April 10, 2018

April 5 marks the 24th anniversary of the icon Kurt Cobain's death, who passed away at 27.

The Nirvana singer was found in a room above the garage of his Seattle home in 1994. The further investigation determined that the rock star took his own life three days earlier.

The singer had the 20-gauge shotgun lying across his chest with which he ended his existence. By that time, Kurt had been missing for six days. His body was discovered by an electrician, who came to the house to install a security system. After a medical examination, it was discovered that there was a high concentration of heroin and traces of Valium in the singer’s bloodstream. His friends commented later:

He was a walking time bomb, and nobody could do anything about it.

On April 5, 2018, Nirvana’s members, drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic, took to their Twitter to pay tribute to the late singer, guitarist, and songwriter with a short but sweet message:

Dear Kurt—We miss you.

Dear Kurt—We miss you.
