On April 8, 1994, an electrician named Gary Smith arrived at a Seattle mansion to install a new security system. He glanced through the window above the garage, and he saw what he thought was a mannequin lying on the floor. Except it wasn't a mannequin. It was Kurt Cobain, the voice of a generation, the reluctant king of grudge. Dead at 27 with a shotgun beside him and his note in his pocket. Case closed. Rockstar does too many drugs, can't handle the fame, and ends his own life. It's tragic, but it's not totally surprising. Except that's not what the evidence fully points to. For 30 years, the official story has been new private forensic analysis conducted by experts who weren't on Seattle PD's payroll suggests something that the police didn't conclude, that Kurt Cobain was murdered. Now, the evidence had been hiding in plain sight the entire time. So today we're jumping into all the details behind Kurt Cobain's death, who was potentially involved, and what are the discrepancies with the evidence. So sit back, relax, and welcome to camp. What's up, people? And welcome back to camp. My name is Mark Gagnon, and thank you for joining me in my tent, where every single week, we explore the most interesting, fascinating, and controversial stories from all around the world. From all time, forever. Yes. And this one is no different. Thank you guys so much for joining me. Truly, you make my dreams come true. Every time you comment, you, like, you subscribe, you, you know, you rip Christos in the comments. It just truly warms my heart, and it helps run this whole operation we got going here, and it helps keep the fire burning here at the campsite. Speaking of which, Christos, how are you doing? Great. All right, Christos, we don't have time because we're talking about Kurt Cobain, all right? Do you remember when he passed away? I don't. I was too young. What? Really? Yeah. No, you were like 10. Yeah, 12. Yeah, I was watching Rocket Power on MTV. Kur Cobain is lowkey. Rocket power coded. To be honest with you, Rock power is sick, dude. Remember Squid? Squid was great. He was the sickest one. Anyway, this is a diversion. See, this is why we can't let Christos get too much air time. Just goes straight to his head. Today we're talking about Kurt Cobain. Now, I got a text from my brother, like, yesterday or two days ago, like, two in the morning, like, dude, new article on Kurt Cobain's death. And I was like, what? And he was like, some people are Saying it's a murder. Now, this is something that I felt for a long time, I just thought the circumstances around his death were always a little bit strange. Okay, now, this is not going to be your typical, like, oh, Courtney love definitely killed him. Da da da da. I know a lot of people have been saying that throughout the years. I'm not going to draw any strong conclusion here. I'm just going to go through the evidence, some of the discrepancies, and maybe float some different theories as to why so many people believe that there was some type of conspiracy here. All right, so let's start with what we were told. Let's just go through the Official story. Okay. March 1994. Kurt Cobain was in Rome with his wife, Courtney love. He overdosed on rohipinol and champagne. What Courtney initially called an accident, then later admitted was side attempt. He was rushed to the hospital, fell into a coma, but then he survived. And then a few weeks later, on March 30, Courtney staged an intervention at their Seattle home. Kurt was using heavily at this point. His marriage was crumbling, and those that were the closest to him were very worried. Then the intervention didn't work. Kurt basically fled. And on April 1, he checked into the exodus recovery center in Los Angeles, and less than 48 hours later, he climbed over a six foot fence and disappeared. And for the next week, no one really knew where Kurt cobain was. Then on April 8, Gary Smith found the body. Kurt had been dead for approximately three days, meaning he likely died on April 5, 1994. And the scene was basically this, a room above the garage at his Seattle house called the greenhouse. A shotgun lay across his chest, a note basically right there, and drug paraphernalia on the floor. And the cause of death was a single gunshot blast to the head. And the ruling pretty obviously was the Seattle police closed the case within a few days. No autopsy was performed beyond what was legally required, and the investigation was pretty minimal. I mean, it's pretty clear what happened, right? You have this, you know, young rock star that is absolutely wrapped up in this lifestyle. He's doing a lot of drugs, he's going to rehab regularly, and he just can't handle the amount of pressure that's building and chooses to take his own life. It's tragic, but basically, for 30 years, that was the story. But then things start to show up in the evidence. And here's where it gets complicated. The first issue is the heroin. Okay, now let me just point this out. I'm not a toxicologist. I'm Not a drug specialist. I've never even done