The police then regarded it as a suicide, but no suicide note was found. In addition, all her relatives and friends unanimously stated that Ruslana had no reason to commit suicide, hinting that it could be a murder.

Later it turned out that the girl really committed suicide, and this is due to the Rose of the World organization, which conducts “personal development trainings” in Moscow. Participants there are asked to talk about the most terrible events that happened to them in life.

Ruslana went to trainings at Rosa for almost a year. A few months after the final sessions, she completely broke down. Then she returned to New York to look for work. A few months before her death, she wrote: “I am completely lost, will I ever find myself?”

Serious problems begin when people leave there. Training has already become their life - and they return to the void. Sensitive ones break down.

Ruslana was buried on July 7, 2008 at the Khovansky cemetery in Moscow. According to her mother, "my daughter loved this city very much and would like her beloved Moscow to become her last refuge."

3. Kurt Cobain shot himself in his country house. Before committing suicide, the rocker wrote a suicide note

The leader of the cult Nirvana band Kurt Cobain is considered one of the idols of rock music. At the age of 27, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a gun.

His body was discovered at his Seattle home on April 8, 1994, four days after his death. The police report said that the musician was found lying on the floor, shot through the head, with a gun on his chest.

Kurt left a suicide note, written with a red ink pen, in which he complained that he had not been enjoying listening to and writing music for a long time and confessed to feelings of guilt in front of his loved ones and fans, which he could not cope with.

“I speak the language of an experienced simpleton who would rather be castrated by an infantile whiner. This note should be easy to understand. All the warnings of punk rock courses over the years, since my introduction to the so-called ethics that require independent acceptance by your community, have proven to be true.

It's been a long time since I've felt the excitement of listening to and making music and reading books. These words make me feel guilty. For example, when we stand backstage, the lights go on and the frenzied roar of the crowd is heard, it does not evoke in me the same emotions as Freddie Mercury did. He takes great pleasure in the adoration of the crowd, it causes me admiration and envy. In fact, I cannot deceive you. It would just be unfair to you or me. The worst crime, in my opinion, is to fool people by pretending to get the maximum pleasure. Sometimes I feel like I have to break the clock when I go on stage.

I did everything in my power to sort out my problem (but, God knows, it's not enough). I appreciate that the creativity of our group touched the feelings of many people. I must be one of those "narcissists" who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to freeze my feelings a little in order to regain the enthusiasm that I had as a child. During our last three tours, I began to appreciate my acquaintances and just fans of the band much more. But I can't shake the feeling that I only evoke disappointment, embarrassment, and sympathy in these people. There is something good in all of us, and I think I just love people too much. So much so that it's what makes me so fucking sad. Sad, small, sensitive, appreciating nothing man-Pisces (Kurt's zodiac sign. - Approx. ed.). My God! Why doesn't it suit you? I do not know! I have a goddess wife who is full of ambition and compassion, and a daughter who is so much like me - the way I used to be. Loving and cheerful, welcoming every person she sees, because everything is good and does not harm her. And it terrifies me to the point where I can hardly contain myself.

I can't bear the thought that Francis could become the same miserable, self-destructive rocker that I have become. I'm doing well, very well, and I'm grateful, but from the age of seven I began to hate all people. Only because it seems so easy for them to live and feel compassion. Compassion! Just because I love and feel sorry for people too much, I get something in return. I thank you all from the depths of my burning, nauseated stomach for your letters and support in last years. I'm too strange, sullen child! I no longer have passion, and therefore remember - it is better to burn out than to dissolve ...

Francis and Courtney, I'll be at your altar. Please move on, Courtney, for Frances, for her life, which will be much happier without me. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU."

A memorial service for Cobain was held on April 10 at the Seattle Center Cultural Center Park. Courtney Love read out excerpts from her husband's suicide note. The widow also talked to the grieving fans and gave them some of her late husband's clothes. A private memorial service for the relatives and friends of the deceased took place on the same day at the Unity of Truth Church.

Cobain's body was cremated. Courtney Love, a practicing Buddhist, brought some of the ashes to the monastery at the Namgyal Institute for Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, New York, where they were blessed and mixed into clay to make ritual memorial figurines, and some she kept for herself. In 1999, Frances Bean scattered her father's ashes over McLain Creek in Olympia, where Cobain lived and worked intermittently in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

This marriage was already the last in Wood's life. Her life with her husband did not improve in the second marriage. The scandals continued because of the constant feeling of jealousy towards Robert. It was after one of these quarrels that the couple went for a ride on the Shine yacht on the fateful evening of November 29, 1981. In addition to Wood, her husband Robert Wagner, actor Christopher Walken and yacht captain Dennis Davern were on the yacht.

During her career, she has appeared in more than 50 films and has worked with the most handsome men Hollywood - James Dean, Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Robert Redford and many others.
