Writing Four

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for Nirvana, the multi platinum grunge band that was the basis for the sound of the nineties. He was married to Courtney Love, the lead singer of the band Hole, with a daughter named, Francis Bean. Tragically, on April 5th 1994, his body was found in the room over the garage at his house. The police immediately concluded “suicide”. I don’t believe Kurt killed himself and there is plenty of evidence supporting my theory.
The first piece of evidence that I’m going to mention is that Courtney Love was facing a divorce. When she found out he was really going to file for divorce, she asked one of her attorneys Rosemary Carroll to find her the “meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer” she could. In the beginning of the marriage, Kurt was smart enough to have her sign a prenuptial, which in the event of a divorce, he wouldn’t have all his money taken away. Courtney wanted someone who could possibly get her out of that agreement or change it. After Kurt’s death Carroll had come to believe that Courtney was behind it because she had a motive.
Kurt’s body was found by the electricians that had been called to do some work on the house. He had been dead for three days. How could his body been laying there for three days? Since he had supposedly been missing, wouldn’t his house have been the first place they would’ve looked? The gun he supposedly used to shoot himself (purchased for protection BEFORE he left for rehab) was found on the scene with no fingerprints on it. How could he wipe off the fingerprints after he shot himself in the head? But it gets better--- No fingerprints at all were found on the box of shells for the gun, and three shells from the box were loaded into the gun. If he was planning on shooting himself, why would he have loaded three shells into the gun? The truth is, the shotgun wasn't even checked for fingerprints until May 6th, nearly one month after Cobain's body was found.
The note that was found at the scene was immediately labeled by the police as a “suicide note” written to Courtney and Francis Bean. But this note was not addressed to his wife or his child. It was clearly written to his fans telling them that he was going to quit the business. It was a known fact that Kurt wanted to quit the music business, and that he was tired of his marriage with Courtney. The note has been read and determined by handwriting specialists to be of two completely different handwritings. In the original letter it says nothing about suicide. The portion that he wrote was merely a reflection of his thoughts on quitting the business, and his feelings on letting his fans down.
“All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things.
For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do, God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.”

Oddly enough there was a second “suicide note” attached to a box of flower bulbs that was addressed to Courtney and another name blacked out by the police. Courtney was in possession of this when Kurt’s body was found. She didn’t let anyone know about it until months later when she exposed a little bit too much to Rolling Stone Magazine during an interview. This second suicide note clearly states that he was leaving Courtney. Not that he was going to kill himself.
The last bit of evidence that supports my theory was that when Kurt’s body was found the autopsy concluded that his heroin blood level was 1.52 mgs per liter. This would require a minimum injection of 225 mgs of heroin which was three times a lethal dose. Even for a hardcore heroin addict like Cobain, injection of this amount of heroin would cause him to be in a coma or dead. How could a dead man or a vegetable pick up a gun and shoot himself?
In conclusion, neither the police nor the Medical Examiners have forensic evidence that Kurt Cobain’s death was a suicide. The verdict of “Suicide” was simply a rush in judgment of this case. I wonder if he had not been a celebrity, would they have taken the evidence and put it together as a murder. This makes me wonder had it been someone else how they would’ve handled it. Or maybe it’s because they didn’t want to work on the case any further, by trying to find a suspect. If the case had gone that far I wonder who the possible suspects could’ve been.
