4. Michael Jackson

The king of pop ruled the world with his charming dance moves. His songs topped the hit list each year. He was awarded with every single award affiliated to music industry. But tables soon turned. His fans became his critics. He started a string of surgeries which resulted in ill health; people were concerned about his mental status once he was photographed dangling his child from a balcony and not to mention rising allegations about child abuse. Michael Jackson decided to make a comeback and “This is it” was his last hope of regaining that lost fame. Alas! The tour did made him famous but for sad reasons. He died before the opening concert. Apparently, the excessive tension and practice took a toll on him. Officially, he was proclaimed dead due to an overdose of Propofol, an anesthetic. Conspiracy theorists still believed his death was carefully planned to extract every last penny from him through his death.

5. Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer of band Nirvana. He was found dead in his house with a bullet through his head and deadly dose of heroin and valium injected in his arms. A suicide note was lying beside him but analysts argue that it might be a fake. The handwriting varies in many places plus the narration changes from first person to third person. It looks more of an apology note than a suicide. The thing which is most intriguing is that even after injecting himself with so much of heroin how was he capable for picking up the gun and shooting himself. This is just not possible. A suspicious event occurred two years after his death. Eldon, a fellow musician claimed that Courtney Love, Kurt`s wife once paid him money to get her husband killed. Surprisingly the person who made the most headlines during this investigation was Tom Grant, a private detective Courtney hired to find out her husband`s disappearance from a rehab facility weeks before his death.
