Kurt Cobain Death Note Mocks Marriage to Courtney Love

By    |   Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:14 PM EDT

Kurt Cobain penned a scathing note about wife Courtney Love and stuffed it in his wallet before the Nirvana frontman's 1994 suicide and now, 20 years later, police have released the scribblings from evidence.

Officials reportedly discovered the handwritten note inside Cobain's wallet when they found the 27-year-old singer's body at his Seattle-area home on April 8, 1994, CBS News reported. The Medical Examiner's Office determined that he'd died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.



"Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife," he wrote on a piece of Phoenix Hotel letterhead. "Even when she's a b**** with zits and siphoning all yr (sic) money for doping and whoring."

The note presented a very different view of Love than what was included in Cobain's suicide note. There, he referred to her as a "goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy."

Cobain and Love reportedly had a tumultuous relationship complicated by fame and a dual heroin addiction.

The note leak comes on the heels of a revisited investigation into Cobain's suicide that included never-before-seen crime scene photos.