heroin. But here's what people have said. So when Kurt Cobain's body is examined, his blood contained 1.52 milligrams of morphine per liter. So 1.5. We can round 1.5 milligrams per liter of morphine, which is the metabolized form of heroin. Okay? And to put that in perspective, that is approximately three times the legal dose for you or I. If we had 1.5 milligrams of our system, we would just be dead from a overdose. Now, keep in mind, Kurt Cobain at this point was a addict, so of course, his threshold would be much higher. Now, there are discrepancies regarding, like, free morphine versus, you know, all the other forms and how it can show up in your body and how an actual addict would deal with this level of drug in his bloodstream. And this is where the discrepancy lies. But for most people, there has been a lot of, you know, scientists and researchers that have suggested that this amount of. Of in his bloodstream for anyone would be the result in just an overdose. So at that level of intoxication, medical experts have consistently said that Cobain would have just been immediately incapacitated. He would have just been unconscious and probably overdosed. And, you know, within seconds of that injection, he'd have just been laying on the ground. So how did he inject a triple lethal dose of. And then put away the needles and, you know, put the paraphernalia next to him, pick up the shotgun, and then off? Now, the answer, according to several toxicologists, is that it might not be possible. So, Dr. Cyril Wecht, one of the most respected forensic. Forensic pathologists in America, and this is the man who reviewed the evidence on the JFK assassination and the JonBenet Ramsey case. He examined Kurt Cobain's autopsy files, and his conclusion that the levels make this suicide theory extremely unlikely, if not impossible. That's a direct quote. Now, someone that intoxicated would have a difficult time trying to do these fine motor functions required to operate a shotgun as such a precarious sort of orientation. And then there's the note. So this side note that was found at the scene is four pages long. And for most of those pages, Kurt is writing to his fans. He's expressing frustration with fame and with the music industry and with feeling like a fraud. And it basically reads like a goodbye to music, like a farewell to his career and, you know, maybe stepping back, not necessarily, you know, ending his life. I mean, some Exact quotes I haven't felt the excitement of listening to, as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years. Now I feel guilty beyond words about these things. Some have suggested that that's not someone saying goodbye to existence. It's just someone maybe stepping away from their career, maybe going to try to switch things up, maybe stop touring as much. And then at the very bottom of the note, some people have suggested that the handwriting switches and that the tone changes. The final line, the only part that actually sounds extremely more anguished, are written in a different style. The letters are more angular and the pressure on the pen is different. And multiple handwriting experts have analyzed the note, and several have concluded that the final lines may have been added by a different person. Now, if that's true, that means someone took Kurt's letter, maybe from a diary or a journal, and then turned it into a note. Now, it's maybe possible that Kurt was dealing with, you know, extreme anguish in his final moments, and as he was getting to the end of this note, started to feel anxious and, you know, tense, and maybe his handwriting shifted. Who's to say? Maybe he wrote it over different days and was in different mental states due to drug use. It's possible, but it is just an interesting discrepancy that people bring up when they're referencing this case specifically. Now, another detail that people have pointed out is quite suspicious and unusual is the credit card usage. Now, according to the timeline, Kurt dies on April 5, but his credit card is used multiple times between the sixth and the eighth after he's already dead. So it seems as though someone is attempting to use it. So when police investigate, they found that there were attempts made in Seattle. Someone. Now, as the story goes here, someone who has access to Kurt's wallet was trying to access his money after he was already lying dead in the greenhouse through, you know, some apparent who had access, who knew where he was, who knew that they could use this money or try to access the money without anyone asking questions. And. And this thing was never really investigated. It. No, never really, you know, drew any significant attention. What is that? What is the cause of that? I mean, it's possible that the timeline of his death is maybe a little bit off. I doubt it. I mean, it seems like the coroner and the autopsy team suggested that he died on the fifth. And so the fact that there's credit card usage after that date seems suspicious. Is it possible that it's a close friend of his? Maybe