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.
