The Nirvana star sadly entered the so-called 27 club when he was found dead at his Lake Washington Boulevard home in 1994. During his life, Kurt suffered from drug abuse, mental health issues and a famously turbulent marriage to Courtney Love as the Dayly Star reports.
Sadly, in 1994 Kurt was found dead at his home. The Seattle Police Department reported Kurt had suffered a visible gunshot wound to the head, and it was confirmed that he had committed suicide.
Last year though, Canadian documentary maker and author Ian Halperin claimed that Kurt had 70 times the lethal dose of heroin in his system when he died. Ian then alleged how he could not have killed himself.
Over the years, Courtney has always strenuously denied any suggestions of being involved in Kurt’s death. But the rocker was asked to take a filmed lie detector test to clear her name and prove she was not involved.
Author Ian Halperin is determined to get to the bottom of Kurt’s death. Ian told The U.S Sun: “I want to update my offer. If Courtney agrees to take the test and passes, she gets her choice.
“I'll either take out that billboard in Times Square or a person, who is in the long time music industry executive, has offered to give her $50,000 cash if she passes. I am keen to find the truth."
Kurt's body was discovered by an electrician called Gary Smith on April 8 1994 - the tradesman had arrived to install a security system and initially thought Kurt was sleeping when he first saw him. A coroner realised the singer had been lying there dead for days, dating his death to be April 5.
After the legal action of the former husband of Frances Bean Cobain, who recently sued Love for attempted kidnapping and attempted murder, the hypotheses on the mystery of Kurt's death reopens.
There are so many conspiracy theorists and people who believe that Kurt Cobain was murdered and his suicide staged because there are heaping piles of evidence pointing that way as well as people close to Kurt who strongly believe that he was not suicidal and did not kill himself.
• The Alibi
Rosemary Carroll, Courtney Love's own attorney and godmother to her and Kurt's daughter Frances Bean, believes that Courtney was involved in a conspiracy to murder Kurt. Courtney had accidentally left her handbag at Carroll's house, and after Kurt's death, she decided to look inside. She found two pieces of paper: one was a note Courtney wrote to herself that read "GET ARRESTED." In the days prior to Kurt's death, she was indeed arrested for possession of narcotics . This was supposedly her alibi.
• However, Kurt's body had not yet been discovered, at which point she hired private investigator Tom Grant to locate him then called an electric company to install an alarm system on the greenhouse (the room in which Kurt died) as soon as possible. The electrician who got the job was the one who discovered Kurt's body. Many believe this was her new alibi she manufactured.
The second, more disturbing note in Courtney's handbag was a handwriting practice sheet. Kurt Cobain's suicide note has been analyzed by handwriting experts who unanimously agree that the first portion, The very bottom portion - the only part of the note that alludes to suicide - is written differently and has the look of someone trying to copy Kurt's handwriting style.
