DON CORNELIUS’ SON: DAD WAS “UNHAPPY ABOUT SOME THINGS”
February 3, 2012
The son of the late Don Cornelius is speaking out to the press about his father’s apparent suicide. In an interview with Gayle King of CBS News, Tony Cornelius says he actually spoke to his dad the day he died. While he wouldn’t specify on their conversation, he did acknowledge, “It was a call of urgency, and I came to his home immediately.”
He noted that his dad was “unhappy about some things” in his life – one of which included his failing health.
Don told Gayle: “My father was extremely private and unfortunately, when you’re a private person, you keep things inside. You know, it’s hard to imagine that you would — how you feel. You have to be in a person’s shoes really to understand. Obviously, me being extremely close to him, I could tell that he was uncomfortable. But our family could never know that he would — how uncomfortable he really was.”
Cornelius added his father would want to be remembered as someone who worked hard at being a professional. “He taught me everything I know about TV production and he just really wanted to serve,” he said. “(My father) wanted to make a statement. I think he really worked extremely hard to make sure that he presented a project that people could really enjoy.”
