GARY SMITH THE MAN WHO FOUND KURTS BODY
Here is just some of what you weren’t supposed to know about the death of
#KurtCobain:
Courtney Love was facing a divorce.
Someone was using Kurt’s credit card.
Cobain was in fear of his life.
There was no “suicide” note! Courtney had another note she kept in secret.
Cobain was injected with 3 times a lethal dose of heroin!
The obvious questions:
1.
IF Cobain injected three times a lethal dose of heroin, COULD he then pick up a shotgun and shoot himself?
Wouldn’t he have been immediately incapacitated?
Based on the heroin, (morphine), blood levels found in Cobain’s body, preliminary research indicates Kurt Cobain would have been almost immediately incapacitated. He could not have picked up that shotgun. He could not have pulled that trigger
2.
If Cobain injected himself with a deliberate heroin overdose, why would he ALSO shoot himself in the head with a shotgun, leaving his baby daughter – the love of his life – with horrific visual images to remember him by? Why not just “go to sleep” on the overdose and never wake up?
In Addition… Cobain was not barricaded inside the room as reported by misinformed media sources. The stool which was supposedly wedged” against the door was actually just sitting in front of the two unlocked doors that only led out to a balcony.
Cobain did not leave his Driver’s License out for identification as reported by misinformed media sources. The first police officer on the scene found Cobain’s closed wallet, opened it to remove Kurt’s driver’s license, and displayed it in order to take a photograph. The fact is – the police and the Medical Examiner have no forensic evidence that proves Cobain’s death was a suicide. On the other hand, there’s a substantial amount of evidence for murder.
AUTOPSY TV SHOW
THE SECOND NOTE
CREDIT CARDS
There were rumors that Cobain was feeling burned out, and was planning to adopt a lower profile. He had recently pulled out of the annual Lollapalooza tour. Grant suggested that only the last four lines of the note indicated suicide. They read: “Please keep going, Courtney. For Frances, for her life which will be so much happier without me. I love you; I love you.”
Unsolved Mysteries asked handwriting expert Marcel Matley to compare a copy of Cobain’s alleged suicide note with two pages of lyrics handwritten by Cobain: “As to the last four lines, there are more than a dozen differences that should give us pause. And we would have to reasonably explain these differences before we can conclude that the same person wrote the four lines that wrote the body of it.” Handwriting expert, Reginald Alton, also compared copies of Cobain’s handwriting to a copy of the note. In a five-page written report, Alton pointed out more than a dozen discrepancies. He believed the bulk of the suicide note was written by Cobain, but raised questions about the first line and the last four lines. His report stated: “There are many indications that there may have been a second hand at work.” Sean T. O’Donnell of the Seattle Police responded: “We did take the note from the scene and have it examined at the Washington State crime lab. And their handwriting analyst has indicated that it is her belief that this note was written by Mr. Cobain.”
Tom Grant offered his take on a possible motive:
“Kurt Cobain had made an important decision in his life. He wanted out of the entertainment business. He didn’t want to tour anymore. He didn’t want to perform anymore. He wanted to be left alone. He never liked that aspect of being a performer.
This decision that he had made was going to affect a lot of other people. He was no longer the money machine that he once was. Now Cobain was worth more dead than he was alive.” But who would have wanted Kurt Cobain dead? Could it have been the mysterious user of his credit card? Did that same person add critical lines to Cobain’s alleged suicide note? Those questions remain unanswered. The Seattle Police consider the case closed. Tom Grant does not. He believes the investigation should be reopened and the inconsistencies resolved once and for all.

