Courtney Love

Honouring Kurt Cobain, 25 Years After His Death

April 5, 2019 by Nicole Mitchell Leave a Comment

Kurt Cobain committed suicide today, 25 years ago. The Nirvana frontman shot himself in the head at his home in Seattle and his body was only discovered 3 days later by an electrician who initially believed Cobain was asleep. Cobain’s suicide note stated: “I haven’t felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing . . . for too many years now.” His autopsy report stated that a high concentration of heroin and traces of Valium were found in his body. The grunge musician checked out of a drug rehabilitation centre not too long before his suicide and had been reported as suicidal by his wife, Courtney Love. A public memorial service was held at the Seattle Centre days after the incident on April 10th. A recording of Courtney Love reading the suicide note was played and near the end of the vigil, she arrived and handed out some of Cobain’s clothing to remaining fans. His ashes were divided by love, some kept in a teddy bear, and some in an urn where a portion of it was taken to the Namgyal Buddist Monastery in Ithaca, NY. His mother arranged his final mourning ceremony that took place on May 31. 1999 where his daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, scattered her father’s remaining ashes into McLane Creek in Olympia Washington, the city where he “had found his true artistic muse.”