someone had a duplicate? Is it possible? Maybe it was a girlfriend? That didn't know. And, you know, maybe Courtney Love had it and didn't realize that he had been dead and was using his credit card. It's not uncommon for a wife to use her husband's credit card. So is it possible this is just a innocuous misunderstanding? Or is there a chance that there's some type of more nefarious, sinister. Sinister behavior at play? Who's to say? Now, before Kurt Cobain died, his wife, Courtney Love hired a private investigator named Tom Grant. And she hired him to find Kurt after he fled rehab. And Grant was supposed to track him down and then basically tell the family where he is or even just bring him home himself. But Tom Grant didn't just find Kurt. He found something completely different. Evidence that convinced him that Kurt Cobain was murdered. Now, Grant has spent the last 30 years investigating this case. He's interviewed witnesses and analyzed evidence and built a case that he believes point to. Points to one conclusion and one conclusion only, that Kurt Cobain says did not kill off. Now, according to Grant's investigation, the shotgun that was used for this alleged was wiped clean. No clear fingerprints were found on the weapon. Not Kurt's, not anyone's. I mean, if Kurt shot himself, the prints would have obviously been on the gun. And, you know, maybe Kurt was using latex gloves that were never found. Like, how else would you commit suide with a weapon, but your fingerprints are not on the weapon at all? Now, the doors to the greenhouse were locked from the inside, but there's a second entrance that could have been accessed from the outside. So someone could have entered, staged the scene, and then exited without leaving through the main door. Possible, but strange. Now, perhaps the most strange element from all of Grant's investigation is that he believes that Courtney Love was practicing Kurt Cobain's handwriting in the weeks before his death. Now, again, this is not an accusation against Courtney Love. I have no idea. And she has not been charged for the death of Kurt. Kurt Cobain. But it is worth mentioning that this investigator, Tom Grant, claims to have evidence of handwriting practice sheets that match the style of the final lines of the suit note. So the story here goes that perhaps Cordylove was practicing his, you know, style and then was getting the handwriting perfectly. And that according to Tom Grant, if you look at the final line of Kurt Cobain's official note and this handwriting sheet that Cordylove was allegedly using, they match up. Is it true? Only Tom Grant knows, and he has dedicated much of his life to this case. What's up, people? We're Going to take a break really quick because I got to give a shout out to the good folks at Dylan Optics. I mean, for the longest time, I've been wanting a sunglass partner, and I'm so glad that it's a great sunglass brand. All right, if you've ever seen me on stage ever, or just on this podcast with my hair down, I always have sunglasses. I use them to keep my hair back. But now with Dylan Optics, I can also use them on my eyes because I swear, when I put these things on, life was in hd. All right, They've got this patented matte lens technology that kills internal reflections. My least favorite thing is when you're putting on glasses and you can like see glare on the side.

So go check it out. Thank you, Dylan Optics, for making this possible. And let's get back to the show. Now, this is all the stuff that people have known for many years, but there's brand new information published February 2026 that is blowing this entire case completely open. A team of forensic scientists led by specialist Brian Burnett, who previously worked on controversial cases like Marine Colonel James Sabo's death, just released a peer reviewed paper in the International Journal of Forensic Science. This is a legit study. After just three days of examining the evidence, Burnett reportedly said, this is a homicide. We've got to do something about this now. Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins, who worked with the team, laid out their findings. And they are pretty strange. The scene, as they said, is like, too perfect. So here's an actual quote. To me, it looks like someone staged a movie and wanted to be absolutely certain this was a side that's what Wilkin said the receipt for the gun is in his pocket. The receipt for the shells is in his pocket. The shells are lined up at his feet. His sleeves were rolled back. The kit was found several feet away. And here's the crazy part. It contained capped syringes, cotton buds, and pieces of black of roughly equal size. This is basically what the public is supposed to believe, that he capped the needles and then put everything back in order and basically packed up like this perfect little kit, like a Japanese bento box, and then put it away from him. And then after shooting up three times, by the way, this massive dose of. I mean, if you ask any forensic, you know, investigators are notoriously