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.
Cobain was found dead in his home from an apparent shotgun wound. He had heroin and Valium in his body, and had been lying on the floor for days when police found him. I really enjoyed his music and wish heâd been able to give detox and drug rehab another shot. I wish drug rehab had been more helpful for him.
