I don't buy the whole "unexplainable stomach pain" thing. When I was a teen, I had horrible, excruciating "unexplainable stomach pain" as well. My folks took me to doctor after doctor trying to figure out what was causing me to be so discomforted with a lack of an ulcer, tumor, digestive disorder, etc. Finally, I went to a gastroenterologist who basically told me I was a pussy-wimp and it was all in my head. He prescribed an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety and would you know it, the pain fucking dissapeared.

The digestive system is pretty cut and dry. When something is up, a properly performed upper GI/Colonoscopy/blood-urine-feces test will reveal any real problems that may be ocurring.

I do agree with Barry on the point that you never really know what's going through someone's head. Kurt definitely wasn't the first suicide that seemed without merit. But as for the stomach pain, unexplained=anxiety. Take it from me, you can't take care of anxiety when you're doing hard drugs that would completely nullify the effects of a real pill.

I think he killed himself because he was a goddamn junkie. Plain and simple.
