On April 5, 1994: Kurt Cobain dies at the age of 27
On the 5th of April Kurt Cobain the leader
of Nirvana, the grunge band that redefined the sound of the nineties,
barricaded himself into the granny flat behind his mansion, put
a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. On Thursday April
the 7th ~ two days after a medical examiner says Cobain shot himself
and the day before his body was found police say Courtney Love
Kurt's wife was taken to hospital in L.A. for a drug overdose.
Released on bail, Love checked herself into a rehab center but
left soon after a friend called her the next day with news of
Cobain's death.
Cobain's body was found when
an electrician visiting the house to install a security system
went round the back of the house when no one answered the front
door and peered through windows. He thought he saw a mannequin
sprawled on the floor until he noticed a splotch of blood by Cobain's
ear. When police broke down the door they found Cobain dead on
the floor, a shotgun still pointed at his chin and on a nearby
counter a suicide note written in red ink addressed to Love and
the couples then 19 month old daughter Frances Bean.
 Kurt Cobain was the
leader of Nirvana, the grunge band that redefined the sound of
the nineties.
