"He said to me once, “If you grow up with yelling in your house, the last thing you’ll want to do is make records of yelling.” And that, I think, speaks volumes about what’s been wrong with modern rock music. You have a lot of people who are yelling as a recreation and they obviously, according to Elliots world, didn’t have to hear that growing up. They’re just acting." 

Ben Folds on the late Elliot Smith

Elliot Smith died on October 21, 2003, at age 34 from two stab wounds to the chest According to girlfriend Jennifer Chiba—with whom he was sharing an apartment on Lemoyne Street in Echo Park at the time—the two were arguing, and she locked herself in the bathroom to take a shower. Chiba heard him scream, and upon opening the door, saw Smith standing with a knife in his chest. She pulled the knife out, after which he collapsed and she called 9-1-1. Smith died in the hospital with the time of death listed as 1:36 p.m. While Smith’s death was originally reported as a suicide, the official autopsy report released in December 2003 left open the question of possible homicide. A possible suicide note, written on a Post-it, read, “I’m so sorry—love, Elliott. God forgive me.”
