Nirvana changed the music industry forever back in 1991. From Nirvana, came two of the most well-known names of the grunge-era, Kurt Cobain and David Grohl. Wait a minute, wasn’t there three people in Nirvana? Oh yes, the bass player, Krist. Most Nirvana fans agree that Krist was by far the loudest of the three, but also, the least known. I’m sure some of you will say that it’s his fault because he waited so long before he became involved in music again. Well, you’re wrong, Dave’s new band,The Foo Fighters played a gig on March 3, 1995 which would be their first, but, what most of you don’t know is that Krist’s new band, Sweet 75 played a gig only 2 weeks after The Foo Fighter’s first,on March 17, 1995. The sad thing is that The Foo Fighters released a single and an album almost immediately, while Krist took a deeper dive into politics, and Sweet 75 didn’t release their first album till late 1997. What does all this have to do with Krist in Nirvana? Actually, nothing… I was just blabbering I guess. While in Nirvana, Krist took up the more important role of being the spokes-person for the band. While Kurt and Dave were clearly the more well-known of the 3, Krist took every chance he got to step into the spotlight. Remember the MTV Awards? Krist was always there to stick up for Kurt, as demonstrated in the infamous bouncer fight at The Trees Club in Dallas. Krist would also help Kurt with just about anything. I forget who said this, but during the recordings of Nevermind and In Utero, if Kurt didn’t know how to work something, Krist would jump right in, lend a helping hand, and say “here, this is how you do it.” Krist was also, by far, the funniest of the three. Everybody loves to hear Krist say something stupid during a concert. Dave was quoted as saying that Krist has brain spasms, which in turn, impairs Krist’s ability to make sense…ha. Nirvana concerts were great, you get to go see an awesome band play, and listen to some huge guy make an ass of himself. I myself went to a concert, and one of the things I can remember is one-word Krist said, “Boo!” Many people complain that Krist is going into hiding, and that he doesn’t want anything to do with Nirvana. Hmm, well that’s because he’s got better things to do then answer some of those stupid Nirvana questions. Krist is trying now though, his Murky Slough Home Page now have a Nirvana page on it. The page isn’t much, but atleast it shows that he still cares for the band. I know all of you came to Krist in Nirvana to see all these cool pictures of him playing, go look in the pictures section, and you all hoped that you would learn some cool unknown information…forget it

Chris was into bands like Led Zeppelin, Devo, Black Sabbath, and Aerosmith while his peers were into Top Forty, perhaps because that was all the local radio station played. By June of l980, Chris’s parents got so worried about his depression that they sent him to live with relatives in Croatia, Chris. had picked up Croatian “around the house,” and is still fluent in it. He loved living, there–he made lots of friends and the schools were, excellent. He even heard something there called “punk rock,” and discovered the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and even some Yugoslavian punk bands. It didn’t make too much of a dent, however. “It was just music to me.” Chris recalls. “It didn’t really mean anything” to me–it was just music that I liked.” After a year, his parents called him back home. “I was just in a weird limbo.” Chris says. He began drinking and smoking pot heavily. “I’ve always been a big drinker.” says Chris, “When I drink, I just don’t stop. I like to drink because you’re in some weird cartoon land where anything goes. Your vision is blurry and nothing and everything makes sense. It’s crazy. It’s a different reality and a different world of consciousness.” Chris became well known on the party circuit. “You’d go to parties and people would be like ‘Hey, Novie!’” says Matt Lukin. “They always knew him as the big, wacky guy because he, was always doing weird things. They just thought he was kind of weird. He’d go to parties and jump around.” He had some people to hang out with, but he was hard pressed to call them friends. “I hung out with them because I had no where else to go,” says Chris. “It was kind of odd and and uncomfortable.”

He finally got a job at the local Taco Bell and threw himself into work, working every night and not socializing, just saving money. By senior year of high school, he had bought a car, some stereo speakers, and a guitar. He look some lessons along with his brother Robert and told his teacher, Warren Mason–the same guy who taught Kurt that he really wanted to play the blues. He quit after a few months and then woodshedded intensively in his bedroom, patiently working out the licks to old B.B. King records with bis brother. Around this time Chris’s brother Robert brought his friend Kurt Cobain over to the Novoselic house. When Kurt asked about the racket emanating from the upstairs stereo, Robert replied, “Oh, thats my brother Chris, he listens to punk rock.” Kurt thought that was very cool and filed the information away. Chris graduated from high school in 1983. Soon after, his parents got divorced. It was a rough enough time as it was, but he also had some plastic surgery done on his face–doctor’s cut a small section of bone out of Chris’s jaw and moved some teeth forward to correct a severe underbite (“I looked like ‘Jay Leno,” he says). Chris’s jaw was wired shut for six weeks. He still went out to parties, except he had to carry a pair of wire cutters with him in case he threw up or something got caught in his throat. “He’d go out and get all fucked up.” Lukin recalls. “and he’d be puking and it would be draining through his wires. He said he never did have to cut them, but all the food was like milkshakes anyway, no solid food. Still, it was somewhat reckless of him.” “Then the swelling, went down.” says Chris, “and I had a new face.” One day during his senior year in high school, he had been walking behind two junior girls in the hall hall who were raving about the album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. “Yeah, they’re really great!” he piped up.Shelli remembered him as a “class clown-type guy, always joking.” They talked a little and made friends. Shelli dropped out her senior year and took a job at McDonald’s and got her own apartment on Market Street, across from the fire department. On her way to work, she would walk past the Foster Painting company where Chris worked and she would talk to him. She got his phone number and started calling him up. They had a lot in common–Shelli had been an odd-ball in school, too–and by March 1985, they had started hanging out as friends at Shelli’s apartment, listening to punk rock records and going to shows. Soon they started going out.

