LA Dodgers organist plays Linkin Park's 'Numb' to honor Chester Bennington
ELYSIAN PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The organist for the Los Angeles Dodgers paid tribute to Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington by playing one of the band's biggest hits.
The organist played "Numb" in homage to Bennington during Thursday night's pregame.
Pitcher Brandon McCarthy also honored Bennington by using another Linkin Park song as his entrance music.
Bennington was found dead Thursday morning at his Palos Verdes Estates home in a suspected suicide.

A suicide note was not found. An autopsy has not yet been scheduled.
