With Cobain, it was: chronic bronchitis and a debilitating stomach condition, potentially brought on by drug abuse which is very consistent with musicians.

Some fans even went as far as blaming Courtney for Kurt's suicide, some claiming he wouldn't have done it if it were not for her, some going as far as stating that they believe Courtney actually pulled the trigger (not saying I believe this).
Both allegedly had substance abuse issues to a certain extent.
