Kurt Cobain -- Murder or Suicide?
0 2016-09-13 by lynn_ro
This has always been something that I've felt strongly about. I grew up in the Nirvana era, and one of the first bands that my older brother introduced to me at a young age was in fact Nirvana.
I probably was the only 4 year old in the world who sang along to Penny Royal Tea.
That being said, over the years, I've read a lot about Kurt. He was a very interesting person, and made some really poor choices, but his death really bothers me. To the point of--if I suddenly came into a lot of money, I would put some into investigating it more thoroughly.
I really do believe that he did not kill himself. There's too many things that were overlooked and too much shoddy investigating. As time goes on, I figured someone would either prove me right or prove me wrong, but it still seems (almost 15 years later) that no ones really proven anything.
I realize there's already been threads about Kurt in the past, I looked. Nothing recent.
I really just want to discuss this as most of my buds think I'm a little loony for hanging on to this for so long.
So, reddit, what are your thoughts?

Courtney did it.

She may not have done it, but she knew and rode on those coattails for as long as her nose could handle the coke.

Throw in Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and maybe other true artists who had a lot of influence on culture and who died too young.
I keep seeing recurring rumors that Paul McCartney was offed - and they put a body double in his place. Which would explain why McCartney has been making shit songs since the 70s.

Interesting video on the fake Paul conspiracy.

Courtney fucking Love. Bitch killed him for the money. She'd never be anyone if not for him.
2 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
I think she killed him for a lot of reasons. Money, divorce, custody of Frances Bean.
She made Kurt sign a pre nup, eh?
1 materhern 2016-09-13
And then piggy backed his name ever since, using his old things and name to make money for herself.
2 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
Absolutely. She's a bit of a disgrace.

Why do you believe he's dead?
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
Hahaha. Good question. I've never questioned it to be honest. I don't think he faked it. What reason did he have?
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
Several. Tax evasion, band falling apart, heroin addiction, becomes born again christian, wants out of superstardom, ambition etc...
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
Interesting. Do you believe this?
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
If it's impossible to show he's dead, then he must be alive. It's not a matter of belief.
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
Why is it impossible to show he's dead?
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
No crime scene photos identify a dead Kurt Cobain. No autopsy photos either.
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
I suppose, but I find it a bit of a reach. I have see photos of him from the waist down though. Haha
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
That's hardly convincing is it?
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
I never thought that he wasn't dead... I still don't really.
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
So you're going to go with faith in authority? Those photos aren't convincing to me.
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
It feels far fetched.
1 JTRIG_trainee 2016-09-13
it is far fetched. but so is the suicide story - lacking evidence.
1 callmebaiken 2016-09-13
Why did the police fall for it and so stubbornly refuse to reopen the case?
1 lynn_ro 2016-09-13
Very valid question.

Murder 100% by a hit team employed by Courtney. First watch the film "Soaked in Bleach" then go over to "Those Conspiracy Guys" here: https://thoseconspiracyguys.com/kurt-cobain/ they did the best rundown ever on the whole thing with information you never heard (podcast episode is at the bottom of the page). Then finally go on over to Ed Opperman's investigation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1TjgHy5aB0 It's a 2-hour podcast with his guest Hank Harrison. For those who do not know, Mr. Harrison is Courtney Love's biological father and he runs down Courtney's nefarious history including her intelligence connections as one-time girlfriend of a CIA agent!

Suicide
Proof?
Suicide Attempts-(None of these were made up by Courtney) When Kurt was 14 he tried to fuck a girl in a special ed class. Everyone heard of it and started calling him the "retard fucker", after that Kurt went down to the train tracks and waited for the 11:00 train but it went on the other track besides him.
Nirvana was on tour in 1989, the crowd humiliated Kurt so much to the point where he had a nervous breakdown then he climbed on 30 amplifiers and threatned to jump. After that he said he was ending the band
In 1993, I think, Kurt and Courtney got into an argument and Courtney just kept picking on him, so much so that when the argument was over Kurt threatned to jump off of the balcony
In 1994, Rome, Kurt set up a party at the nicest hotel in Rome for Courtney, when she arrived Kurt went all "Mr.Romance" on her, but she just took some pills and went to bed. Kurt wrote a note saying Courtney doesn't love him, and he overdosed. Kurt tried to kill himself many times in '94. Courtney mainly caused it.
Reasons-When Kurt was in rehab I think, he passed out and dropped Frances. Courtney called and told him that then he freaked out.
Courtney
Childhood trauma
Fame
Humiliation
Guilt
Evidence-Like I mentioned Kurt attempted suicide multiple times and he said that he was suicidal at a point in his life.
Kurt wrote about wanting to kill himself in his journals.
Crime scene-Kurt was found with one hand clutching a Remington M11 shotgun upside down to his mouth, blood coming out of his ear, a bruise on his head, a blister on his thumb and a bullet to his left, near him were drugs, a coat, glasses and, a root beer. Kurt had a large amount of heroin in his system at the time, 3 times the lethal dose. The gun had no fingerprints on it.
Kurt and gun-Since Kurt was so fuckin' high, he was probably flimsy with the shot gun. The bruise came from him smacking his head off of the gun, there are no finger prints because if your hands keep sliding, it's just gonna leave (Pat) smears. Kurt probably was holding the gun losely at an angle that (When he shot himself) caused the gun to flip over before he gripped it. The blister was probably caused by Kurt cutting his finger on the gun because he pulled the trigger quickly.
Face it, Kurt did kill himself.