messy. And, you know, there are brutal and tragic for a multitude of reasons, but almost certainly there's. There's disarray. The external sort of matches the internal and that there's this internal, you know, chaos that's happening. And typically the outside matches that. But this case, it was very clean and very organized. Now, it's not impossible, but it's just unusual. Now, the second revealing from this, from this study is that the autopsy showed organ damage that doesn't happen in gunshot deaths. Now, here's kind of the smoking gun, no pun intended. Cobain's autopsy showed fluid in the lungs, bleeding in the eyes, and damage to the brain and liver. And it's necrosis, specifically. Now, necrosis of the brain and liver happens in an overdose. That's what Wilkins said. It doesn't happen in a shotgun death. Necrosis is literally just like the. The, you know, the cells, the tissue itself just decaying. And in overdoses, it's much more common. Whereas in a shock and death, it's just going to be a traumatic, you know, injury to the brain that's going to cause, you know, immediate cessation of life. Now, these findings suggest that Kurt's body was starved of oxygen before the gunshot. If you have necrosis of the brain, that's going to mean that you are already experiencing overdose prior to getting shot. And again, he had both necrosis of the brain as well as the gunshot wound. But it's difficult to have both if you are the operator of the gun. This, as the story goes, and again, they're not accusing anyone, but just the implication is that he may have been dying from an overdose and someone else pulled the trigger to make it look like from a shotgun. The other detail that's interesting is that the shotgun shell is in the wrong place. The team actually replicated the weapon to test this, and Wilkins said, you Know, if your hand is on the forward barrel where Kurt's hand was reported to be, the gun wouldn't eject a shell at all. This is what Michelle Wilkins had has, you know, proposed. But a shell was found at the scene on top of a pile of clothes in the opposite direction from where it should have ejected. So not only is there a shell where it shouldn't be, there shouldn't even be a shotgun shell. Does that make sense if you never fired a shotgun? Basically, when you clear it, the shell will eject a specific direction. And if you're holding the gun yourself, you should expect the shell to go a specific direction, but yet the shell is in the opposite direction. Strange. And furthermore, um, according to Wilkins, and again, I'm not a shotgun expert. I'm not a, you know, an explosives guy, right? But according to Wilkins, there shouldn't even be a shell at all. So what's happening here? This is so strange. And there's another finding from this. If this is not compelling enough, Kurt's hand was extremely clean. His left hand was wrapped around the muzzle end of the gun barrel. But, you know, if you look at photos, the actual shotgun and the suit, there's blood everywhere, like smoke and soot and, you know, gunpowder residue all over. And according to Wilkins, this is a quote. There's no universe where the hand is not covered in blood. His hand is so clean, the forensic team believes that his hand was placed on the weapon after death. Now, another piece of evidence is that the body was moved. This is what Wilkins and the team in this, you know, independent study concluded. There's blood at the bottom of his shirt. Wilkins noted the only way the blood would get on his shirt is if Kurt was lifted and his head was down. There's no blood on his hand. There's no blood on the rest of his shirt, but there's a big blood stain at the bottom. Now, to this team, it suggests that perhaps someone picked him up, moved him, and then staged the scene. Now, the team's conclusion from this is that Kurt Cobain was confronted by one or maybe even more assailants who forced a. An overdose to incapacitate him. Or perhaps they suggested that he do while they're there. Perhaps someone that he trusted. Who's to say? And then they shot him in the head, placed the gun in his arms, and left behind a forged note. Now, this ultimately is going to be the biggest question of this entire saga. Why it's not unfathomable to believe that someone got murdered, right? Especially someone like Kurt Cobain. I mean, famous rock stars get murdered somewhat frequently. But why? What is the meaning behind this? Why would someone do this? And this is where we're going to kind of speculate here a little bit. Okay? And again, no one has been charged in the murder of Kurt Cobain. So all the people that I mentioned here are fully innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Let me just say, make that very clear. But in the weeks before his death, there were reports that Kurt was planning to divorce Courtney Lee. According to multiple sources close to the couple, Kurt had contacted a divorce attorney, and he was basically trying to get out of the marriage. And. And here's why that matters. Kurt and Courtney had a prenuptial