Soul Train creator Don Cornelius was found dead after committing suicide this morning. He was 75.

Police say he died of a self-inflicted gunshot to his head.

We’re told cops discovered the body at around 4 a.m. PST. Law enforcement sources tell us … Cornelius died from a gunshot wound to the head and officials believe the wound was self-inflicted.

On Sunday night, an anonymous Twitter user using the now defunct handle @hardboiledpeggs sent a message to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Taylor Armstrong, threatening to kidnap Armstrong at an upcoming event promoting her new book Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within.

Taylor immediately responded to the threat, saying “Don’t ever contact me again;” however, the threats did not stop there: @hardboiledpeggs sent another message, this time mentioning Armstrong’s daughter, Kennedy.

“Turn around bright eyes,” the message read, “every now and then, Kennedy’s dead.” Upon reading the message, and under the advice of many concerned Twitter followers, Armstrong filed a report with the FBI and is reportedly seeking extra protection for herself and her daughter.
