Introduction

     The 90’s grunge world was shaken when the iconic singer Kurt Cobain was found dead in his home on April 8, 1994, that was figured out later that he had died three days earlier on April 5th (“Grunge Kurt Cobain is Found Dead Three Days After" 1). His death was ruled as a suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot to the head (“Kurt & Courtney: No Nirvana" 1). Fans were devastated by the news that he shot himself, but others believed that he, himself, did not pull the trigger (“Kurt Cobain Case...” 1). Some believe his wife, Courtney Love, had him killed because she was mentally disturbed, suspected of unfaithfulness, and that he was planning to divorce her and take her out of his will (Kelley 1). She would have gotten nothing based on their prenuptial agreement but as his widow, she inherited everything, and his death helped her own career take off (Halperin and Wallace 1). Let’s take a look at the theories and evidence of how Kurt Cobain was killed.
