The death of Kurt Cobain — the cult grunge icon and lead singer of Nirvana — has been regarded as the most mysterious death of the 20th century.

In April 1994, Kurt's body was discovered in his apartment, and it was officially stated that it was a suicide. However, confusion arose among Cobain's fans and widow Courtney Love due to certain circumstances: the suicide note, seemingly written by the musician, resembled more of a message about the end of his career, and wiped fingerprints were discovered on the gun believed to have been used by Cobain to shoot himself.

The truth may never be known.
