Man shoots himself after Cobain memorial emsm SEATTLE (AP) — A man who attended a public vigil to pay last respects to grunge rock star Kurt Cobain shot himself to death hours later, police said. Daniel Kaspar. zn, 01 me surmro oi Mapie vauey was among the thousands of people who jammed the Seattle Center for Sunday evening's memorial for Cobain, who also shot himself to death. Kas[>ar was found dead in his apartment in Maple Valley, southeast of Seattle, on Monday morning. He died of a self-inflicted shotgun blast, the coun ty medical examiner's office said. Kasper's roommate said Kaspar was despondent over several matters, including Cobain's death, police spokesman Dave Robinson said. "As we understand it from his roommate, this individual was divorced, in debt, and had been drinking." Robinson said. But a close friend and neighbor, who had called police about Kaspar's death, said it remained unclear whether Cobain's suicide played a role in Monday's suicide. The friend, who declined to be identified, told the Seattle Post Intelligencer that Rasper enjoyed grunge music hut was not a diehard fan. He said the two of them agreed to join several friends at the Cobain vigil but Kaspar at that time had not appeared distraught about the rook star's death. Cohain, lead singer of the grunge-rock hand Nir vana. also killed himself with a shotgun. His Ixxiy was found Friday in his Seattle home. Coburn's Ixxlv is to he cremated, said Dennis Uennehy, a Nirvana publicist in New York A nonprofit counseling service in Seattle, the Cri sis Clinic, reported that it had been swamped with calls since Cobain's death. The number of calls increased from about 200 to 300 a day, with people asking for help with all manners of emotional prob lems, not just suicide, director Susan Kastgard said. Many of the calls were from depressed adoles cents and young adults, she said "Kurt Cohain represented something to this gen eration," she said.
