WEATHER CELEBRITY REPORT Family of Chris Cornell sues doctor over rock singer s death Family members of Chris Cornell on Thursday sued a doctor they say overpre scribed drugs to the rock singer, leading to his death. Cornell’s widow, Vicky Cornell, and their children, Toni and Christopher, are plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed in Los Ange les Superior Court alleging that prescrip tion drugs, especially the anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam, led to erratic behavior from the Soundgarden frontman before his death in Detroit in 2017 at age 52. The lawsuit says Dr. Robert Koblin and his Beverly Hills office “negligently and repeatedly” prescribed “dangerous mind- altering controlled substances to Chris Cornell which impaired Mr. Cornell’s cog nition, clouded his judgment, and caused him to engage in dangerous impulsive behaviors that he was unable to control, costing him his life.” It focuses in particular on Koblin’s pre scribing Cornell large amounts of Loraze pam — which is sold under the brand name Ativan — to Cornell in the 20 months lead ing up to his death. Coroner’s investigators ruled Cornell’s death a suicide by hanging. Toxicology tests showed the presence of Ativan along with barbiturates, caffeine, the anti-opioid drug naloxone, and a decongestant. But the autopsy report said the drugs were not a cause of death. The lawsuit says the doctor knew that Cornell had a serious history of substance abuse, and he failed to examine or consult with him as he was prescribing the drugs. The “unmonitored use of such excessive amounts of Lorazepam ... was known to increase the risk of suicide because it can severely impair judgment, thinking and impulse control and diminish the ability of a patient to think and act rationally,” the lawsuit says. Staff reached by phone at Koblin’s office said there was no immediate comment. Vicky Cornell has said since immedi ately after her husband’s death that she felt the prescription drugs he was taking drove him to behave strangely, and there were no signs he might take his own life. “At the time of his death, Mr. Cornell had everything to live for and was planning a future of recordings, performances and continued work as a charitable activist,” the lawsuit says. Cornell’s wailing voice and his long haired, shirtless stage presence made him an essential figure in the grunge-rock of the 1990s. Soundgarden was among the first groups to surge to national attention in a wave that later included Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Cornell also fronted the super-groups Audioslave with members of Rage Against The Machine and Temple of the Dog with members of Pearl Jam. Last month, a bronze statue of Cornell was erected outside the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. The lawsuit, which seeks damages to be determined later, also names anonymous staffers at Koblin’s office as defendants. Cornell’s oldest daughter, 18-year-old Toni Cornell, is also named as a defendant, but the lawsuit emphasizes that she is a nominal defendant only, as required by law because she is heir to her father’s estate. Diana Ross, John Legend set for annual Macy’s parade Diana Ross, John Legend, Bad Bunny, Kane Brown and Ella Mai will be among the stars celebrating at Macy’s Thanksgiv ing Day Parade in New York City.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). To distinguish a face from all of the other faces is a human tal ent that goes back to our more primitive days. If only names were as easy to remember! That memorization will take effort and will pay off hand somely today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though it certainly will help to believe you can do something before you embark, it isn’t nec essary. So if you’re having a crisis of faith, just ignore it and take the next step anyway. It’s the steps that get you there, not the faith. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Love what you do, and you’ll do great work effortlessly. That’s good for you and good for the world. If you don’t love it, you’ll force yourself to do great work anyway. That’s how character is built, which is also a benefit to both you and the world. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know what it’s like to want something that isn’t a good fit for you. Seeing someone else with what you once wanted will be an eye-opening experience that makes you glad for the way things turned out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re naturally influential today. Even your most mild-mannered expressions will be powerful enough to get people to go with your ideas, follow your lead and generally give you the room to do as you please. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The more you want to accomplish something, the less it will feel like work. The struggle ceases to be a struggle; it’s just what needs to happen to get where you want to go. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Find out who has the power to greenlight your project before you waste your time pitching to the wrong person. Also, “Never allow a person to tell you no that doesn’t have the power to say yes.” — Eleanor Roosevelt SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). “It takes one to know one” applies all over the place today. For instance, you’d almost have to slip into an unkind state to decide that someone else is being unkind. Also, you know when you’re loved because you’re loving. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re brave. You stay awake to what you’re doing instead of burying your head in the sand like the ostrich myth. Maybe you can’t always con trol your behavior, but you’re aware of it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you feel emotionally out on a limb, don’t ask anyone else to join you there. The branch could break. Make your way to the trunk, shimmy down and touch the roots. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Hearing the words “I love you” from one you hold dear may or may not give you a sense of security. The thing to work on is loving yourself — a much more dependable source of security. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No stone gets polished smooth without friction. It’s the rub that makes things shine. You’ll put some muscle into that today, maybe physical or maybe emotional. Push through re sistance to knock off the grime and get to the luster.
