In the beginning of 1993 they recorded what was to be their last studio recorded album, In Utero. This album was recorded in two weeks, but wasn�t released for another six months, due to the work-title "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die." This title reflects the fact of Kurt being suicidal.

When Kurt was on a seminar in July 1993 he overdosed on heroin. Courtney injected him with an illegal drug to save him. Later that same day he went on stage and played a concert, no one noticed anything. From now Kurt�s drug abuse was starting to get out of hand. Courtney threatened several times to divorce him if he did not get treatment for his abuse. He agreed to get treatment for his abuse, but didn�t last long at the rehab center. He later escaped from this center although it was voluntary. He said this was a place for retards or something. It wasn�t a proper place for him to be.

In the beginning of 1993 Nirvana played an MTV unplugged concert, and they played what was to be their final concert in Munich, March 24th, 1994. One week later Kurt was hospitalised in a coma. The next day he awoke and asked for a milkshake. After a few days he left the hospital by his own will. Kurt disappeared after that and was reported missing by his wife. She also hired a private investigator to trace him, she fears that he might show up dead.

April 8th, 1994 Kurt was found dead in his own house, of what appeared to be a shotgun blast to his head three days earlier. Two days after there were a memorial where Courtney read a part from his suicide note. Kurt had said earlier that same year that he never expected to reach the age of 30. Unfortunately, he was right. He became a rock legend like Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. They all became 27. Their unplugged album was released later that year. Alot of Nirvana fans have speculated about the possiblity of Kurt being murdered. I believe this to be true.