agreement. If you've never heard of that, it was a prenup. And if they got divorced, Courtney would get very little. And Kurt's fortune, his royalties, the masters, the shares of, you know, all the Nirvana sales, his. His estate, you could say, would remain mostly in his hands. But if Kurt died while they were still married, Courtney would inherit everything, and she basically did. After Kurt's death, Courtney Love became the sole owner of Kurt Cobain's estate, His likeness and his music catalog, and sold portions of it over the years, trying to, you know, take care of herself and her family and made a large sum of money. The same prenup that would have left her with nothing in a divorce was basically nullified and never utilized. And instead, she became a very wealthy woman in rock and roll after his death. Now, does that prove anything? No, of course not. Financial motive or, you know, benefiting from the death of someone doesn't automatically implicate you or prove that you were involved in their murder. I think that's completely unfair. And oftentimes it's very tragic that, you know, someone will pass away and their spouse will inherit a bunch of money, and then people assume that they are happy that this happened. Most of the time, when this happens, you know, someone dies in a tragic way, their spouse gets a bunch of money, they're heartbroken, and they're almost disgusted that they have this money. And they say, I'd rather just have the person I love back in my life. Now, I think it is fair to point it out, but we should also say that these are questions that should be asked, right? I mean, any type of death, specifically a death that seems high profile or suspicious or there is a lot of, you know, money involved, it should be asked. I mean, anytime a woman is killed, the husband is interrogated almost always, and that probably should be the case. Because most of the time, when a woman dies, it's the husband's fault. That. I mean, I shouldn't say most. It happens a lot. What do you mean? I watch a lot of murder shows, and every time the wife dies, they're always just like, well, we need to talk to the husband immediately. I. I'm just saying, typically when people die, it's someone close to you. Sure, that's true. I think. I don't even think that's controversial. I think that's just a fact. I watch a lot of. A lot of murder shows. I'm with you. Yeah. Watch a Netflix show, it'll be like, okay, the woman dies, and then they investigate the husband, and they're like, where were you when this happened? He's like, oh, I was hunting. And then they look at the ring camera, and he's just there killing her. He was hunting something else. Exactly. See, that's how it go. I'm just telling you, this is every time. So this just should be asked is my point here. And it seems like the Seattle police never seriously investigated this. I mean, of course, she's a high profile person herself. She's a recent widow. I mean, Kurt Cobain is beloved. I mean, nationally. And the idea that, you know, she would have anything to do with his death is extremely, you know, is extremely baffling, you could say, to the people involved. And as a result, there's not a massive investigation from the Seattle PD I mean, there's basically no investigation in any of this other than, I mean, the crime scene was released within days. Evidence was returned to the family. The investigation was basically closed before anyone could seriously challenge the findings. What's up, guys? We're gonna take a break really quick because you know what time it is. It's time to level up. And bluechew just dropped something wild, okay?

So when Tom Grant brought his evidence to the police, he was dismissed. Remember Tom Grant? He's the private investigator that was hired by Courtney Love to track Kurt Cobain when he was escaping from rehab. Well, that all that information was just kind of like dismissed. They said, eh, this is not relevant. Forensic experts raised questions about the levels. They were ignored. Handwriting analysts questioned the. No one really follows up. Why? Some have suggested incompetence. And that's possible, right? We can go through the Occam's razor of it all and say, you know, we can just take the most simple explanation is that, you know, the Seattle PD is overwhelmed. They're under underfunded and they're dealing with this high profile case that they want to close quickly because it's just going to bleed them drive money. It's possible. Now, others have suggested there's something darker happening here, that someone with power and influence wanted this to be closed. Now, of course, the most popular person that, you know, people have pointed to over the years is Courtney Love. But it's also possible that maybe someone else was involved in this and Courtney Love was just as surprised as anyone else. And who that person is or why, I don't know. But I think at the very least there should be a question, right? I mean, Courtney Love did have lawyers and managers and publicists who could apply pressure. Maybe she