Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain, Send Cease-and-Desist to Journalists Covering Cobain’s 1994 Death

31 years ago, popular rock musician Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home on April 8, 1994. Cobain was the lead singer of “Nirvana,” a band that was enormously popular in the early 1990’s with hits like “Smells like Teen Spirit” and “Drain You,” from their 1991 album, “Nevermind.” Questions at the time about Cobain’s suicide, and various conspiracy theories about his death, have persisted ever since.

Inconsistencies related to the death and investigation include:

  • Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide the day Kurt’s body was found, with zero toxicology results, zero fingerprint results, and not one person was interrogated.
  • The coroner, whom had practically no experience, tried to hide the fact that Kurt’s shotgun blast allegedly occurred post-mortem.
  • 1.52 mg/l of heroin was found in Cobain’s system, which is approximately 5 times the lethal dose for a habitual heroin user.
  • Zero identifiable fingerprints were found on the shotgun barrel, the stock or the trigger. Zero identifiable fingerprints were found on the gun case and red pen.
  • Two witnesses see Kurt’s body deceased, in the greenhouse, on April 3rd, two days before the coroner’s estimate, and
    5 days before Kurt’s body was eventually found.
  • Zero interviews and interrogations were performed by Seattle Police, even though 9 people were confirmed to have been with Kurt at the house just hours before his death.
  • Multiple handwriting experts opined that Kurt Cobain did not write the last four lines of the ‘suicide letter’, and only those four lines say or hint at anything considered to be ‘suicidal’ in nature.
  • Separate receipts for the gun and shells appear to have been placed on his person and next to him.
  • One witness from the house was repeatedly threatened by the killers years after the event.

Some believe that there were two or three murderers, who were witnessed by at least two people who were at the home the night Cobain died and witnessed the murder in the act.

Now, Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, and Love’s daughter with Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain, are threatening journalists who continue to investigate the facts surrounding Kurt Cobain’s death. The representatives of the Cobain estate are threatening to enforce the “rights of publicity” around the famed singer, in order to shut down the production of any articles, videos, and podcasts that might challenge the mainstream view about Cobain’s death.

Kurt Cobain coroner boasted he was ‘intimate’ with rocker’s wife Courtney Love & ‘unqualified’ to carry out autopsy

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.

‘THEY GOT IT WRONG’ 

Kurt Cobain suicide case should be reopened after ‘new evidence proves he was murdered’, author says

KURT Cobain died of a massive heroin overdose and could not have shot himself, according to an award-winning documentary maker who is calling for a new murder probe into the case. 

New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin says he has evidence the Nirvana frontman had 70 times the lethal dose of heroin in his system when he was found with a gunshot wound to the head at his home in Seattle in April 1994. 

It means that it is “scientifically impossible” that Cobain, who died aged 27, could have turned the gun on himself, according to Halperin.

The 58-year-old writer says that another telltale sign that someone else was involved is that, allegedly, no prints were found on the shotgun.

Halperin claims to have spoken to Seattle law enforcement sources who believe the case was “steered away” from murder and wrongly dismissed as just another drug addict death. 

And he also points to ex-Seattle police chief Norm Stamper’s previous admission that a new investigation should be launched.

U.S. Intelligence Coverup? Newly Declassified FBI File on Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain Compounds Evidence Implicating his Wife’s Role in his Murder

The grisly death of mega rock star Kurt Cobain in 1994 (by a shotgun blast to his head) was officially ruled a suicide by the Seattle police, but evidence quickly came to light that Cobain had actually been murdered.

However, despite serious holes in the official narrative about Cobain’s death, the verdict of suicide has held firm for 27 years.

On May 7, the FBI quietly and without fanfare declassified 10 pages of never-before-seen documents relating to Cobain’s death, which alongside a mass of accumulated evidence suggest that the agency had purposely avoided looking into the radical activist musician’s death. One potential explanation for this failure could be due to the CIA’s involvement in the murder.

The latter seems plausible given the connections to the CIA of Courtney Love, Cobain’s former wife, who is the top suspect in the murder. Love happened to be a drug distributor during the same time that the CIA was heavily involved in trafficking opium and using drugs as political weapons. The latter links call for deeper scrutiny.

FBI Releases Long-Withheld File on Kurt Cobain

In the past month, Kurt Cobain and Nirvana have snuck back into the headlines. April 5th marked the 27th anniversary of Cobain’s death, an NFT of Cobain’s last photo shoot was put on the market, and Nirvana as a group were hit with a copyright-infringement lawsuit for alleged unauthorized use of a 1949 illustration on their merch. As announced this week, six strands of Cobain’s hair, cut in 1989, will be part of a rock-memorabilia auction.

And now comes Cobain’s FBI file.

Periodically, the Federal Bureau of Investigation makes public some of its archives on politicians, entertainers, and other boldface names. And quietly last month — for reasons the Bureau has not commented on — the FBI plucked out its file on Cobain and made it available for the first time, shortly after it had done the same with paperwork on late mob boss Vito Genovese.

A mere 10 pages, the file is slim but intriguing. The centerpieces are two letters, sent from names that have been redacted, urging the Bureau to investigate Cobain’s 1994 death as a murder, rather than suicide. “Millions of fans around the world would like to see the inconsistencies surrounding his death cleared up once and for all,” reads one, typed-out, from September 2003. That letter also cites director Nick Broomfield’s Kurt & Courtney doc as an example of similar skepticism.

The other letter, also from a blocked author but written by hand, dates from 2007. “The police who took up the case were never very serious in investigating it as a murder but from the beginning insisted on it being a suicide,” it reads in part. “This bothers me the most because his killer is still out there. …” The writer also cites so-called evidence (“there were no prints on the gun he supposedly shot himself with”) and claims that, in Cobain’s note, “he mentioned nothing about wanting to die except for the part of it that was in another handwriting and appeared to be added at the end.”

The FBI’s responses to the letters, sent from different officials at the Bureau but nearly identical in wording, are also contained in the file. “We appreciate your concern that Mr. Cobain may have been the victim of a homicide,” each reads. “However, most homicide investigations generally fall within the jurisdiction of state or local authorities.” The replies go on to say that “specific facts” about “a violation of federal law” would have to be presented for the Bureau to pursue, but based on these letters, “we are unable to identify any violation of federal law within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI.” With that, the Bureau said it would be passing on pursuing any investigation.

Also part of the file is a similar response to a letter sent to then–Attorney General Janet Reno in 2000, although in that case, the correspondence that triggered the response is not included.

Even stranger, the released pages also include portions of a January 1997 fax sent to the Los Angeles and D.C. offices of the FBI (as well as to several NBC executives) from Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, the Los Angeles documentary company that’s home to the long-running Unsolved Mysteries series. Those released pages include a one-paragraph summation of theories about the case involving “Tom Grant, a Los Angeles-based private investigator and former L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy,” and his suspicions that the suicide ruling was “a rush to judgment.” The fact sheet claims that Grant “has found a number of inconsistencies, including questions about the alleged suicide note,” which Grant believed was “a retirement letter to Cobain’s fans.”
