Kurt Cobain was an American musician who was the co-founder, lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter of the rock band Nirvana. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, Washington. Forensics investigators later determined he had died three days earlier, on April 5. The Seattle Police Department incident report stated that Cobain was found with a shotgun across his body, had suffered a visible gunshot wound to the head, and that a suicide note had been discovered nearby. The Seattle Police confirmed Cobains death as a suicide. Following his death, conspiracy theories that Cobain was murdered were spread and reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, the FBIs file about Cobain that was made public in 2021 did not find any evidence to support the murder theory.
