Can We Please Let Kurt Cobain Rest in Peace?
Sometime on April 5, 1994, Kurt Cobain killed himself in a room above a garden shed in the back of 171 Lake Washington Bvld East in Seattle.
That’s what happened. Full stop. Period.
Sure, all kinds of loose ends remain–weird use of Kurt’s credit cards after his death, the neatly packed away needle kit, the two different-looking handwriting style on the suicide note, claims of various bit players, etc.–but while intriguing and puzzling, none take away from the fact that the man killed himself.

Lee contends the photos will prove an elaborate conspiracy was behind Cobain’s death.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court, comes after Cobain’s widow and daughter pleaded that Lee not be given access to the photos of Cobain’s body he’s long sought. Attorneys for the city of Seattle successfully fought an earlier lawsuit from Lee, which was thrown out July 31.
Attorneys for the city argued Lee’s lawsuit should be thrown out for a number of deficiencies. They asked King County Superior Court Judge Theresa Doyle to find that Lee’s claims have no merit and summarily declare the city the winner.
Doyle dismissed Lee’s lawsuit after hearing from him. Doyle granted a city motion for summary judgment after finding that Lee’s lawsuit was premature and that his public records request was improperly delivered.
