Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s 1994 death has been declared a homicide by a Seattle Police captain who was ordered to probe the “botched” investigation in 2005.

“I think it’s a homicide, and I do think the case should be reopened,” former police captain Neil Low, who retired in 2018 after spending 50 years with the Seattle Police Department (SPD), told Daily Mail.

Low — who was a police commander at the time of Cobain’s death, and had been asked by his chief to probe the case in 2005 — added that he believes investigators failed to treat the initial scene as a potential homicide, calling the original SPD investigation “botched.”

“I just am not buying that Kurt did that to himself,” the retired police captain said, insisting that the physical evidence from Cobain’s death scene “does not add up.”

Low claims the case was mishandled from the start, and questions whether proper forensic procedures were followed. The veteran police captain also suggested the scene could have even been staged to make it look like the Nirvana singer had taken his own life. ...

Dead rock star died of drug overdose. What's to investigate?

Maybe Oliver Stone can make another movie. Cast Joe Pesci as Cobain.

[A_perfect_lady]

No, he was shot. My sister was always convinced that his wife did it.

[AppyPappy]

“Cast Joe Pesci as Cobain.”

Nah. Whoopi Goldberg

[FLT-bird]

Its 30 years later guys. I don’t know what evidence you think there is to discover now. Cobain offed himself with a shotgun so I’d imagine it made quite a mess.

[Tommy Revolts]

Courtney Love, she’s whacked.

[ViLaLuz]

Here’s the documentary of a private investigation done on the circumstances of Cobain’s death. The PI was hired by Courtney Love. Once the investigator found the evidence pointed to her as involved, she cut him off. He attempted to provide report to the PD but they weren’t interested.

I always thought Love was involved. She wanted him dead but didn’t want to get her hands dirty so she had one of her flying monkeys do it.

In such circumstances I am always forced to ask, “why now.”

Why is this being opening at this time?

[equaviator]

I’ve never understood why Cobain is supposed to be such an important figure.

No, he died of a shotgun wound to the head. The problem is, among other things, Cobain was found dead in an anatomically impossible position to have pulled the trigger.

Courtney angered someone somehow?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

And in other news from Seattle, the Mayor has declared homeless people now get to own and occupy whatever they want.

[Greg123456]

Cuz his name is in the Epstein files?

[ViLaLuz]

Our maybe the Seattle officials are finally retiring and speaking out in an attempt to cover their incompetent butts.

[ViLaLuz]

Good point.

I’ve never understood why Cobain is supposed to be such an important figure.

Cause he almost single-handedly destroyed the awesomist sub-genre of music ever. 80s hair metal. It was like being at a great party until people drink too much and the mood turns and people start puking in the toilet. Music was fun, then it was depressed.

Screw you Nirvana and Pearl Jam!

Thanks for that link.

Maybe Francis Bean is talking of suing someone?
