15 years later: Where were you when Kurt Cobain was found dead?

Kurt Cobain, 1967-1994
If Kurt Cobain had not shot himself through the temple with a shotgun on April 5, 1994, he would be 42 years old this year. Maybe still with Nirvana, maybe not. Maybe still in Seattle, maybe not. Maybe still married to Courtney Love, maybe (probably) not.
Wherever and whatever he’d be, Cobain would not command the aggrieved adoration his suicide inspired in his fans, moving thousands to pay tribute after an electrician discovered his body lying on the floor in his Madrona home 15 years ago Wednesday.
The day of the discovery, Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporters and photographers scrambled to cover the aftermath of one of the defining moments in modern rock.
Where were you?