Police report
At 7.30 am (April 2nd,)
Cobain took a taxi into town for bullets…after a desultory breakfast and a visit to his heroin dealer, Cobain spent 6 minutes vainly trying to contact Love at the Beverly Hills Peninsula (Sandford p 325-326). A police report mentions this cab ride.
In this report is the following information supplied to the police by the superintendent of the Gray Top Cab company: The driver went to Lake Washington Blvd on April 2nd at 7.30 am. He picked up a person who he thought did not match the residence. He drove around looking for a place to find bullets but was unable to find one. This male told the driver that he had recently been burgled and needed bullets. At 8.30 am, the driver dropped the man off in the area of 145 the and Aurora because he said he was hungry and wanted to get something to eat. The man’s fare was $27. Sandford, therefore, omitted the vital fact that the driver mentioned a burglary.
Kurt told Dylan Carlson he wanted the gun for protection against prowlers
, this police report actually reinforces that on April 2nd Kurt was concerned about personal safety/security.
The police report this comes from makes it clear that Courtney herself contacted Gray Top Cabs requesting this information, so Courtney was aware of the details/time of this journey, see scan below:
How does Sandford know Kurt went to his dealers?
Which dealer?
Could it be that Sandford only got certain bits of information on this cab journey?
Could it be that “unnamed sources” gave him this incomplete information?
Maybe Kurt had a really nice breakfast, why always impose negative overtones to what Kurt was doing?
If Kurt was in the state, we are led to believe it is unlikely he would have been thinking about food at all. With regards to Kurt trying to reach Courtney at the Peninsula Hotel, according to W & H, an article appeared in Spin in 1995, in which the Peninsula denied that this call ever took place. (‘WKKC?’ p 94). Who are Sandford’s sources? Why is no identity offered to them?

: Later that afternoon (of April 2nd) he met a friend on Capitol Hill, gave her the keys to his Volvo and made a sign to her with his hand signifying a gun held to his head (Sandford p 326.)
Here we have an unnamed friend and Kurt’s mental state highlighted. The police report indicates that Kurt used the services of a cab co on the morning of April 2nd. Why did Kurt use a cab in the morning yet supposedly drive his own car in the afternoon?
When the police arrived at his house on April 8th it is specifically mentioned in their report that a Volvo registration WA lic 175 EYA is in the garage and that all 4 tyres are flat. See the police report at the end of this section. On the assumption that this is Kurt’s car and according to Sandford p 306 Kurt’s car did have that registration, then I have to ask myself why all the tyres were flat? Could it have been a tactic by would-be murderer/s to ensure Kurt’s mobility was hindered?
If the tyres were flat on April 2nd and this was Kurt’s car, that would explain why he used a cab that morning. It would also mean that the story reported in Sandford’s book could not be true. In the April 16th 1994 edition of ‘Melody Maker,’ it was reported that the police were said to have had their last contact with Kurt on April 2nd but that any report of that incident was not among files supplied. If this is correct, then the Seattle police are withholding an incident report for April 2nd. Could this be a report where Kurt contacted them complaining that his car had been vandalised (tyres were flat,) and that he believed there were prowlers/burglars? which he had told the taxi driver about that very morning. The fact that the police have not made this report available indicates, to me, that it contains evidence that Kurt filed a complaint to them in which he expressed concern over a personal safety matter. Could the since murdered Detective Terry have been involved with this report?

April 3rd, Charles Peterson saw Kurt in downtown Seattle and thought him ‘gone’. (Sandford p 326.) But is this really what Peterson thought. Here are Peterson’s own words remembering Kurt, after his death: “What sticks in my mind is actually running into him on the street about two weeks before he, before he killed himself. And it was just, you know, I guess in relation to events, I’m glad that I did. I’m glad that I saw him. We talked and he, we exchanged phone numbers and he was really happy about the book, my book of photographs that I’m doing. He was like, ‘Alright, at last, get the real thing’. And he was, we chatted and he was concerned about my wife’s illness and just really, you know…. that sticks in my mind.” (Source, ‘Nirvana, Teen Spirit, A Tribute to Kurt Cobain’ Video.) So, Kurt didn’t seem depressed and suicidal here, then. Also see Sandford p 315, where Sandford wrote: Like many of his close friends, Peterson regrets that neither Cobain nor his family told him that he had already tried to kill himself.

Nobody -at least nobody who is talking officially–saw Kurt after April 2nd, when neighbours spotted him in the adjacent park, looking forlorn as he sat on a bench. It was a warm day, but he was dressed in many layers of clothing as if to blanket himself against the bitter cold of his reality (M. Rossi, p 198.) Again, stress given to Kurt’s miserable state of mind because he was dressed inappropriately for the weather. This is Kurt we are talking about! The guy who wore a t-shirt, shirt and cardigan when he performed Unplugged under studio lights, while Dave and Krist wore t-shirts only. Also see Broomfield’s interview with Tracy Marander, where she talks about Kurt’s habit of wearing layers of clothing. To try and use his choice of clothing to show Kurt’s state of mind is ridiculous.

