I want to write a little on the Kurt Cobain’s death. His death occurred around 5. April 1994. Kurt was leader of Nirvana, world most famous Grunge band. Officially he died after he shot himself. But this is where a conspiracy starts.
Kurt Cobain was of weird breed. Born on 20 February 1967, he was showing interest in music very early in life. As all of us he had a few important events that shaped himself and indirectly the reminder of his life. One such event happened in 1975, when he was just 8 years old. His parents divorced and this left young Kurt crippled in a sense that he didn’t have the typical American family that he craved for (he said:” I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family”). Also he was famous his drug use, started using marijuana rather early in life and later on moving to heroin. In school he tried to avoid sport as much as possible while committing himself to music and arts as much as possible.
His band Nirvana is famous for performing “Smells like teen spirit”, a song that probably everyone has heard. A lot of people claim he ripped of Pixies which is in fact true. He himself admitted he wanted to create the ultimate pop song by following their example. But still “Smells like teen spirit” has that grunge flow of loud parts followed by quieter parts. The song ended as number 1 song on many charts.
Back to his death. Many people offered their conclusions on this case. The main point of discussion is that it’s not easy for one to shoot himself with a shotgun while being seriously overdosed on heroin. In fact he had over 3 times of a lethal even to the serious heroin addict. And heroin is a very fast drug. Heroin is so quick that overdosed people are usually found with needles still in them. They didn’t have time to even finish the shot.
In Nick Broomfield’s documentary “Kurt and Courtney” he found a doctor claiming that his patient could stand and balance on one leg for more than 30 seconds after taking methadone. After this episode Nick Broomfield changed his opinion and started to believe that Kurt in fact did killed himself. Of course the main difference here is that patient SWALLOWED METHADONE. Swallowing drug makes a drug slower acting and less effective. And methadone isn’t heroin so there is a big difference here, which Nick Broomfield wasn’t aware of (at least in that point in time).
His wife was Courtney Love, famous for her need to be famous, heard of and rich. Although as everyone, she probably has her good sides; if Kurt Cobain died she is a very likely suspect. And in deed, conspiracy theorists claim that she hired someone to shoot him. In fact El Duce of The Mentors( story in his own) claimed that Courtney approached him and wanted him to shoot Kurt but El Duce(being the kind of the guy he was) passed out after drinking heavily.
Kurt had a child with Courtney Love that he loved very much. This is another argument that conspiracy theorists use to prove that Kurt wouldn’t and couldn’t kill himself. Kurt did leave a suicide notice, but as most of his lyrics the notice isn’t very comprehensible.