The matter of when Kurt and Krist finally met and started Nirvana has been debated for quite some time now. I will tell you right away that I do not have a definite answer. What we do know is that Kurt and Krist were playing together sometime during 1985. We also know that it took some time after Kurt gave Krist a demo tape before they finally got together. This demo tape is known as the Fecal Matter Demo. In the book Come As You Are it says that Kurt gave Krist the Fecal Matter Demo, but it took almost a year before Krist actually listened to it. If they did get together in 1985 which is most likely true, that would mean the Kurt made the Fecal Matter Demo in 1984. Most Nirvana fans claim that it was made in 1985, which could not work if they in fact played in 1985. My theory is that they met sometime in 1983, at the time Krist was a senior in high school. Kurt’s aunt Mari clearly states that Kurt made a demo at her house in 1982 which she calls “Organized Confusion.” I would rather believe Kurt’s aunt then a Nirvana fan as to when a demo was produced. In picture in People magazine, Kurt is actually playing a bass guitar. Mari says that the photo was taken in 1982. So whoever says that someone else must’ve played bass because Kurt didn’t know how to is wrong. Kurt did know how to play bass. As a matter of fact, he played guitar, drums, and bass. So that means with the proper equipment, which Mari had at her house, he could’ve easily mixed all 3 instruments together to come up with a demo. Kurt and Krist both hung out with Buzz Osborne during this time, so they could’ve easily met. The only person who would know the answer to this question of when they met would be Krist. And unfortunately that’s not at the top of the list of his things-to-do now.
Nirvana changed the music industry forever back in 1991. From Nirvana, came two of the most well-known names of the grunge-era, Kurt Cobain and David Grohl. Wait a minute, wasn’t there three people in Nirvana? Oh yes, the bass player, Krist. Most Nirvana fans agree that Krist was by far the loudest of the three, but also, the least known. I’m sure some of you will say that it’s his fault because he waited so long before he became involved in music again. Well, you’re wrong, Dave’s new band,The Foo Fighters played a gig on March 3, 1995 which would be their first, but, what most of you don’t know is that Krist’s new band, Sweet 75 played a gig only 2 weeks after The Foo Fighter’s first,on March 17, 1995. The sad thing is that The Foo Fighters released a single and an album almost immediately, while Krist took a deeper dive into politics, and Sweet 75 didn’t release their first album till late 1997. What does all this have to do with Krist in Nirvana? Actually, nothing… I was just blabbering I guess. While in Nirvana, Krist took up the more important role of being the spokes-person for the band. While Kurt and Dave were clearly the more well-known of the 3, Krist took every chance he got to step into the spotlight. Remember the MTV Awards? Krist was always there to stick up for Kurt, as demonstrated in the infamous bouncer fight at The Trees Club in Dallas. Krist would also help Kurt with just about anything. I forget who said this, but during the recordings of Nevermind and In Utero, if Kurt didn’t know how to work something, Krist would jump right in, lend a helping hand, and say “here, this is how you do it.” Krist was also, by far, the funniest of the three. Everybody loves to hear Krist say something stupid during a concert. Dave was quoted as saying that Krist has brain spasms, which in turn, impairs Krist’s ability to make sense…ha. Nirvana concerts were great, you get to go see an awesome band play, and listen to some huge guy make an ass of himself. I myself went to a concert, and one of the things I can remember is one-word Krist said, “Boo!” Many people complain that Krist is going into hiding, and that he doesn’t want anything to do with Nirvana. Hmm, well that’s because he’s got better things to do then answer some of those stupid Nirvana questions. Krist is trying now though, his Murky Slough Home Page now have a Nirvana page on it. The page isn’t much, but atleast it shows that he still cares for the band. I know all of you came to Krist in Nirvana to see all these cool pictures of him playing, go look in the pictures section, and you all hoped that you would learn some cool unknown information…forget it

Dave, much like Kurt and Chris, took to music at a very young age. He spent a few years taking guitar lessons, but lost interest in them and decided to play with local bands doing cover songs instead of formally learning. Seeing a performance by the new-wave 80s group The B52’s, he got drawn towards the genre and away from the classic rock style he was commonly covering in the bands he played with.
Dave
Taking to punk rock in the summer of 1982 following his cousin’s lead, Dave found himself enjoying music more than before. The entire lifestyle that was punk, and the high energy music was an instant attraction and luckily for all of us, it kept its hold on him.
With the band he played in, Freaky Baby, going through the removal of their drummer and a subsequent shift of the lineup, Dave ended up behind the drum set and they began to play fast hardcore punk. The name of the band eventually even became simply, Fast. After they disbanded in 1986 Dave went on to play in another band called Dain Bramage, which he was still in when he auditioned to be the new drummer for a favorite band of his, Scream. After a few months of playing with his band after that audition, Dave landed behind the drum set of Scream.

Touring with Scream around the US landed Dave in many situations, including playing shows with the Melvins, and even crossing paths with Kurt and Chris a few times. After the abrupt parting of Scream’s bass player from the tour, Dave found himself stranded in L.A. and called Buzz Osborne, who put him in touch with the pair in seattle after they remarked about liking the drummer at the Scream show. A few days and a flight later, Dave was picked up in Seattle by the two.

