Some call it the day rock died but in all actuality it was the day rock legend and lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Donald Cobain, was shot through the mouth. He was found in the greenhouse of his estate with a shotgun blast through the mouth. Even though Kurt's death was labeled off as a suicide there is substantial evidence that he was murdered and his wife, Courtney Love, had something to do with it.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Argument 1: One of the reasons which shows that Kurt Cobain was murdered is the quote-unquote suicide note. The main part of the note explains Kurt's feelings about the music business. He explains how he is not having fun anymore and that it was no longer what he wanted to do, there is absolutely no mention of suicide. Tom Grant, a Private Investigator, who has been very involved with the Cobain case said this about what Kurt talked about, “His claims of leaving music make sense considering all the reports after his death that he told people he was leaving Nirvana, which is why he canceled Lollapalooza.”</div> <div> The only part of the note which indicates suicide is the last four lines which as you can see on your papers say, “Please keep going Courtney, for Frances (his daughter) for her life which will be so much happier without me. I love you. I Love You.” It doesn't take an expert in handwriting to see that these last lines are in a completely different style of handwriting than the rest of the note. Besides, these lines have absolutely nothing to do with the parts that were obviously Kurt's handwriting. When the case aired on “Unsolved Mysteries,” a television show which has solved mysterious deaths, two of the world's top handwriting experts were hired to independently examine the note. Both Marcel Matley and Reginald Alton concluded that the last lines were written by a different person. These men, along with other experts around the world have concluded that the note contained at least twelve characteristics inconsistent with the other samples of Cobain's writing from that period.</div> <div>      </div> <bR> <div> Argument 2: Right before his death, Kurt had his lawyer draw up divorce papers for his marriage to Courtney Love. At the time of his death, Kurt's estate was worth, by conservative estimates, at least 30 million dollars. Due to a per-nuptial agreement Courtney demanded, if divorce proceedings had been carried out prior to the release of Courtney's album, “Live Through This,” Courtney would be left with no more than 1 million and future child support. And if Kurt died Courtney was left with everything, all 30 million. This gives Courtney a major motive for killing him which is almost always the motive; money.</div> <bR> <div> Argument 3: Right before Kurt's death, Courtney Love bribed a rock singer, Eldon Hoke, 50,000 dollars to kill Kurt. Love reportedly told Hoke, “I'll give you fifty thousand dollars to blow his f***ing head off. Make it look like a suicide,” as reported in “High Times” magazine. In March of 1996, Hoke was administered a polygraph test by Dr. Edward Gelb, one of the country's leading polygraph experts, and passed the test “beyond the possibility of deception.” According to Gelb, Hoke's story is completely truthful. On April 19, 1997, Eldon or El Duce, as was his stage name, was found dead in Riverside, California eight days after his story was filmed by BBC filmmaker Nick Broomfield. Friends of Hoke told authorities that he and a new friend were going to the liquor store and would be back in an hour. El Duce was hit by a train that night and the “friend” was never seen again.</div> <bR> <div> Argument 4: A couple of other interesting pieces of evidence are that there were o fingerprints on anything. There were also extra shotgun shells and evidence that somebody had access to Cobain after he died. And SPD report confirmed there were no identifiable fingerprints on the shotgun, the shotgun shells, or the pen used to write the “suicide note.” That a suicidal man high on narcotics would not have left one identifiable fingerprint on a newly purchased suicide weapon is highly unlikely. It is much more likely that Cobain's prints would be all over the gun. Another thing is that the shotgun was loaded with two additional rounds of ammunition. Why would a suicidal man put more than one round into the gun he would immediately fire? Did he think he'd miss? The SPD also admitted that someone had access to the body after Cobain's death. Cobain's credit card was used several times after he was officially deceased but the SPD still did not believe that this was enough to open the investigation.</div> <bR> <div> Argument 5: At the time of his death, Kurt Cobain had so much heroin/morphine (heroin turns into morphine once it enters the bloodstream) that there was no way he could've moved. Cobain's morphine/blood level was a remarkable 1.52 mg per litre which is three times the lethal dose for a heavy user. Even for a severe addict the lethal dose is .5 mg per litre can be fatal. Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, one of the country's leading forensic pathologists, states, “With a level of 1.52 mg per litre of morphine as found in Kurt's blood level, for the great percentage of people, including addicts, it would induce a state of unconsciousness quite quickly, in seconds, not even in minutes.” Even if Kurt could've been awake there is no way he could've rolled his sleeves down and buttoned them, boxed away his heroin paraphernalia, picked a Remington 12-gauge shotgun and shot himself. Dr. Wecht states that it would have been virtually impossible to do so. It wouldn't even be possible for Kurt to put that much heroin in his body which indicates that Kurt wasn't alone and they injected it after he passed out. In close to 50,000 suicides in twenty years in the US, several researchers have been unable to find a suicide in which a shotgun blast has occurred with a heroin overdose where the morphine/blood level was where Kurt's was. Most addicts prefer an overdose for suicide, as it is painless. It is highly unlikely that one would choose a shotgun blast coupled with a heroin overdose for a suicide. All of this evidence clearly shows that Kurt was immobile when he died and couldn't of performed the deeds he was labeled with.</div> <bR> <div> Conclusion: So as we think back to April 5, 1994 and the days afterward we remember all the sadness and anger people felt about Kurt's death. Somehow I know that all of those crying faces could light up just a little if the truth was found out about Kurt Cobain's death. But like Kurt wrote in his final note, “It's better to burn out than to fade away.”</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Copyright © 2000 by Randal</div> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=40 BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="100"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="35" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="100"></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
