THE coroner who carried out Kurt Cobain’s autopsy boasted he’d been intimate with the Nirvana star’s wife Courtney Love, it has been sensationally claimed.
Bestselling author Ian Halperin says medical examiner Dr. Nikolas Hartshorne admitted to him that he had a “conflict of interest” when determining that Cobain killed himself at his home in Seattle.
Halperin claims Dr. Hartshorne – who died in a BASE jumping accident in Switzerland in 2002 – was a Nirvana and Courtney Love super fan who lacked the necessary expertise in toxicology.
He exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the medical examiner confessed during an interview with him in 1996 that he should have been recused from the autopsy.
The bombshell allegations come after a purported copy of Cobain’s autopsy report – which has never before been made public due to Washington state privacy laws – was leaked online last week.
The alleged report confirms that Cobain died by suicide after turning a shotgun on himself.
Hellbound and Down 
TBH, where I live, the coroner doesnt do an actual autopsy. The full shebang is done my either the state ME or one of the university/med school specialists. Our coroner shows up when someone is shown to have lost their life, then does paperwork, with some magic flair of law.
