CBS News Logo. Kurt Cobain's death was indeed a suicide, police say. Nearly 20 years after Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home, the city's police have re-examined the case - including dozens of photos not seen before. Cobain was 27 at the time.
Seattle, April 8, 1994, 9 a.m. An electrician named Gary Smith arrived at Kurt Cobainâs home in Seattle to install a new security system. Though there was no answer at the front door, Smith got to work. As he climbed on the roof, following wires along the garage to a room above it, he looked through a window. Inside he saw an overturned plant and what he thought was a mannequin lying beside it. When he noticed the blood, he called the police. Kurt Cobain, 27, had been missing for six days. On March 30, he had checked himself into the Exodus Recovery Center, outside L.A., seeking help for his drug problems (Cobain told a close friend that he had been âshanghaiedâ into treatment by Gold Mountain, the company that managed his band Nirvana).
