Full story



Don Cornelius -- who famously created "Soul Train" was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, CA home this morning ... and law enforcement sources tell us it appears he committed suicide.

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

We're told Cornelius was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"Soul Train" changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006.

 no Cry My prayers go out to his family and close friends. I never met a finer man that was motivational and wanted Black folks to take ownership and change their status. He was a true trailbalzer in a time when you had to create your own path amongst numerous obstacles. I ask the Lord to grant his family peace in this most difficult time.
