New Evidence Suggests Kurt Cobain Murder
10 Feb
Summary
- Forensic scientists suggest Kurt Cobain's death was homicide, not suicide.
- Autopsy findings reveal inconsistencies with an instantaneous gunshot death.
- A new peer-reviewed paper questions the scene's organization and note authenticity.
New forensic analysis suggests Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain's 1994 death may have been a homicide, challenging the long-standing suicide ruling. An unofficial team of scientists re-examined the autopsy and crime scene materials, with specialist Brian Burnett concluding, "This is a homicide."
Their peer-reviewed paper outlines ten points of evidence suggesting Cobain was incapacitated by a heroin overdose before being shot. Evidence cited includes organ damage consistent with overdose, not a rapid gunshot, and a staged crime scene.
The forensic report questions the clean appearance of Cobain's hand and the placement of the shotgun, as well as the organized state of his heroin kit. They also note inconsistencies in the alleged suicide note, suggesting parts were not written by Cobain.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office maintains its original suicide determination but states it is open to new evidence. The scientific team seeks transparency and a re-examination of the evidence, emphasizing their goal is not to assign blame but to uncover the truth.