On April 3rd Cobain met a woman named Sara Hoehn on Broadway. He was in a foul temper about a report that 40,000 fans had lined the street that morning to buy tickets for an Eagles concert in LA ‘We might as well not have happened’, is Hoehn’s memory of his words. (Sandford p 326.) Here we finally have a named witness who testifies that Kurt was in a foul mood. But she went on to give a reason, and nowhere does it imply that his mood is due to anything other than that he was pissed off about ticket sales for an Eagle’s concert. No mention here about him looking dangerously drugged or unbalanced. Would a man purport to be in such a mentally fragile state be concerned about how many tickets were sold for an Eagles concert? Wouldn’t he have been more likely to have railed about his own problems? Note, alongside a sighting of Kurt by John Silva on this day, these are the last sightings of Kurt alive by people who knew him.

What didn’t make the media was the multitude of rumours that trickled up from the junkie world that Kurt was buying rounds from the drug dealers -putting up money for everyone present and that he was horribly depressed: that he was clearly trying to overdose;
that while dealers would sell him as much as he wanted, they didn’t want him hanging around and dying on them, leaving a star corpse to dispose of, that he said Courtney was having an affair with Billy Corgan and had told him about it in Rome, and that this confession was what had led to the overdose there. “Where are my friends when I need them?” he lamented to one dealer. (Rossi p 198). No names for these people who saw Kurt. Of course, this could be because drugs were involved and they wanted to remain anonymous. OK, I could buy that reason, except I don’t, because Dylan Carlson was not only Kurt’s best friend, but also one of his drug suppliers, and Dylan told police that he did not hear from or see Kurt after March 30th.
Further, when Grant arrived in Seattle on April 6th and met up with Dylan, Dylan took him to all of Kurt’s traditional hangouts but nobody had seen him (WKKC? p 99). Further, Grant had subcontracted Ernie Barth to keep watch on a dealers (Caitlin Moore,) house on Capitol Hill. Courtney had emphasised to Grant that Moore’s house should be checked out, so Barth had video surveillance there, but Kurt didn’t appear on the footage once. Courtney never requested to view this film, which seems odd, unless of course, Courtney knew that Kurt would not turn up there (Grant website). (Barth also had the presence of mind to set up surveillance on 171, but unfortunately, Grant informed Courtney, who then ordered the surveillance to be removed.
This emphasis on Moore by Courtney, which ultimately lead nowhere was another attempt by her to provide a false lead, to take attention off 171 Lake Washington Blvd. As a junkie himself, Dylan would be familiar with any drug connections Kurt may have had. It just isn’t possible to believe that Kurt was doing all this drug-taking and that Dylan was unaware of it. If Kurt was binging on heroin to the extent claimed, Dylan would have heard about it, of that, I have no doubt.
So, who to believe?
A whole bunch of unnamed sources, or Dylan Carlson and Grant?
I have to go with Dylan and Grant because as we will see, Mark Lanegan offers information which completely supports them It is not inconceivable that these unnamed sources were planted. They don’t make sense; they contradict what information we do have from reliable named witnesses. They appear to be a concerted attempt to provide false trails.
All of Kurt’s friends expressed shock when after Kurt died, Courtney came out and said that Rome was a suicide attempt. Without exception, Courtney had told none of them. They were angry about this, they said that had they been told they would have kept an eye on him. Dylan said that had he known, he would never have bought the gun. We must conclude from this that Kurt never told Dylan that Rome was a suicide attempt. This is because Rome never was a suicide attempt. Now we have suspicious unnamed sources talking about Rome and an affair Courtney had with Billy Corgan in an attempt to explain why Kurt was depressed and trying to overdose, both in Rome and whilst he was missing in early April.
Maybe the authors were fed false information. Maybe they were set up. In the acknowledgements of Rossi’s book, after the named people, Rossi included: “a whole bunch of “Deep Throats” who don’t want their names mentioned”. Who would have been able to manipulate the planting of these stories?
It would need to be someone who knew how to play the media game, and who had access to journalists/authors. Obviously, it needed to be someone with an understanding of the drug scene of Seattle. It needed to be someone who was around at the time, who could assess the best people for the job, be it those gullible enough to believe false information or those who would do it for payment.
Who would be the best candidate for this? Probably a junkie, someone who had access to the drug underground, someone who had something to gain from false information leaking out, someone who was involved in some way with the murder.
The only person who fits all this, that I am aware of, is Michael DeWitt. DeWitt and Courtney have acted suspiciously throughout, and both are eminently qualified to manipulate the leaking of false information.

