A family member of Don Cornelius arrived at his Mulholland Drive home in Encino on Wednesday morning and found the “Soul Train” creator with a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said.
He was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to law enforcement sources.
His death is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department and L.A. County coroner’s office. The sources said detectives think it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound but stressed they are still investigating.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing, said the LAPD’s initial review of the crime scene suggested no sign of foul play.
He was 75 and recently had gone through a divorce.
