Murder of Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain, legendary Nirvana guitarist, lyricist, and vocalist, was the victim of a little foul play.

Kurt was raised in Aberdeen, Washington. His parents divorced at age 7, and life went downhill from there. Kurt had suffered horrible stomach pains for a significant amount of time, which later led to his infamous heroin addiction. In high school, he met Chris Novoselic and later formed a band we now know as Nirvana, creating a new genre of music called "grunge." Somewhere along the way, he met Courtney Love, whom he later wed after he found out he impregnated her. And that is where the chaos began.

As Nirvana became more well known, even world-famous, things weren't quite as good behind the scenes, to say the least. Courtney was hungry for money and never took no for an answer. Soon enough, Kurt was raking in about 95% of the band's profits, while the remaining members, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, split what was left of it. Courtney, right after the day they wed, had obviously declared herself Kurt's eyes, ears, and voice, and took it upon herself to settle any of the band's issues on her own under her terms. Finally, Kurt had had enough. Tired of Courtney, tired of the money, tired of everything, he filed for divorce and left. He dropped out of what would've been his biggest tour ever, Lollapalooza. Soon after being forced into rehab, he fled the facility and was nowhere to be found. Courtney hired private detective Tom Grant to search for her husband, cleverly leading him to the wrong places, while she attended to her "other business in L.A." Five days later, sure enough, a body was found at the Cobain residence. But it wasn't Tom Grant who found it. An electrician who was hired by Courtney to fix the lighting in the greenhouse (a room above the garage that was never used) had seen a body lying in there. They guessed that the body had been there about three days. The Seattle Police Department came and, upon seeing the gun facing his head and a pool of blood, and finding a supposed "suicide note," declared suicide and the case was shut.

But obviously, it isn't as simple as that. You see, there are many factors not previously mentioned that play a very important role in this conspiracy. First of all, there weren't any legible fingerprints on the shotgun, the box across the room containing the heroin found in his system, or the pen with which he used to write the note. And about the heroin found in his system - a normal person would die within seconds with about 0.15ml circulating in their blood. A man inspected this and later wrote an article on his observations entitled "Dead Men Don't Pull Triggers". He found that a heroin addict who has developed a tolerance for it, such as Kurt, would die immediately with about 0.5ml of morphine (heroin turns to morphine once it enters the body) in their system. But Kurt had 1.52ml of morphine, over 3 times the maximum amount, and was supposedly still able to operate a gun. In fact, the needle would've still been in his arm after the heroin took its effect on him, yet there was no needle in his arm, his sleeve was rolled down, and the needles were stacked neatly in a box at the other side of the room.

Another thing that is quite important is the so-called "suicide note." If you look at it, there are two different handwritings on it. When you read the body of the note that was written in the first handwriting, it reads like a retirement letter from the music business. Only at the bottom does it mention any factor of death. Upon further inspection, you would also realize when reading the note that it is written in the present tense, not past tense like most suicide notes tend to read. Papers were found with Courtney's belongings that looked like she was practicing how to write letters, maybe an attempt at forgery. Kurt also mentioned to someone just three days before his death that he "feared for his life." A last thing that is strange is a man named Eldon "El Duce" Hoke, who claimed Courtney offered him $50,000.00 to kill Kurt Cobain three months before his death, and was given a polygraph test by the highest acclaimed polygraph expert in the United States. When asked if Courtney actually did ask him to kill Kurt Cobain, he replied yes, and his results came out to be 99.91% true, which according to the expert, is "beyond possibility of deception." He also claimed that he didn't do it, but he knew who did it. Three months after this comment went public, he was found lying on the railroad tracks dead. His neighbors had seen with an unknown man earlier that day whom he introduced as his friend, and they never saw that man again.

Suicide or homicide, it's your choice. But just remember, dead men don't pull triggers.

That's pretty much the facts as I've read about them. But even though that drug-addicted guy (Hoke) said he did the evil deed - or knew who did - doesn't mean he knew anything in particular about Cobain's death. People often lie about such issues regarding celebrities. Be that as it may, unless Courtney offers some insight, we'll probably never know for certain, ditto for Brian Jones, Bob Crane, George Reeves, et al.