Moving in with Chris and Shelli, Dave spent time seeing shows in the Seattle and Tacoma areas, and eventually replaced the then current drummer of the band, Dan Peters.
Today, Dave is playing for Foo Fighters.
Born to James and Virginia Grohl, along with 3-year older sister Lisa, Dave was brought up in a divorced home. While living in Springfield VA, his parents separated and he was raised from then on by his mother, a high school English teacher.

Kurt Cobain
KURT COBAIN EARLY LIFE
![](https://wwwcobainfiles.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/img_09001.jpg?w=300)
(1967-1994)
Kurt Donald Cobain was born at Grays Harbor Hospital in Aberdeen, Washington, on February 20, 1967
The son of waitress Wendy Elizabeth born 1948 and car mechanic Donald Leland Cobain (born 1946)] His parents married in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on July 31, 1965.
Cobain had Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, and Scottish ancestry.[ The Cobain surname comes from his Irish ancestors, who emigrated from the Northern Irish town of Carrickmore in 1875. Researchers found that they were shoemakers, originally surnamed Cobane, and came from the Inishatieve area of Carrickmore. They first settled in Canada, where they lived in Cornwall, Ontario, before moving to Washington. Cobain mistakenly believed that his Irish ancestors came from County Cork. His younger sister, Kimberly, was born on April 24, 1970.
Cobain’s family had a musical background. His maternal uncle, Chuck Fradenburg, played in a band called the Beachcombers; his aunt, Mari Earle, played guitar and performed in bands throughout Grays Harbor County; and his great-uncle, Delbert, had a career as an Irish tenor, making an appearance in the 1930 film King of Jazz. Kurt was described as a happy and excitable child, who also exhibited sensitivity and care. His talent as an artist was evident from an early age, as he would draw his favorite characters from films and cartoons, such as the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Donald Duck, in his bedroom. He was encouraged by his grandmother, Iris Cobain, a professional artist. Cobain developed an interest in music at a young age. According to his aunt Mari, he began singing at the age of two. At age four, he started playing the piano and singing, writing a song about a trip to a park. He listened to artists including Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)] and, from a young age, would sing songs including Arlo Guthrie‘s “Motorcycle Song”, the Beatles‘ “Hey Jude“, Terry Jacks‘ “Seasons in the Sun“, and the theme song to the Monkees television show.
When Cobain was nine years old, his parents divorced.[12]: 20 He later said the divorce had a profound effect on his life, and his mother noted that his personality changed dramatically; Cobain became defiant and withdrawn. In a 1993 interview, he said he felt “ashamed” of his parents as a child and had desperately wanted to have a “typical family … I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.] His parents found new partners after the divorce. Although his father had promised not to remarry, he married Jenny Westeby, to Kurt’s dismay.[12]: 24 Cobain, his father, Westeby, and her two children, Mindy and James, moved into a new household. Cobain liked Westeby at first, as she gave him the maternal attention he desired. In January 1979, Westeby gave birth to a boy, Chad Cobain. This new family, which Cobain insisted was not his real one, was in stark contrast to the attention Cobain was used to receiving as an only boy, and he became resentful of his stepmother. Cobain’s mother dated a man who was abusive; Cobain witnessed the domestic violence inflicted upon her, with one incident resulting in her being hospitalized with a broken arm.[12]: 25, 26 Wendy refused to press charges, remaining committed to the relationship.[12]: 26
Cobain behaved insolently toward adults during this period and began bullying another boy at school. His father and Westeby took him to a therapist who concluded that he would benefit from a single-family environment.[12]: 26 Both sides of the family unsuccessfully attempted to reunite his parents. On June 28, 1979, Cobain’s mother granted full custody to his father.[12]: 27 Cobain’s teenage rebellion quickly became overwhelming for his father who placed him in the care of family and friends. While living with the born-again Christian family of his friend Jesse Reed, Cobain became a devout Christian and regularly attended church services. He later renounced Christianity, engaging in what was described as “anti-God” rants. The song “Lithium” is about his experience while living with the Reed family. Religion remained an important part of his personal life and beliefs.[10]: 22 [12]: 196 [12]: 69 Although uninterested in sports, Cobain was enrolled in a junior high school wrestling team at the insistence of his father. He was a skilled wrestler but despised the experience. Because of the ridicule he endured from his teammates and coach, he allowed himself to be pinned in an attempt to sadden his father. Later, his father enlisted him in a Little League Baseball team, where Cobain would intentionally strike out to avoid playing.[10]: 20–25 Cobain befriended a gay student at school and was bullied by peers who concluded that he was gay. In an interview, he said that he liked being associated with a gay identity because he did not like people, and when they thought he was gay they left him alone. He said, “I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.” His friend tried to kiss him, and Cobain backed away, explaining to his friend that he was not gay, but remained friends with him. According to Cobain, he used to spray paint “God Is Gay” on pickup trucks in the Aberdeen area. Police records show that Cobain was arrested for spray painting the phrase “ain’t got no how watchamacallit” on vehicles.[12]: 68
Cobain often drew during classes. When given a caricature assignment for an art course, Cobain drew Michael Jackson but was told by the teacher that the image was inappropriate for a school hallway. He then drew an image of then-President Ronald Reagan that was seen as “unflattering”.[12]: 41 Through art and electronics classes, Cobain met Roger “Buzz” Osborne, singer and guitarist of the Melvins, who became his friend and introduced him to punk rock and hardcore music.[18]: 35, 36 [19] As attested to by several of Cobain’s classmates and family members, the first concert he attended was Sammy Hagar and Quarterflash, held at the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1983.[8][12]: 44 Cobain, however, claimed that the first live show he attended was the Melvins, when they played a free concert outside the Thriftway supermarket where Osborne worked. Cobain wrote in his journals of this experience, as well as in interviews, singling out the impact it had on him.[12]: 45 [20] As a teenager living in Montesano, Washington, Cobain eventually found escape through the thriving Pacific Northwest punk scene, going to punk rock shows in Seattle.[10]
