they came out of nowhere and had an instant global marketing drive for their debut album. Kids are abused but I'm guessing they're given a path to an easier life when they grow up to keep quiet.
That doesn't convince me to be honest. They got a pretty ordinary deal as one of hundreds of bands of their genre and the hype machine only started as their debut single met great success. For a guy who is supposed to shut up he was pretty open about being abused and his lyrics reflect that.
I am 100% certain that his death is not a clear cut suicide but has a lot to do with knowing too much or recently making connections but making Linkin Park successful as a way to keep him quiet is too far-fetched.