was manipulated and she didn't even know it. I mean, from the moment that Kurt's body was discovered, the story was everyone just kind of accepted it. I mean, the fans were heartbroken, but the world moved on. But the evidence still just seems a little strange. And now with this new study, it's asking even more questions. And there's another ripple to the story that I personally find fascinating. How much it actually plays into this whole theory, it's hard to say, But I think it's worth mentioning. And this is the 27 Club. Kurt Cobain died at 27. This is the same age as Jimi Hendrix, Janice joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Amy winehouse. And the 27 Club has become this, like, rock and roll lore. It's like a mythology, basically. Like these young geniuses that are burning too bright. They're dying too young. And here's what's interesting. Several members of the 27 Club have deaths that were ruled as accidents or suicides, despite all this strange evidence surrounding them. So Brian Jones of the rolling Stones was found dead in his swimming pool in 1969. It was ruled as an accident. But in 2009, investigators reopened the case after a witness admit. Admitted that Jones was murdered by a builder who was working on the house. Now, the conclusion of that case we can cover at a different time. Jimi Hendrix died of asphyxiation in 1970, supposedly after taking sleeping pills and then choking on his own vomit. But his girlfriend at the time later said that he was murdered by the people who were supposed to take care of him. What does that mean? Who's to say now was Kurt Cobain just another rock star who, you know, was dealing with serious demons and unfortunately succumbed to this tragic end? Or was there some other reason? Again, we were never really told all the details about his case when it happened. So why is this case still so relevant today? I mean, Kurt Cobain was an icon. If you weren't alive while Kurt Cobain was alive, I barely was. You probably don't even realize how massive he was and what he represented for the youth of America. And by all accounts, many people that knew him closely, as well as fans around the world, would suggest that he wasn't a man who necessarily wanted to die. Now, of course, depression and ideation is very complicated and complex issue, and it doesn't look one singular way. But he seemed like a man by people that knew him, that wanted to step away and wanted to, you know, get out of the spotlight. He wanted out of his marriage, some have suggested, and he wanted out of this music industry that was consuming him. And the note that he left say that maybe there was something more to this. I mean, some more lines that were involved here. I have a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, Full of love and joy. I have to be one of those narcissists who only appreciates things when they're gone. I mean, even in his final moments, he's talking about how much he loves his daughter. Does it sound like the kind of guy or the kind of situation you would be in to try to, you know, never see her again, end your life? I don't know. But at the very least, I mean, it seems like he was very much thinking about things beyond himself. And this is what some of the researchers, specifically Michelle Wilkins, one of the people that worked on this forensic report, have noted, is that there have been copycats. In 2022, a kid took his life because he believed that Kurt Cobain did. And if Kurt Cobain was actually murdered, it sets a very different imprint on the American psyche and on the people who love Kurt Cobain. Now, the researchers in this forensic report are not asking for arrests. They're not pointing fingers at specific people or drawing any type of conclusion. All they want is for someone in authority to actually look at the evidence. If we're wrong, just prove it to us. That's what Michelle Wilkins said, and that's all we asked them to do. But once again, both the Seattle PD and the King county medical examiner's office have refused to reopen this case. They won't even consider the new evidence. And that is just an abridged look at the conspiracies and the strange discrepancies in the death of the icon Kurt Cobain. Pretty strange. Pretty, pretty strange. I mean, again, I'm just like, why? I just have so many questions about this. I, for one, love Kurt Cobain. Like most people. I mean, I'm just a massive Nirvana fan. And, like, what he represented, I mean, he was just the best. I mean, that one scene, there's, like, an interview where he's talking about, like, how. How much Madonna charges for tickets. And he's like, Madonna's charging $30 a ticket. What is going on? Like, he's just, like, aghast that this person is just, like, gouging her fans like that for live shows. I just find it just awesome. He just seems like the man. Now, of course, he was troubled. He was an addict, and he was dealing with addiction. And it's sad to see someone going through that. There's also a lot of money on the line. 250 million was allegedly Kurt's catalog