Smith died on October 21, 2003, at age 34 from two stab wounds to the chest.[2] At the time of the stabbing, he was at his Lemoyne Street home in Echo Park, California,[63] where he lived with his girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba. According to Chiba, the two were arguing,[35] and she locked herself in the bathroom to take a shower.[64] 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. A possible suicide note, written on a Post-it, read, "I'm so sorry—love, Elliott. God forgive me."
