On April 8, 1994, Kurt Cobain, the lead singer and guitarist of the American rock band Nirvana, was found dead at his home on Lake Washington Boulevard, Seattle. Forensic investigators and a coroner determined that Cobain had died on approximately April 5, three days prior.
The Seattle Police Department incident report stated that Cobain was found with a Remington Model 11 shotgun across his body and had suffered a visible gunshot wound to the head; a suicide note was also discovered nearby. Seattle police confirmed his death as a suicide.
Conspiracy theories that Cobain was murdered were spread and reported to the FBI, partially due to an Unsolved Mysteries episode dedicated to Cobain's death.