and how much he was entitled to. Again, I know a lot of people blamed Cordy Love over the years. I have no interest in bagging on this woman once again, especially if she had nothing to do with it. But, I mean, she's gone through enough. I don't. I think it's unfair, but there are just a lot of strange discrepancies. And I think in the interest of, you know, full transparency and due diligence from the forensics team, there should be some type of investigation at the time and some type of questioning with lawyers present to actually get to the bottom of what's going on. Because, again, I don't know if she had anything to do with it, but I would love to exonerate her completely. I wonder if it's possible that someone around her that has a vested interest in her accessing the money could have been responsible. You know what I mean? Like, again, I don't know. I haven't done any research on it. This is just purely me speculating, let's say. Not Courtney Love or any of these people. Let's say there's a rich guy and a woman that's entitled to a bunch of money if he dies. Is it possible that like a brother or a manager or someone else that's in the scope around the situation that's like, yo, this guy's already an addict. We can. Can make this look like a side so easily. He literally makes the saddest music in the world, and we could just take him out. Our client, our sister, our child, whoever this person is, is entitled to a quarter billion dollars that's going to help all of us. I mean, people have killed for way less. It's not crazy to me. Now, I saw a tweet or a post on X.com, an X, I don't know what they call it. And I thought it was interesting that in the wake of, you know, this new study coming out, which was published by the Daily Mail, which people have, you know, considered as not the most reputable, perhaps a tabloid, they would call it in. In Britain. So in the interest of being fully transparent, that's where it was originally published. But it seems like the research is actually more sound than the publisher. With that said, there's a tweet that came out. And take this with a massive grain of salt, okay? Because it's just someone floating theory. None of the individuals that I'm referencing in here are actually guilty of anything. This is just what? It says Courtney Love was sex trafficked by individuals with CIA connections. When Kurt moved to divorce her, they decided to have him killed. His death ensured her control over his share of Nirvana's publishing rights, worth 250 million-plus. They also killed a Seattle PD detective for looking into where Kurt got the drugs that were in his system the night he died. Pretty wild claim here. Now, once again, I don't know. I'm not. I'm. I don't know what exactly the. The pd, the. The detective they're referencing here is. This is one piece of research that I found. Perhaps this tweet is referencing this guy that was involved in a motor, like a shooting death in 1994. His name is Detective Antonio Terry that was killed. It seems like people are suggesting he was killed in relation to the copain investigation, but official records do state that his death was an unrelated on duty shooting while he was assisting a motorist. Some people suggest that this was a part of some type of bigger cover up by people that wanted this information to be, you know, closed and cut off. What actually happened here? I don't know. I don't know if anyone really knows, only maybe Kurt himself. And if there's, you know, assailants or assassins, they would know as well. It's just always, I think, worth asking the question when there's some type of strange discrepancy, something strange, something weird, it's worth asking again. I'm not accusing any person that was involved. I'm just suggesting that the levels seem pretty high. The fingerprint thing seems pretty weird. The fact that his hand is so clean seems pretty strange. And the fact that all of these needles and syringes were so neatly placed back into a little container right on the side just seems strange, the shotgun shell casing being in the wrong place. There's just a lot of weird discrepancies. And the fact that it was so quickly kind of swept away, moved on, that the PD wanted just to button this up and say, you know what? This is just a regular old fashioned tragic side. Let's just keep it going. To me, just raises red flags. What actually happened? I don't know, maybe it was. I would love to have these questions asked and have some type of, you know, actual expert analysis done to, you know, put this to bed officially. But until then, I think we should keep on asking questions. What do you guys think? If you were alive at the time or if you're a fan of Kurt Cobain's music, what did. What is death? How did it affect You. I'm curious what your thoughts on this whole thing is. And is there anything that I missed? Is there any. Any type of theory that I. I left out? Is there anything that you would like to contribute? Please drop a comment. I read all of them on YouTube and Spotify and great news.