During his second year in high school, Cobain began living with his mother in Aberdeen. Two weeks prior to graduation, he dropped out of Aberdeen High School upon realizing that he did not have enough credits to graduate. His mother gave him an ultimatum: find employment or leave. After one week, Cobain found his clothes and other belongings packed away in boxes.[10]: 35 Feeling banished, Cobain stayed with friends, occasionally sneaking back into his mother’s basement.[10]: 37 Cobain also claimed that, during periods of homelessness, he lived under a bridge over the Wishkah River,[10]: 37 an experience that inspired the song “Something in the Way“. His future bandmate Krist Novoselic later said, “He hung out there, but you couldn’t live on those muddy banks, with the tides coming up and down. That was his own revisionism.”[21] In late 1986, Cobain moved into an apartment, paying his rent by working at the Polynesian Resort, a themed resort on the Pacific coast at Ocean Shores, Washington approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of Aberdeen.[10]: 43 During this period, he traveled frequently to Olympia, Washington, to go to rock concerts.[10]: 46 During his visits to Olympia, Cobain formed a relationship with Tracy Marander. Their relationship was close but strained by financial problems and Cobain’s absence when touring. Marander supported the couple by working at the cafeteria of the Boeing plant in Auburn, Washington, often stealing food. Cobain spent most of his time sleeping into the late evening, watching television, and concentrating on art projects.
Marander’s insistence that he get a job caused arguments that influenced Cobain to write the song “About a Girl“, which appeared on the Nirvana album Bleach. Marander is credited with having taken the cover photo for the album, as well as the front and back cover photos of their Blew single. She did not become aware that Cobain wrote “About a Girl” about her until years after his death.[12]: 88–93 [12]: 116–117 [12]: 122 [12]: 134–136 [12]: 143 [12]: 153 Soon after his separation from Marander, Cobain began dating Tobi Vail, an influential punk zinester of the riot grrrl band Bikini Kill who embraced the DIY ethos. After meeting Vail, Cobain vomited, overwhelmed with anxiety caused by his infatuation with her. This event inspired the lyric “love you so much it makes me sick” in the song “Aneurysm“.[12]: 152 While Cobain regarded Vail as his female counterpart, his relationship with her waned; he desired the maternal comfort of a traditional relationship, which Vail regarded as sexist within a countercultural punk rock community. Vail’s lovers were described by her friend Alice Wheeler as “fashion accessories”.[12]: 153 Cobain wrote many of his songs about Vail.[12]
On his 14th birthday on February 20, 1981, Cobain’s uncle offered him either a bike or a used guitar; Kurt chose the guitar. Soon, he was trying to play Led Zeppelin‘s song “Stairway to Heaven“. He also learned how to play “Louie Louie“, Queen‘s “Another One Bites the Dust“, and the Cars‘ “My Best Friend’s Girl“, before he began working on his own songs. Cobain played left-handed, despite being forced to write right-handed.[10]: 22
In early 1985, Cobain formed Fecal Matter after he had dropped out of Aberdeen High School.[18] One of “several joke bands” that arose from the circle of friends associated with the Melvins,[18] it initially featured Cobain singing and playing guitar, Melvins drummer Dale Crover playing bass, and Greg Hokanson playing drums.[22] They spent several months rehearsing original material and covers, including songs by the Ramones, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix.[18][23]
Nirvana
During high school, Cobain rarely found anyone with whom he could play music. While hanging out at the Melvins’ practice space, he met Krist Novoselic, a fellow devotee of punk rock. Novoselic’s mother owned a hair salon, and the pair occasionally practiced in the upstairs room of the salon. A few years later, Cobain tried to convince Novoselic to form a band with him by lending him a copy of a home demo recorded by Fecal Matter.[10] After months of asking, Novoselic agreed to join Cobain, forming the beginnings of Nirvana.[10]: 45 Religion appeared to remain a significant muse to Cobain during this time as he often used Christian imagery in his work and developed an interest in Jainism and Buddhist philosophy.
Cobain became disenchanted after early touring because of the band’s inability to draw substantial crowds and the difficulty in supporting themselves financially. During their first few years playing together, Novoselic and Cobain were hosts to a succession of drummers. Eventually, the band settled on Chad Channing with whom Nirvana recorded the album Bleach, released on Sub Pop Records in 1989. Cobain, however, became dissatisfied with Channing’s style and subsequently fired him. He and Novoselic eventually hired Dave Grohl to replace Channing. Grohl helped the band record their 1991 major-label debut, Nevermind. With Nevermind‘s lead single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Nirvana quickly entered the mainstream, popularizing a subgenre of alternative rock called “grunge“. Since their debut, Nirvana has sold over 28 million albums in the United States alone and over 75 million worldwide.[24][25] The success of Nevermind provided numerous Seattle bands, such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, access to wider audiences. As a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television in the U.S. during the first half of the 1990s. Nirvana was considered the “flagship band of Generation X“, and Cobain found himself reluctantly anointed by the media as the generation’s “spokesman”.[26] He resented this characterization since he believed his artistic message had been misinterpreted by the public.[27]
When you’re in the public eye, you have no choice but to be raped over and over again – they’ll take every ounce of blood out of you until you’re exhausted. … I’m looking forward to the future. It will only be another year and then everyone will forget about it.
