'Soul Train' Creator Don Cornelius Dead of Apparent Suicide

'Soul Train' creator Don Cornelius found dead of apparent suicide. Hey everyone this is Ani Esmailian for Hollyscoop. 75 year-old Don was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, California home early Wednesday morning of an apparent suicide. So tragic. He is believed to have taken his own life as he died from a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the hospital but was announced dead shortly after. What would prompt him to take his own life? According to some court documents, he's been complaining of "significant health issues" for several years now. "Soul Train" changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006. Rest in peace Don, your legend will surely live on.

@59zory Why does suicide bother you.A person has a right to end their own lives if they think that is what is best for them.Lots of elderly people commit suicide because of health reasons and that's sound like what Don Cornelius did.

What would prompt him to take his life: That evil white woman

I suspect that she killed him... just like Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain.

Clooney needs to run a clinic for stupid famous dudes entitled, "Fuck them, Don't Marry Them."

The Facts: Don is Dead and his ex-wife is now a wealthy woman...hummmmm!!!!

I don't have a problem with the black white thing. The Bible says let every man be convicted in his own heart. it's the Suicide that bothers me the most about his death.

Don Cornelius, you brought Black Americans good times. However, I do have a problem with brothers talking black and sleeping white.

Peace, Love and Sooouuul..............

I know alot of black men who says that black women are gold diggers than white women. What black men do not realize is that they are gold diggers themselves. Many of them use white women and white women let them use them. I know black men who admit that it is a SEX THING with white women. When it come to sex, she is ready.

If it is true, I wonder why Don Cornelius wanted to hurry up and finalized his divorce with the white chick.

Thanks NowLater 111

Today, interracial relationships between black men and white women are increasing than ever. Poor and rich black men are getting white women. The slave mentality is not gone. Every Sunday, black people pray to God in beautiful ways. We still come to our communities all $%$* up. So-called Jewish people live well and many of them are agnostics. Minister Farrakhan said that OJ Simpson was not sold out he was drawn out.
