Why so dubious, Cop?
I mean, Wikipedia doesn't merely list May 18th as his date of death, but also details that it was: (1) in Detroit, (2) following a performance, and (3) announced by a named spokesman.

Representative: Rocker Chris Cornell has died at age 52
By Nekesa Mumbi Moody, ap entertainment writer
May 18, 2017, 6:34 AM ET
Rocker Chris Cornell, who gained fame as the lead singer of the bands
Soundgarden and later Audioslave, has died at age 52, according to his
representative.
Cornell, who had been on tour, died Wednesday night in Detroit, Brian
Bumbery said in a statement to The Associated Press. Cornell had performed
a Detroit concert with Soundgarden that night.
Bumbery called the death "sudden and unexpected" and said his wife and
family were shocked by it. The statement said the family would be working
closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for
privacy.
News of Cornell's death prompted scores of tweets expressing sadness.
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry tweeted: "Very sad news about Chris Cornell
today. A sad loss of a great talent to the world, his friends and family.
Rest In Peace."
With his powerful, nearly four-octave vocal range, Cornell was one of the
leading voices of the 1990s grunge movement with Soundgarden, which
emerged as one of the biggest bands out of Seattle's emerging music scene,
joining the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
Formed in 1984 by Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Hiro Yamamoto,
Soundgarden's third studio album, "Badmotorfinger," in 1991 spawned
popular singles "Jesus Christ Pose," ''Rusty Cage" and "Outshined" that
received regular play on alternative rock radio stations.
Cornell also collaborated with members of what would become Pearl Jam to
form Temple of the Dog, which produced a self-titled album in 1991 in
tribute to friend Andrew Wood, former frontman for Mother Love Bone.
Three years later, Soundgarden broke through on mainstream radio with the
album "Superunknown," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was
nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Record in 1995. It included hit
singles "Spoonman," ''Fell on Black Days," ''Black Hole Sun," ''My Wave"
and "The Day I Tried to Live."
Soundgarden disbanded in 1997 due to tensions in the band, and Cornell
pursued a solo career. In 2001, he joined Audioslave, a supergroup that
included former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Brad Wilk
and Tim Commerford. The band released three albums in six years and also
performed at a concert billed as Cuba's first outdoor rock concert by an
American band, though some Cuban artists have disputed that claim.
Audioslave disbanded in 2007, but Cornell and Soundgarden reunited in 2012
and released the band's sixth studio album, "King Animal" in 2012.
Cornell also released four solo studio albums and a solo live album. He
also released the single "The Promise" in March on iTunes, with all
proceeds going to the International Rescue Committee, a global
humanitarian aid, relief, and development non-governmental organization.
In addition to his music, Cornell also became involved in philanthropy and
started the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation to support children facing
challenges, including homelessness, poverty, abuse and neglect.

How can you argue that Cornell was a nobody, Cathy?
You might figure I'm biased--having been on the radio up in Seattle 2005-2008--but even though Soundgarden had a couple catchy tunes, I was no fan particularly. Heck, I don't even like most of the grunge I hear here and there.
But I don't think ANYONE can dispute that the frontman for a onetime major signed act is major obituary news.

Never heard of him or OliveGarden.
I don't listen to contemporary music and I never heard his name in the regular news.
I wouldn't say a nobody but just someone I've never heard of until today.
I doubt many people over 50 have.

popular grunge band back in the 90's. There was a time when their
song Black Hole Sun was on just about every radio station. Think
about the grunge version of the theme from Titanic - over played 24/7.

Yikes!
The UK's Daily Mail is now reporting that it was an apparent suicide at 52, with Cornell found in a Motown MGM Grand hotel bathroom with "a band around his neck in a suspected suicide". And this was just a short while after his swan song with the recently-reconstituted Soundgarden, a version of the folk standard "In My Time of Dying'", a tune recorded or at least performed here or there by just about every rocker at some point, including, of course, Mr. Inscrutable himself, with the third track on his eponymous first record released in early 1962.

& Soundgarden. They had a daughter, Lillian Jean, born in June 2000.
He and Silver divorced in 2004. In Dec 2008, Cornell reported via
his official website that he had finally won back his collection of
15 guitars after a four-year court battle with Silver.
He was married to Vicky Karayiannis, a Paris-based American publicist
of Greek heritage. The union produced a daughter, Toni, born in
Sept 2004, & a son, Christopher Nicholas, born in Dec 2005. Cornell
converted to the Greek Orthodox Church through her influence.
When asked how Cornell beat all his addictions he stated, "It was a
long period of coming to the realization that this way (sober) is
better. Going through rehab, honestly, did help...it got me away
from just the daily drudgery of depression and either trying to not
drink or do drugs or doing them and you know, they give you such a
simple message that any idiot can get and it's just over and over,
but the bottom line is really, and this is the part that is scary
for everyone, the individual kinda has to want it...not kinda, you
have to want it and to not do that crap anymore or you will never
stop and it will just kill you."
In a 2011 interview, Cornell said the major change with the reformed
Soundgarden is a lack of alcohol: "The biggest difference I noticed...
and we haven't even really talked about it: There are no bottles of
Jack Daniel's around or beers. And we never talked about... it's
just not there."
Death
Late on May 17, 2017, Cornell died suddenly in Detroit after
performing at a show with Soundgarden according to his representative,
Brian Bumbery. Footage of the concert surfaced on YouTube the next
day.
The cause of his death is currently unknown, though Detroit Police
confirmed they are investigating Cornell's death as possible suicide.
