide.
Our sources say one of his group members was spotted at Chester's house immediately after police arrived. He said he was going to drive Chester to a photo shoot and was just shocked.
The band was also planning to tour in a week, which made the suicide even more shocking.

I remember, right before the set, Chester noticed that I was nervous and said that he was sure that I would succeed every time. I was able to meet him, he was so positive and encouraging. He always had a smile on his face. I know that inside he was fighting the darkness, but I also know that those smiles were real. He loved his band. .The void he left behind in music will never be filled. Chester, I hope you find peace now, man. My thoughts are with your family.

I remember this moment now because that's what you are worth remembering: a voice for those who want to scream, who feel pain and. can't express it. You've been that voice for me since I was 11, and I've been honored to be your friend and share the stage with you, but I haven't had the chance to say thank you.
