Pulled a Cobain - definition

When a famous celebrity, musician, or public figure commits suicide that immortalizes them forever in their respective fields. The suicide is never done WITH the intention of getting their persona cemented in the public's eye, but it has that effect because they die before they public grew tired of what they had to offer, leaving people yearning for what could have been.

Do you think David Foster Wallace pulled a Kurt Cobain?
Maybe... Although he did do a shit load of drugs and battled depression for most of his life.

Pulled a Cobain

killing yourself and never really knowing if suicide is the answer, being alienated from friends and outside forces and feeling that the best way to deal with said depression is to off yourself in a spectacular manner leaving everyone behind still feeling the effects.

I knew someone who pulled a cobain, they're still picking up the pieces of whats left of the body
