First off I just have to say that I love Kurt Cobain. ♥
But I honestly think he committed suicide. I have heard from differen’t places that he might have been murdered. But I do not believe so.

He did it, he tried to OD himself off in Mexico but they found him too early. The second attempt he made sure there was no coming back from it.

@beccagolling @hypocrisy_centreal Ahh, I see. What was the depression factor?

From Wikipedia

“Cobain’s stomach condition was emotionally debilitating to him, and he intermittently tried to find its cause, usually at the insistence of Love. None of the many doctors he consulted were able to pinpoint the specific cause. He suffered from an acute self-consciousness and developed a poor body image, due to his low body weight; which was primarily due to malnourishment caused by his stomach condition, poor diet (attested to by numerous doctors), or a combination of both.”

Listening to his music, it’s not exactly hard to believe that he was seriously and suicidally depressed. And sometimes, people who are that depressed commit suicide.

@johnpowell Medically that is sound. Once the body is content with taking its own protein from muscle tissues inside, it becomes hard to take it real food.

Here maybe this documentary that was made about Kurt and Courtney will help you decide for yourself. I honestly believe he did it, which is sorry someone so talented gave up their life like.

I know a bunch of people who have committed suicide. It’s fairly common.

@dreamwolf – Why do you think she killed him? What evidence do you have that law enforcement does not have?

lemming's avatar

I think he probably did. It’s not like he was really happy in himself. He had issues. But I hate Courtney anyway because she cheated on him and probably treated him like crap.

Nah, the Devil just came to collect his due as he always does when you turn 27.

@tom_g There is a really sound point here http://cobaincase.com/ It talks about how much dope he was on, and could he even pick up the shotgun. But why I think she did it? He was over her, she couldn’t understand that sort of thing. I personally find it hard to believe he would give up on his brothers in Nirvana, over a woman.

@dreamwolf – Until she is convicted of a crime, I consider her to be innocent. The easiest explanation until that time – that he killed himself – happens to be the most reasonable. Heck, I know someone who killed himself because he didn’t get a job he wanted. Sexy conspiracy story from what I can tell.

I don’t really see a lot of reason to doubt that he killed himself.
Regardless of how much we know about him from interviews or songs or anything he wrote, people still tend to keep a lot more than they let on under lock, even from close friends, so I doubt anyone that didn’t even know him personally could legitimately judge whether he killed himself or not simply based on how they think he felt about this or that and how they think he would have reacted to something.

Besides, I think people always want to pin the girlfriend/boyfriend of a rock star for something. People hated Yoko because she ‘broke up the Beatles’ – not John because he let her influence him, and totally forgetting that he was a Beatle, and would have just a bit more authority over the situation than a girlfriend – and people hate Courtney either because she made him kill himself, or because they think she killed him because she just ~couldn’t get over him~.
