Chester Bennington’s Son Says Singer Was “Undercover” And “Hated The Clintons” Before He Died
Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington’s son claims his father and Chris Cornell were “undercover” before both of their deaths.
A new video featuring Jaime Bennington, son of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, has reignited suspicions about the rock icon’s tragic death. In the resurfaced clip uploaded to TikTok, Jaime shares a chilling recollection of his father’s words before he died.
“When Chester died, he had told me that he had been around the Clinton so much, that he was physically disgusted, that the guys in the band loved the Clintons, but he hated them,” he said.
“In fact, he said to her, you'll be proud of me when I finish what it is that I've started. I'm undercover with my buddy Chris, and even though I can't tell you what I'm doing because you may lose your life, you'll be so proud of me.”
Chester Bennington was found dead on July 20, 2017, in his Los Angeles home. The official report ruled it a suicide by hanging. But the circumstances have raised eyebrows ever since. He died on what would have been his best friend Chris Cornell’s 53rd birthday – just two months after Cornell himself died, also by hanging, in a hotel bathroom in Detroit. There was no suicide note in either case.
In both instances, the men were reportedly found hanging from doors: Bennington from a door between his bedroom and closet, Cornell from a door between the bedroom and bathroom.
Cornell and his wife had launched the Chris & Vicky Cornell Foundation in 2012 to help protect homeless and abused children. Given the depth of their friendship, many assume Bennington had some involvement – even if unofficial – in the foundation’s work. Combine that with Bennington’s history of childhood abuse, and it’s easy to imagine him caring deeply about such causes.
Bennington was open about the pain he carried. He once said, “I was getting beaten up and being forced to do things I didn’t want to do. It destroyed my self-confidence.” He blamed his substance abuse issues on being molested as a child. That kind of trauma doesn’t fade – and for someone whose music was often soaked in raw emotion, it was part of what made him relatable to so many.
An investigator from The Local Malibu, a group known for challenging official narratives and tracking government corruption, reportedly interviewed Chester’s mother, Susan Eubanks. She said, “I don’t believe Chester killed himself. If he did…I am convinced someone coerced him to do it, or worse.”
One of the more disturbing theories centers on Linkin Park’s logo, which “conspiracy theorists” claim resembles a broken variation of the “Boy Lover” triangle, a symbol allegedly used by child predators. Far-fetched or not, it’s the kind of detail that feeds the suspicions of those convinced something sinister was going on behind the scenes.
Online sleuths have long pointed out Chester’s physical resemblance to John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, whose leaked emails sparked a frenzy of speculation due to cryptic language involving food. That theory gets even murkier when you throw in the sketches released during the Madeleine McCann investigation. According to internet users, the suspects’ drawings resembled John and Tony Podesta, and even Ghislaine Maxwell. Whether coincidence or clue, the internet never forgets.
None of this is courtroom evidence. But for those who followed Bennington and Cornell, the patterns are impossible to ignore. Two beloved musicians, vocal about personal demons, united by friendship, trauma, and a cause. We may never get definitive answers.
