Someone wants Kurt Cobain’s death investigated as a homicide. This has to stop

Once again, someone has decided that they've got proof that Kurt Cobain was murdered. This requires another debunking.

When something bad happens, we want to know why. The weirder and worse the event, the more we need to know. Such things can’t possibly be random and spontaneous. Someone or something needs to be responsible and held accountable.

Blame has to be assigned. And there had better not be any loose ends. If there are, that just opens the door wide open to conspiracy theories.

Along with flat-earth nutters, moon landing deniers, those who believe COVID-19 vaccines contain tracking nanochips, and people trying to tell us that 5G is killing the population, there’s a dedicated group who refuse to believe that Kurt Cobain took his own life on April 5, 1994. Every once in a while, another bunch pop up claiming that they know the truth about Kurt’s death. And it’s happening again.

Kurt’s body was found on the morning of Friday, April 8. An electrician who had been hired to do some work on the house Kurt shared with his wife, Courtney Love, at 171 Lake Washington Blvd. East, thought he saw something through the window of the backyard greenhouse. It appeared to be a body sprawled on the floor. When police arrived, they discovered Kurt dead of a self-inflicted shotgun blast to the head.

I was on the air that day.

In short order, his death was ruled a suicide. But even all these years later, there are still those who refuse to believe that.

A group of “unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists” — in other words, they’ve “done their own research” over the course of a whopping three days — say they have gathered enough evidence to prove that Kurt was murdered. They went through Kurt’s autopsy report, looked at records of crime scene materials, and consulted a specialist who knows something about gunshot deaths and drug use.