—Kurt Cobain on the overwhelming media attention after Nevermind, 1992[28]
Cobain struggled to reconcile the massive success of Nirvana with his underground roots and vision. He also felt persecuted by the media, comparing himself to Frances Farmer whom he named a song after.[29] He began to harbor resentment against people who claimed to be fans of the band yet refused to acknowledge, or misinterpreted, the band’s social and political views. A vocal opponent of sexism, racism, sexual assault, and homophobia, he was publicly proud that Nirvana had played at a gay rights benefit concert that was held to oppose Oregon’s 1992 Ballot Measure 9, which would have directed Oregon schools to teach that homosexuality was “abnormal, wrong, unnatural and perverse”.[30][31] Cobain was a vocal supporter of the pro-choice movement, and Nirvana was involved in L7‘s Rock for Choice campaign.[32] He received death threats from a small number of anti-abortion activists for participating in the pro-choice campaign, with one activist threatening to shoot Cobain as soon as he stepped on a stage.[12]: 253

Following a tour stop at Terminal Eins in Munich, Germany, on March 1, 1994, Cobain was diagnosed with bronchitis and severe laryngitis. He flew to Rome the next day for medical treatment, and was joined there by his wife, Courtney Love, on March 3. The next morning, Love awoke to find that Cobain had overdosed on a combination of champagne and Rohypnol. Cobain was rushed to the hospital and was unconscious for the rest of the day. After five days, Cobain was released and returned to Seattle.[9] Love later said that the incident was Cobain’s first suicide attempt.[84]
On March 18, 1994, Love phoned the Seattle police informing them that Cobain was suicidal and had locked himself in a room with a gun. Police arrived and confiscated several guns and a bottle of pills from Cobain, who insisted that he was not suicidal and had locked himself in the room to hide from Love.[85]
Love arranged an intervention regarding Cobain’s drug use on March 25, 1994. The ten people involved included musician friends, record company executives, and one of Cobain’s closest friends, Dylan Carlson. Cobain reacted with anger, insulting and heaping scorn on the participants, and locked himself in the upstairs bedroom. However, by the end of the day, Cobain agreed to undergo a detox program, and he entered a residential facility in Los Angeles for a few days on March 30, 1994.[86][87]
The following night, Cobain left the facility and flew to Seattle. On the flight, he sat near Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses. Despite Cobain’s animosity towards Guns N’ Roses, Cobain “seemed happy” to see McKagan. McKagan later said that he knew from “all of my instincts that something was wrong”.[12]: 331 Most of Cobain’s friends and family were unaware of his whereabouts. On April 7, amid rumors of Nirvana breaking up, the band pulled out of the 1994 Lollapalooza festival.[88]
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/KurtCobainHouse.jpg/220px-KurtCobainHouse.jpg)
On April 8,[89] Cobain’s body was discovered at his Lake Washington Boulevard home by an electrician,[90] who had arrived to install a security system. A suicide note was found, addressed to Cobain’s childhood imaginary friend Boddah, that stated that Cobain had not “felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing … for too many years now”. Cobain’s body had been there for days; the coroner’s report estimated he died on April 5, 1994, at the age of 27.[91]

– FRANCES BEAN ON KURT COBAIN EXHIBITION CURATED BY HIS MOTHER AND SISTER
KURT COBAIN’S MOTHER WENDY O’CONNOR IS RECOUNTING A STORY ABOUT HER SON TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT HE WAS LIKE AS A CHILD;
‘WHO COURTNEY KNEW WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PERSON TO WHO THEY INTIMATELY KNEW’
