The death of any celebrity still in the prime of his/her career does more to solidify their legend than anything possibly. It ensures that they never fade out, never turn into a weak version of what they were. And Kurt having killed himelf was the most poetic way for him to go out; in a scene where depression was akin to a fad, seeing the hero of the day made way too much sense to way too many people. Of course it drove some of us to walk away from that scene and discover industrial music, but that's a different story.
As far as "Courtney did it," that's little more than a pathetic attempt by many to beleive that their hero was tragically murdered rather than having blown his own head off. Most of the "facts" that point to murder in this case never surfaced until long after they could be properly validated, and a lot of them look for logic and rational behavior from a pair of people who had abused more drugs than an average college campus.
