April 8, 1994 - Cobain’s body was discovered in the spare room above the garage. This room is referred to as “the greenhouse” at his Lake Washington home says Veca Electric employee Gary Smith
The address on Lake Washington : 171 Lake Washington Blvd E, Seattle, WA 98112. Smith, the first person who spotted Kurt’s body, arrived at the house that morning to install security lighting, and saw the body lying inside. Apart from a minor amount of blood coming out of Cobain’s ear, Smith reported seeing no visible signs of trauma, and initially believed that Cobain was asleep. Smith found what he thought might be a suicide note where it had a pen stuck through it beneath an overturned flowerpot.
A shotgun, purchased for Cobain by Dylan Carlson, was found at Cobain’s side. An autopsy report later concluded Cobain’s death was a result of : a “self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.” the report estimates Cobain to have died on April 5, 1994.
In the alleged suicide note, ostensibly written to Cobain’s imaginary childhood friend “Boddah”, Cobain quote a lyric from Neil Young’s song “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)”: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.” Cobain’s use of the lyric had a profound impact on Young, who recorded portions of his 1994 album Sleeps with Angels in Cobain’s memory the note also evoked the name of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who Cobain felt could revel in the adoration of an audience a way that Cobain himself could not
