Don Cornelius Commits Suicide

What a shocker. Soul Train creator Don Cornelius has apparently committed suicide at the age of 75. Here’s what little is known so far.

“Soul Train” creator Don Cornelius was found dead at his Sherman Oaks on home Wednesday morning. Law enforcement sources said police arrived at Cornelius’ home around 4 a.m. He apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing. The sources said there was no sign of foul play, but the Los Angeles Police Department was investigating.

“As always in parting, we wish you love, peace, and soul.”
