I just read his entire wikipedia page (I think I've already read it like four times). I'm not even a huge rock music fan, but as rock bands go Nirvana is one of the few that I actually do like. But even apart from the music, does anyone else find Kurt Cobain such a fascinating dude? Just his whole life story, his philosophy, his tragedy.
Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division, was another rocker who had an interesting story and an untimely demise. Cobain is a legend and always will be.
I don't think it was murder. Kurt was awesome but he was also a junky and they usually don't last long at all unfortunately.
I've always said half jokingly/half seriously that Courtney killed him. I would like to research it more but the one thing I've heard that always struck me odd it the trajectory of the bullet. Apparently, the angles lined up so that he would've had to have pulled the trigger with his toe. This could very well be urban legend. Does anyone know more on this?
his body was found with shoes on. also the weapon was a shotgun. which brings me to another point... was the shell of the shotgun a slug or bird shot? also, my sister says it was a sawed off shotgun, so he could have pulled the trigger with his finger, but a full length barrel shotgun would be a lot more difficult. furthermore i googled "kurt cobain suicide weapon" and it showed me a rifle. i dont know what to think anymore.
See what I'm saying? It gets strange. I don't think we'll ever know the real truth, but what we've been fed by the media doesn't seem to jive.
theres also a theory that suggests cobain had enough heroin in his system to kill him on its own. meaning he would be incapacitated and wouldnt be able to pull the trigger. theres also some telling stuff in courtney love's past that suggests she could have done this. her own father even hates her and thinks its possible that she killed cobain. also, there are rumors that their marriage was about to fall apart when all this happened. theres a couple different documentaries on kurt that are really good but the one that has the information i just spoke about is called "Kurt & Courtney".
All the young legends get a murder conspiracy, Hendrix, Joplin and even Morrison were all murdered according to some folk.
I heard that there was an insane amount of Heroin in his system. Playing devil's advocate, he'd been using it on and off for years. He probably built up a tolerance for it and could possibly have functioned even after using that much. Not saying I believe that, I just think it's important to think critically.
Kurt Cobain is one of my music idols, I wish I could've met the man before he died. Truly tragic and his death accompanied the downfall of music.
