9. Kurt Cobain

Rocker Kurt Cobain was found in the garage of his Washington home when an electrician came to the home to install a security system. Cobain left a suicide note and died from a gunshot wound. However, Diazepam and heroin were also found in his system, indicating that he likely decided to take his own life because his brain was heavily influenced by the drug use. Cobain is known as one of the founders of the grunge rock era, and was survived by his wife Courtney Love (the two often did drugs together). Cobain and Love also have a daughter named Frances, who has spoken out in her adulthood about her father’s death, stating that he was not the hero many perceive him to be.
