Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. This famous singer-guitarist committed suicide-by-shotgun while on drugs. I guess he never achieved nirvana. Who was he?"
...1. Eddie Vedder 2. Kurt Cobain 3. Ron "Bon" Scott 4. Buddy Holly With the suicide of any celebrity, you always have the group of people claiming it was murder. This was no different. Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, hired a private detective (Tom Grant) to do some investigating. Grant claims that with the amount of heroin in Cobain's system he never would have been able to aim and pull the trigger of a shotgun. Narcotics experts have stated, though, that a longtime addict could have built up enough tolerance to be able to function. Grant also claims that the suicide note (or a part of it) was forged. Overall, though, the evidence for its being a real suicide is pretty conclusive.
