Thoughts on the death of Kurt Cobain

One thing the "Soaked in Bleach" documentary points out is how much of Kurt Cobain's supposed "suicide note" was likely faked. It started out being a rough draft about how he wanted to leave the music industry and then turned into something completely different and obviously cliched and fake at the end to suggest a suicide. This part was done in completely different handwriting to the earlier parts.

Some months before Kurt's death he stated in a filmed interview that his stomach pain issue that had plagued him for years had been fixed over a year ago by doctors finally discovering the right medication to alleviate it. So no motivation for self-harm there, contrary to the fake part of the "suicide note".

Sure, Kurt was addicted to heroin, but he had the money to buy good quality stuff and no big issues sourcing it, I would imagine. The main problem junkies face is getting hold of and affording their fix. Junkies can live long, healthy, productive lives (think of William Burroughs and Keith Richards) if they can access what they need in good quality. It's the withdrawals, the expense and poor and unreliable drug quality that can wreck and even kill a person and drive them to behave immorally and recklessly.

Many of the stories put in the media after his death came from one source proven to be completely unreliable, as the "Soaked in Bleach" documentary clearly shows. And a previous documentary "Kurt and Courtney" provides a first hand account of someone who was offered $50,000 to carry out a hit on Kurt not long before his death. The actual killer and their accomplices are not known with 100% certainty but there is deep suspicion about one particular man being the one to carry out the evil deed and evidence points to certain others being accomplices and helping cover it up.

Both "Kurt and Courtney" and "Soaked in Bleach" should be watched in succession if you want to know what most likely went down.

At the end of the day it appears Kurt's death was mainly to do with money and who benefited financially from his death. This includes business interests who relied on Kurt's continuing success for their income and also someone close to him whose place in his life and claim to his fortune was about to be severed had he survived.

If someone as successful as Kurt is planning to retire from the music business then that impacts on a number of people's future earnings. Sadly, it seems a dead rock star is worth more than one who is alive, if he no longer wants to play ball with the money men who feed off his creativity.

So a horrific and evil act was probably done for the most banal of reasons and possibility also out of anger, jealousy and an attempt to steal his light and fame.

And what makes it all the worse is the death was set up to look like Kurt took his own life, which led to copycat suicides and gives a false impression of who Kurt really was. Most certainly this was done to avoid any investigation into his death which would have led to the true perpetrators of this grisly and most evil of acts, who were those people who benefited most from his untimely death.
