Reopen the Kurt Cobain case


Reopen the Kurt Cobain case
The Issue
On April 8, 1994, Nirvana frontman and Generation X icon Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle, Washington home at the age of 27. The police rushed through the investigation and concluded he had committed suicide via a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the end.
BACKGROUND
Nirvana was formed by Cobain and his friend Krist Novoselic in 1987. They went through a series of drummers until finally settling on former SCREAM drummer Dave Grohl in 1990.
In 1991, the band was launched into stardom with their hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" off of their album Nevermind (1991), an album often credited for introducing grunge to a wide audience. For the next few years, Cobain and Nirvana were the most popular band in the world, with Cobain unwillingly being branded the "spokesperson of a generation". He was uncomfortable with this name and often resented his fame.
In 1993, he and his band released their final studio album, In Utero (1993). They spent several months touring to promote the album and gave what was to become their last performance on March 1, 1994 in Munich, Germany.
SUSPICIOUS DETAILS SURROUNDING HIS DEATH (Credit to www.cobaincase.com):
KURT WAS FACING A DIVORCE
Kurt was in the process of leaving Seattle and his wife Courtney, when he was found dead.
Courtney knew Kurt wanted out of the marriage. Just weeks prior to his death, she asked one of her attorneys to get the "meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer" she could find.
SOMEONE WAS USING KURT'S CREDIT CARD
One of Kurt's credit cards was missing when his body was discovered.
Someone was attempting to use the missing credit card after Cobain died, but the attempts stopped when his body was discovered.
COBAIN WAS IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE
The shotgun found at the scene was purchased BEFORE Cobain left for rehab in Los Angeles, NOT AFTER he fled the rehab as reported by misinformed media sources.
The shotgun was fully loaded with three shells. It was purchased and loaded for protection, not suicide.
The police claim there were no legible fingerprints on this shotgun!
The truth is, the shotgun wasn't even checked for fingerprints until May 6th, nearly one month after Cobain's body was found.
THERE WAS NO "SUICIDE" NOTE!
The note found at the scene by the police was immediately labeled as a "suicide note." The police report states it was "apparently written by Cobain to his wife and daughter, explaining why he had killed himself."
But this note was not addressed to Kurt's wife and daughter and it says nothing about "killing himself!" This note was clearly written to Cobain's fans telling them he was quitting the music business. There was only a short footnote to Courtney and Frances and the handwriting contained in those lines has been questioned by several handwriting experts.