‘THE SWEETEST, FUNNIEST LITTLE DEVIL’. “HE’D COME IN THE KITCHEN AND SAY, ‘HEY MOM!’ AND HE GOT ME EVERY TIME WITH THIS – HE’D TAKE THREAD AND THREAD IT THROUGH HIS FINGERS AND PULL THE STRING AND MAKE HIS HAND GO BACK AND FORTH, AND I’D TURN AROUND AND GO, ‘AAARGH!’ AND IT WOULD MAKE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. HE JUST LOVED DOING IT!” SHE LAUGHS. KURT’S YOUNGER SISTER KIM REMEMBERS ALL THE KIDS DOING IT, “WE’D TAKE THE ROUGH SKIN, JUST THE FIRST LAYER. I DON’T KNOW WHAT OUR DEAL WAS IN THE SEVENTIES, STRINGING OUR FINGERS TOGETHER,” SHE LAUGHS. WENDY, KIM, AND KURT AND FRANCES BEAN COBAIN, KURT’S DAUGHTER WITH COURTNEY LOVE, ARE IN CONVERSATION WITH RTE BROADCASTER DAVE FANNING AT THE MUSEUM OF STYLE ICONS IN NEWBRIDGE TO LAUNCH GROWING UP KURT COBAIN, AN EXHIBITION OF HIS PERSONAL BELONGINGS INCLUDING HAND-WRITTEN LYRICS, HIS 1965 DODGE DART, CLOTHES, AWARDS, BUT MOSTLY ITEMS FROM HIS CHILDHOOD – PHOTOS, SKETCHES, NOTES AND STORIES, TOYS, AND SOME HOME VIDEO. BRETT MORGAN’S 2015 DOCUMENTARY KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK TOUCHED ON HIS CHILDHOOD AND HIS BURGEONING CREATIVE GENIUS AND THE EXHIBITION BUILDS ON THAT, PAINTING A PICTURE OF HIM AS A FUN-LOVING, TALENTED KID. THE ITEMS HAVE BEEN LOVINGLY SELECTED BY KIM AND WENDY IN THE HOPE OF PROVIDING SOME BALANCE IN THE NARRATIVE OF HIS LIFE, WHICH, HAVING ENDED ABRUPTLY WITH HIS TRAGIC SUICIDE ON APRIL 5, 1994, AT THE HEIGHT OF NIRVANA’S SUCCESS, HAS BEEN VIEWED THROUGH THAT DARK PRISM IN THE INTERVENING YEARS. “THIS WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, TO GO AND SEE OUR CHILDHOOD THAT WE HAD TOGETHER,” SAYS KIM. ALTHOUGH FRANCES (25) HAD NO PART IN CURATING THE ITEMS FOR THE EXHIBITION, SHE WANTED TO SUPPORT HER GRANDMOTHER AND HER AUNT ON THEIR TRIP TO IRELAND, AS SHE SAYS SHE FOUND IT A “HEALING PLACE” TO VISIT AS A CHILD. “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY’VE EVER REALLY EXTENDED THEMSELVES IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY CURATED IT AND CREATIVELY INFORMED THEIR IDEA OF KURT AND WHO THEY KNEW HIM TO BE AND THAT TO ME IS THE PUREST FORM OF HIM, BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE’VE HEARD OR SEEN IS A SATURATED VERSION BECAUSE IT’S A PART OF MYTHOLOGY,” SHE SAYS. “WE LOVE TO THINK OF HIM AS THIS MYSTERIOUS, DARK POET LAUREATE AND HE WAS BUT HE WAS ALSO QUITE FUNNY AND WARM AND A BROTHER AND SON AND I THINK THIS IS MORE REFLECTIVE OF THAT. AND I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO THE NARRATIVE TO RECOGNISE THAT THOSE WERE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF HIS PERSONALITY AS THE DARKER SERIOUS POET LAUREATE WE KNOW HIM TO BE.” HAVING THE EXHIBITION OPEN IN IRELAND (IT’S AT THE MUSEUM OF STYLE ICONS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30 BEFORE HEADING TO SANTIAGO, CHILE) WAS IMPORTANT TO THE FAMILY. “I THINK THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US THREE TO COME TO IRELAND. THIS IS WHERE OUR ROOTS ARE. IT’S A VERY HEALING PLACE,” SHE SAYS. “I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE AND IT WAS SUPER HEALING FOR ME AS A CHILD AND I WANTED TO COME AND BE A PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THEM. I DON’T KNOW IF WE COULD RECREATE THE ENERGY OF THIS SPECIFIC TRIP AGAIN. THE REASON THAT THIS IS SO HEALING IS BECAUSE IT’S IN IRELAND. THAT’S A HUGE COMPONENT OF IT I BELIEVE.” KURT BELIEVED HIS ANCESTORS HAD COME TO THE UNITED STATES FROM CORK, BUT IN RECENT YEARS COURTNEY TRACED THE FAMILY’S IRISH ROOTS TO TYRONE AND A MAN CALLED SAMUEL COBAIN WHO EMIGRATED ON A ‘GRAVEYARD SHIP’ WITH HIS WIFE LETITIA AND BROTHER KEVIN IN THE LATE 1800S. AS FRANCES READS A TEXT MESSAGE FROM COURTNEY WITH THIS INFORMATION SHE LAUGHS,

IT’S CLEAR THAT HER GRANDMOTHER WENDY HAS BEEN A HUGELY POSITIVE AND STABLE INFLUENCE IN FRANCES’ LIFE. WENDY BECOMES EMOTIONAL WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT HOW FRANCES NEVER KNEW HER FATHER AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS FOR HER TO LET HER KNOW WHO HE WAS. AS A CHILD FRANCES WOULD VISIT THE FARM IN OLYMPIA WHERE WENDY LIVED AND “HEALED” FOLLOWING KURT’S DEATH, WORKING IN THE GARDEN. “NOTHING WAS CONSISTENT IN MY DAY TO DAY LIFE AT ALL BUT WHEN I WOULD GO TO THE FARM IN OLYMPIA IT WAS LIKE THE MOST GROUNDING EXPERIENCE,” SAYS FRANCES, WHO REVEALS THAT WHEN PEOPLE NOW COMMENT ON HOW WELL ADJUSTED SHE IS SHE PUTS IT DOWN TO THE STABILITY WENDY AND KIM PROVIDED FOR HER THROUGHOUT HER CHILDHOOD. “THE REASON I GOT TO THE POINT OF BEING WELL-ADJUSTED IS BECAUSE I HAD ROOTS IN SOMETHING NORMAL AND HEALTHY,” SHE SAYS. “IT’S GIVEN ME A SENSE OF WHAT I WANT MY DAY TO DAY LIFE TO LOOK LIKE OUTSIDE ALL THE HUBBUB AND BS, HOW I WANT MY DAY TO DAY LIFE TO LOOK LIKE WITH NORMALCY WITH CONSISTENCY AND LOVE. THAT IS SUPER IMPORTANT. I DON’T THINK I WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE WITHOUT THEM.” WENDY ADMITS IT WAS HUGELY DIFFICULT TO TAKE A STEP BACK WHEN FRANCES WAS GOING THROUGH HER SELF-DESTRUCTIVE PHASE, BUT SAYS SHE HAD LEARNED FROM HER PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH KURT AND COURTNEY. “ABSOLUTELY I KNEW SHE WOULD MAKE IT, BUT IT WAS VERY HARD NOT TO OVER INSERT MYSELF INTO THE WHOLE… WHEN IT