Don Cornelius' Son -- He Called Me Right Before He Died
Don Cornelius' Son He Called Me Before He Died
Don Cornelius' son claims the late "Soul Train" creator phoned him just hours before he shot himself in the head -- describing the last-minute outreach as a "call of urgency."
Don's son Tony Cornelius wouldn't specify what the call was about -- telling Gayle King on "CBS This Morning," his dad's health was failing and he was "unhappy about some things" in his life.
Tony told Gayle, "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."
Tony added, "But our family could never know that he would -- how uncomfortable he really was."
