Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain. On Sale Now! A new book about the death of Kurt Cobain is causing a stir Stateside. The book insists that there was not conclusive evidence to call his death a suicide, saying, in fact, the evidence points to murder. The concept may seem farfetched, but the book raises some interesting questions.

Kurt Cobain About a Son Aside from a few black-and-white photographs, Kurt Cobain never appears in this documentary, nor is a single note of his music ever heard. Instead, filmmaker AJ Schnack's hauntingly beautiful film is a bold and successful attempt to recover the human being who disappeared under the heavy mantle of "face and voice of a lost generation," and whose life has been increasingly overshadowed by his sensational early death in 1994.

Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home, after apparently shooting himself in the head with a shotgun. A suicide note was found at the place. That's the official version, but there are other versions of his death. Some think he was murdered.
Kurt Cobain (right) with Nirvana, 1992. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was discovered in the spare room above the garage at his Lake Washington home by Veca Electric employee Gary Smith. Smith arrived at the house that morning to install security lighting and saw him lying inside. Apart from a minor amount of blood coming out of Cobain's ear, Smith reported seeing no visible signs of trauma, and initially believed that Cobain was asleep. Smith found what he thought might be a suicide note with a pen stuck through it beneath an overturned flowerpot. A shotgun, purchased for Cobain by Dylan Carlson, was found at Cobain's side. Cobain's death certificate concluded Cobain's death was a result of a "self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head."
I’m looking at the contact sheet of Kurt Cobain’s last photo session. There he is, larger than life, grinning like a manic child, a deranged look in his mascara-ed eyes, a pistol nozzle pushed against his temple. In another pose he takes aim at the viewer, one eye closed, the other looking down the barrel of his gun. Then there’s the final sequence which Yuri Lenquette, the photographer, has refused to leak to the press. Here Cobain seems to be rehearsing his own death in some detail, posing with the gun in his mouth, then widening his eyes in pretend horror as he mimes the shock of impact. Throughout, and this is the scary thing, he looks like he’s having a good time.
