“ The problem is, among other things, Cobain was found dead in an anatomically impossible position to have pulled the trigger.”

Plus, he had so much heroin in his system he would have been unconscious before he could have even pulled the needle from his arm. Over three times a lethal dose.

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.

It didn't make the mess that investigators have seen time and time again. That got some people digging, and several other inconsistencies were found. Whether it's enough to overturn the original report of 'death by suicide' remains to be seen.

Most investigators will tell you every crime/death scene is different, and there may be some loose ends they just can't tie up. Cobain was suffering from depression, and he was using heavy drugs, but that doesn't automatically mean he killed himself. A fresh set of eyes on the evidence can't hurt.

20 years ago they already made a film about this.

Human beings are prone to conspiracy theories.

I would assume that if someone is shot in the head with a shotgun, their body might contort based on automatic uncontrolled muscle contraction and eventual rigor mortis....
On the other hand I was certainly out of the grudge music loop. Ya’ think grundge folk eventually became Marxists and took Seattle down the toilet?

I think Samuel L. Jackson should play Cobain.

It seems he touched a chord with sulking Gen Xers and even a few Boomers. Neil Young liked him.

We all knew at the time that Courtney did it. We were just amazed she got away with it.

Same here. She came out with two hit albums after that then nothing else. I don’t believe she pulled the trigger but I believe she coaxed him into doing so

I believe she was afraid of him leaving her for Francis’ nanny. She was greedy and unhappy with the terms of their prenuptial agreement, and wanted to take all of his wealth upon his death. Plus she was in a narcissistic rage that he was cheating on her so she had him killed or she killed him.

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

For that matter, same for Dave Grohl, just terrible.

Because Grunge was considered to be a left-wing thing.

It was ruled a suicide at the scene. When the PI wanted to share his evidence of foul play with the investigator on scene, he was turned down and told it was a suicide, nothing more.

Why now?

Seattle is having publicity issues on other fronts.

100% She either did it or more likely had it done. I thought this was just common knowledge.