WAS NOT GOOD. THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART,” SHE SAYS. “I KNEW THAT I HAD TO DO THAT, I HAD TO STEP BACK AND KIND OF LET IT RUN ITS COURSE.” SHE ADDS, “IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME BECAUSE I CAN BE REALLY PUSHY. IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO KEEP MY PEACE AND NOT START POUNDING ON HER, ‘THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO’. EVERYBODY WAS MAD AT ME BECAUSE I WASN’T DOING WHAT THEY THOUGHT I SHOULD BE DOING. I SAID, ‘NO, SHE WILL COME TO ME. I KNOW WHO’S INSIDE.” FRANCES DID COME TO HER. SHE SAYS, “I THINK THAT SHE LEARNED WITH KURT AND COURTNEY, WHEN SHE TRIED TO INSERT HERSELF IT MADE THEM ISOLATE MORE AND AS A REACTION OF HER NOT INSERTING HERSELF AND KIND OF LETTING ME DO MY SELF-DESTRUCTIVE THING AND BE AN ASSHOLE SHE ALLOWED ME THE ROOM TO COME TO HER WHEN I NEEDED HER AND THAT MEANS THAT I FELT COMFORTABLE EXPRESSING WHAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH AND WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH OUTSIDE OF THAT AT THAT POINT. I’M REALLY APPRECIATIVE THAT SHE ALLOWED ME TO HEAL MYSELF FIRST.”
FRANCES SAYS COURTNEY IS “SUPPORTIVE” OF THE EXHIBITION AS SHE “RECOGNISES THAT IT’S THEIR VERSION OF KURT AND THIS IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF HER HUSBAND – IT’S REFLECTIVE OF HER SON AND HER BROTHER. WHO SHE KNEW WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PERSON THAN WHO THEY INTIMATELY KNEW.” SHE ADDS, “I ALSO THINK KURT TENDED TO PUT ON A FACADE WITH COURTNEY A LITTLE BIT. HE TENDED TO PLAY UP CERTAIN ASPECTS OF HIS MYSTERY AND HIS DARKNESS BECAUSE IT WAS TRYING TO MATCH HER MYSTERY AND HER DARKNESS, AND THAT’S AWESOME AND THAT’S WHAT THEY HAD.” HOWEVER, SHE SAYS “HE DIDN’T GET TO CHOOSE” WHICH KURT HIS MOTHER AND SISTER SAW, “WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY AUNT THAT WAS JUST WHO HE WAS AND WHO THEY KNEW HIM TO BE.

The presumptuous police statement that started it all
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/tichyreay.jpg)
Approaching the MediaThis photo shows Seattle Police Department’s Spokesperson, Vinette Tishi, leaving the crime scene, (greenhouse), soon after Cobain’s body was found.
She accompanied Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Reay as they walked down the driveway together to where the press had congregated at the entrance to the driveway.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/Vinette.jpg)
The Press ConferenceThis clip proves that on the morning of April 8, 1994, shortly after Cobain was found, SPD’s Vinette Tishi, told the press, “It was obvious this man is dead from a shotgun wound to the head…” then she added, unequivocally,“Now there was a suicide note left inside the, the house.”“Suicide note left in the house.”
As the spokesperson for the Seattle Police Department, Vinette Tishi should not have mentioned anything about a note at all. She had to know what finding “a note” would imply. The fact is, the so-called “suicide note,” as Ms. Vinette called it, was nothing more than “a note” – period. It said nothing about suicide or about Kurt’s desire to kill himself.
This hurried, inaccurate statement from the SPD spokesperson created a national and international press frenzy.
“Kurt Cobain committed suicide!” the media immediately reported.
She let the cat out of the bag before any real investigation could possibly have been completed.
There would be no turning back now!_________________________________________________________ISSUE #3
Initial Handling of the Death Scene
First SPD Report Pg 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/cobaincase.com/list1prcount.jpg?ssl=1)
This is the report filed by the first SPD officer to arrive at the scene of Kurt Cobain’s death. He was in uniform and working in a black and white patrol unit that morning.
Three additional police supervisor’s arrived at the scene taking pictures of a very famous dead person, before the homicide detectives even got there. The blue circles represent each person who entered the room with Cobain’s body. There will be several more before the homicide unit arrives as you’ll see in the next report.
Murders staged to look like suicides occur around this country and around the world every year Patrol officers aren’t trained in homicide or dead body investigations. In most cases, neither are their supervisors. Large cities, like Seattle, normally train their officers to simply contain the scene until a trained and experienced homicide unit arrives. This is not what happened here.
