A little known fact about the shotgun used to kill Kurt Cobain is that it was loaded with a birdshot cartridge. These project tiny pellets designed to kill birds but not larger animals. This is what Kurt had his friend Dylan buy in the days preceding his death. He claimed it was to scare off intruders. This makes sense if you are a celebrity without any security guards.
Before Kurt was shot he was injected with a massive dose of heroin, enough reportedly to kill a heavy user 3 times over. This would have totally incapacitated him and yet we are made to believe he injected this huge dose and then carefully put away his drug kit, reached for his shotgun and ended his life. Expert investigators say this would be impossible and such actions are unheard of in the field of suicide.
There are a number of other recorded facts that belie what was written in Kurt's "suicide note", the first part of which explains his decision to quit the music industry and the second part, widely believed to be forged, turns the note into a suicide note. This second part expressed his love for his wife, which is strange given he rang his lawyer in the days preceding his death saying he wanted a divorce and that he wanted to make a new will without his wife in it. This lawyer was recorded on tape making this statement so it casts even more doubt on the validity of his "suicide note" and the probability it actually was a suicide rather than a murder.
As to who committed the murder, if that's what it was, and why, remains a mystery. But the sad fact is a dead rock star is worth more money than one alive who wants to quit the industry (and get a divorce). And money is one of the oldest reasons for murder.