The coroners’ report would list April 5th as Cobain’s estimated date of death, but this was refuted by friends who claimed Cobain placed calls to them on April 6th. (Rossi p 199). Again, no names for these friends.
Just who were they?
Dylan didn’t receive a call, he said: “I talked to Cali, who said he had seen Kurt on Saturday (April 2nd,) but I couldn’t get hold of him myself”.
(‘Cobain by the editors of Rolling Stone’ p 83). Charles Peterson didn’t. Mark Lanegan said he didn’t hear from Kurt in that last week: “Kurt hadn’t called me. He hadn’t called some other people. He hadn’t called his family. He hadn’t called anybody”. Lanegan went on to say that he had been looking for Kurt for about a week before he was found: “I had a feeling something really bad had happened “.
(‘Cobain by the editors of Rolling Stone’ p 83).
Most people assume Kurt died either on April 5th or the 6th. Grant believes Kurt was murdered April 3rd/early 4th. If Grant is right then that would explain why none of his friends saw him, heard from him, was able to contact him or were aware of the drug binge that he was supposedly on. What are we to make of these calls? What possible reason for their existence? Could they be an attempt to mislead people into believing Kurt died on or around April 6th? That can be the only logical conclusion. If Kurt was murdered, then whoever was responsible would gain by disseminating as much misinformation as possible, to blur the edges, to provide false leads and alibis. The last reliable witnesses to see Kurt alive were Sara Hoehn and John Silva, on April 3rd. Because no one else saw Kurt after this it is possible that Kurt died on April 3rd. Grant states that a few weeks after Kurt’s death he eventually managed to speak to DeWitt, who admitted to Grant that he did check the greenhouse on Sunday, which was April 3rd. I would like to know if this was before or after the Hoehn/Silva sightings. Because if it was after, then that would mean DeWitt admits to being in the very place Kurt died, on the very day Kurt went missing from the radar. Maybe now we see the reason for those phone calls and unnamed sources who claimed to have seen Kurt.

Mrs O’Connor insisted that though the papers suggested Kurt had shot himself on April 5th, she believed it had happened the following day. “I felt it almost the moment he had gone,” she explained, suggesting he’d called her at 5.30 pm on April 6th, even though he didn’t say anything. (‘Kurt Cobain’, published by Oliver books). This could have been someone who merely mis-dialled and hung up, or it could have been an attempt by the people who murdered Kurt to lead O’Connor into thinking that this was Kurt. This would tie in with the false information and claims that Kurt called friends on April 6th. The timing, 5.30 pm, is interesting. Grant wondered if Courtney had attempted to get Kurt’s body discovered on April 6th by requesting the electricians worked on light monitors for the greenhouse. If these workers finished work before 5.30 Courtney would know that they had made no such discovery, and proceeded to use the 6th as an extra day in which to plant false leads. The important thing to remember is that whoever it was, they did not speak.

On Saturday 23rd of May we have decided to help raise some much-needed funds for Accessible Counselling Tullamore by performing a live unplugged set. ACT is a brand-new not-for-profit counselling centre providing accessible and affordable counselling to all adults in the Midlands area. The centre was only in its 8-week open when it temporarily had to close due to the Covid 19 crisis and all of their fundraising plans were cancelled. As we all know these are strange times that we are living in and it is having a serious impact on people’s mental health and well-being. Charities like ACT will be at the front line in the aftermath of this pandemic with the counselling services they provide so it is important as a community that we support them as best we can. So, we hope you will all join us at 9pm on Saturday the 23rd and donate to this worthy cause via the link below:
