what is the truth behind kurt cobain's death?

Question

Was it really suicide or not?

Answer 1

It was suicide!!

Answer 2

i got my degree in criminal justice and we actually studied the Curt Cobain case in school, here is what we came up with. Kurt was a very very depressed individual who spoke of suicide. he was in constant abdominal pain which doctors could never seem to fix. he hand wrote his suicide note. there was absolutely no evidence of foul play. i.e forced entry, struggle or anything like that. BUT, the gun used for the suicide had been wiped down, and placed back into the case after it had been used. there was a partial print on the gun that was not Kurts and Courtney was ruled out as well. What this means is there was someone else there with him. A lot of things in the house were cleaned of the blood, and kurt was wrapped in his favorite blanket after he died. the most common theory is that yes kurt killed himself. but a friend someone he trusted and who understood his desicion was there with him during his final hours to help put things away clean up and what not. it is said that the Seattle PD decided not to look into it any further because there was no reason to think it was any thing other than a suicide. so why burden this other person any more. i kind of agree. i think suicide is a cowards way out but it was Kurts choice and we should not start a "witch hunt" to persecute whatever friend he had with him by his side when he died.

Answer 3

I am not sure what really happened that day. All I know is how sad it was because I was huge Nirvana fan. There is a book out called Who Killed Kurt Cobain The Mysterious Death of an Icon. It's by Ian Halperin and Max Wallace it's so worth reading. I thought it was suicide but after reading the book there are so many things unclear. It's really worth reading if you are a Nirvana Fan.

Answer 4

Some people say otherwise, but it seems to be a suicide.
I've seen the picture of him after the fact and his face was completely blown off by putting a shotgun in his mouth and pulling the trigger.
Some say that Courtney love had him killed, but he had a lot of personal problems and was well know for being a manic deppresive.

Answer 5

He was on Heroin. He was an addict. He also didn't know how to
handle the instant fame he got. He never even wanted to be. He
was happy bein a garage band. If you ever read his lyrics...it
is easy to see where he is coming from. He was depressed alot
too. And, just like Anna Nicole, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, they also did
succumb to drugs and fame.

Answer 6

Common sense will tell you if you look at all the evidence and all the facts and think logically, it definitely without a doubt is murder and conspiracy which involves alot of players in this equation!!!

Answer 7

im not sure, but i watched the unsolved mysteries on youtube about it, and i walked away thinking that we probably dont know everything that happened concerning it..

i personally think that it wasnt suicide simply because he did care so much for his daughter, but you know, drugs have made people do some crazy **** they otherwise wouldnt

Answer 8

Kurt Cobain is legally recognized to have committed suicide. However, several theories have surfaced suggesting that the frontman of Nirvana was murdered.

The main proponent of the existence of a conspiracy surrounding Cobain's death is Tom Grant, the private investigator employed by Love after Cobain's disappearance from rehab. Grant was still under Love's employ when Cobain's body was found. Grant believes that Cobain's death was a homicide.

This section covers the main points in Grant's theory, as well as the rebuttals to those points by various sources:

The heroin level in Cobain's body at the time of his death
Grant cites a figure published in an April 14, 1994, article by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, purportedly from the official toxicology report, which claimed, "the level of heroin in Cobain's bloodstream was 1.52 milligrams per liter."[25] Grant argues that Cobain could not have injected himself with such a dose and still have been able to pull the trigger.[26]
However, several different studies on heroin use have noted the difficulty in pinpointing the level of heroin that an addict can tolerate. In a 2004 story, Dateline NBC questioned five medical examiners about the figure from the toxicology report. Two of them noted the possibility that Cobain could have built up enough of a tolerance through repeated usage to have been able to pull the trigger himself, while the three others held that the information was inconclusive.[27]
Grant does not believe that Cobain was killed by the heroin dose. He suggests that the heroin was used to incapacitate Cobain before the final shotgun blast was administered by the perpetrator.[28]
The suicide note
While working for Love, Grant was given access to Cobain's suicide note, and used her fax machine to make a photocopy, which has since been widely distributed. After studying the note, Grant believes that it was actually a letter written by Cobain announcing his intent to leave Courtney Love, Seattle, and the music business. Grant believes that the few lines at the very bottom of the note, separate from the rest of it, are the only parts that sound like a suicide note. He believes that those lines are written in a style that varies from the rest of the letter, suggesting that they were written by someone other than Cobain. While the official report on Cobain's death concluded that Cobain wrote the note, Grant claims that the official report does not distinguish the questionable lines from the rest of the note, and simply draws the conclusion across the entire note.
Grant claims to have consulted with handwriting experts who support his assertion. Other experts disagree, however. When Dateline NBC sent a copy of the note to four different handwriting experts, one concluded that the entire note was in Cobain's hand, while the other three said the sample was inconclusive.[27] One expert contacted by the television series Unsolved Mysteries noted the difficulty in drawing a conclusion, given that the note being studied was a photocopy, not the original.[29]
The length of the shotgun
Grant suggests that if the shotgun that Cobain used was positioned to match the findings of the autopsy report, his arm would have been too short for him to reach the trigger. Grant claims that Cobain would have had to fire the weapon with his toe, yet he was found with both shoes still in place.
The police report
Grant also cites circumstantial evidence from the official report. For example, the report claimed that the doors of the greenhouse could not have been locked from the outside, meaning that Cobain would have had to have locked them himself. Grant claims that when he saw the doors for himself, he found that the doors could be locked and pulled shut. Grant also questions the lack of fingerprint evidence connecting Cobain to the key evidence, including the shotgun. Several experts have noted that it is not unheard of for fingerprints to be absent from the weapon used in a suicide. However, Grant notes that the official report claims that Cobain's fingerprints were also absent from the suicide note and the pen that had been poked through it, and yet Cobain was found without gloves on his hands. None of the circumstantial evidence directly points to murder, but Grant believes it supports the larger case.[30]
The Rome incident
After Cobain's death, Love insisted that Cobain's overdose in Rome was a suicide attempt.[31] Grant believes that such an assertion was not made until after Cobain's death, and that people close to Cobain, including Nirvana's management Gold Mountain, specifically denied the characterization prior to Cobain's death. Grant believes that if Rome had truly been a suicide attempt, Cobain's friends and family would have been told so that they could have watched out for him.
Others have asserted that the claims by Gold Mountain and others were simply efforts to mask what was happening behind the scenes. Lee Ranaldo, guitarist for Sonic Youth, told Rolling Stone, "Rome was only the latest installment of [those around Cobain] keeping a semblance of normalcy for the outside world."[32]
Rosemary Carroll
Grant claims to have spoken to Cobain's attorney, Rosemary Carroll, at her office on April 13, 1994. He says that she pressed him to investigate Cobain's death, and claimed that Cobain was not suicidal. She also told Grant that Cobain had asked her to draw up a will excluding Love because he was planning to file for divorce. Grant claims that this was the motive for Cobain's death.[33] Carroll has not commented publicly on the matter.
