Chester Bennington's son Tyler has shut down "bullshit" online conspiracy theories around his late father's death, telling his followers on TikTok, "These are just veiled attempts to sensationalise and make what really is a tragedy a big story."

The 17-year-old has been using the platform to advocate for mental health and raise awareness of depression. Last month, on what would have been his father's 47-birthday birthday, the teenager posted a photo of the late Linkin Park vocalist, and wrote, "I'm going to post more often but please don't follow me expecting Linkin Park content.