*Also arriving on the scene – prior to the homicide detectives – was Charles Pelly, referred to in the redacted, (blacked out) portion of this report near the bottom. Mr. Pelly was the owner of the Alarm Company who I had spoken with prior to my entry into the Cobain residence late Wednesday night, the 6th of April.
I also met and interviewed Mr. Pelly when I returned to Seattle the following week. The information he provided soon became valuable to my investigation.First SPD Report Pg 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/cobaincase.com/list2pr.jpg?ssl=1)
This continuation page, once again, illustrates the immediate conclusion of suicide reached by the first officer on the scene. He writes, “The note was apparently written by Cobain to his wife and daughter explaining why he had killed himself.”
This officer’s observations should only have included that he observed “a note,” period. It was not his job to decipher its meaning or purpose._________________________________________________________ISSUE #4
Homicide Detectives Concluded “Suicide” On Day #1
After being advised by dispatch that the first arriving officers were, “on the scene of a suicide,” Seattle police Homicide Detectives arrived to take over.
As you can see by their own report, they concluded Cobain’s death was a “suicide” that same day.
In addition, we now see that at least 12 people were or had been walking around a newly discovered dead body, disturbing what might be vital evidence within that 19′ by 22′ room above Cobain’s garage.SPD Homicide Report
Same Date Conclusion

The So-Called “Suicide” NoteCopy Of “The Note”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notemycopy.jpg?ssl=1)
After reading this note for the first time, naturally my first question was, “Did Kurt write this”? It took some time to be sure, but within the first two months after his death, I concluded that he did write the main body of this note, however, the last few lines, after he signed the note, appar to have been added, possibly by someone else.
To be clear, I have very little confidence in the accuracy of what any document examiner might conclude when determining the person or personality of the writer of any document.
Handwriting analysis in not an exact science. Different handwriting experts often have different opinions on who wrote specific documents or letters. I put very little trust in the authority of a handwriting expert’s opinion. Handwriting analysis is not an exact science.Transcript
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notetrans.jpg?ssl=1)
I believe Kurt did write the body of this note. I also believe we could prove in a court of law that the lines beginning with, “which will be so much happier without me, I love you , I love you,” were written at a different time, possibly by a different hand, but definitely with less pressure pushing down on the pen.
But no matter what anyone believes regarding the writer, it is very clear that the main body of this letter was written to Kurt Cabain’s fans, not to his wife.
The idea of anyone automatically referring to this note as a “Suicide” note is ludicrous._________________________________________________________ISSUE #6

Investigated on the premise that this was a homicide?
This is a cut from a televised interview with a Seattle Police Department spokesperson regarding the death of Kurt Cobain. It first aired on a major network 1997.
This was the first coverage of the Cobain case televised by the mainstream media. It has been replayed hundreds of times for more than 25 years on the original network and later on various cable channels.
The Cobain case segment tied with one other segment for their highest Nielsen rated show during the entire 8 year run of this popular television program.Really?
In this SPD report we see that the shotgun used in the death of Kurt Cobain was not even processed for fingerprints until May 6, 1994, nearly one month after Cobain’s body was found!
This detail alone proves that Cobain’s death was not, “investigated on the premise that this was a homicide” as the Seattle Police spokesman deliberatley misrepresented to the public.Shotgun Print ResultsWhat About The Shell Casings?
What About The Pen?
In this SPD report we see that the pre-loaded and expended shell casings were not processed for fingerprints until January 13, 1997, nearly three years after Cobain’s body was found!
This same report from 1997 also referred back to the pen that was allegedly used to write the so-called “suicide note” as having been processed for fingerprints at the same time as the shotgun, nearly one month after Cobain’s body was found.Shell Casings and Pen Print Reports

_________________________________________________________ISSUE #7
Cover-up by the Deputy Medical ExaminerThe Death Certificate
Before we begin discussing the issues related the late Deputy Medical Examiner, Dr. Nicholas Hartshorne, keep in mind that he was just 31 years of age on April 8, 1994; a relatively new doctor when he arrived at the Cobain residence to handle one of the most noteable celebrity deaths of our time.Problem A
Dr. Hartshorne certifies cause of death BEFORE
the toxicology report is available!
An official Seattle Police report displayed at the end of this page publicly certifies the blood morphine level to have been 1.52 mgs. per liter of blood in Cobain’s system when he died.
Now this large dose of heroin documented by the Seattle police, as you will later hear and see, was reported to be a “fatal dose” of black tar heroin.”
But the issue, for now, is not the amount of heroin in Cobain’s blood system. Our leading concern, under “Issue #7 “ is that the results of the toxicology report could not have been known by Dr. Hartshorne before he signed off on Kurt Cobain’s death certificate, labeling the cause of death as “Suicide” just one day after Cobain’s body was found!
In fact, two months after Kurt Cobain was found dead, the body of Kristen Pffaf, bass player for the band “Hole”, was found in her bathtub. She allegedly died from an accidental overdose of heroin. It should be noted that the SPD homicide investigators as well as the Deputy Medical Examiner, Dr. Hartshorne, were the same Seattle authorities who handled the death scenes of both Kurt Cobain and Kristen Pffaf.
On June 18, 1994, the L.A. Times wrote, “The body of Pfaff, 27, was found in her bathtub by a friend. … a nearby purse contained syringes and other drug paraphernalia. …the King County coroner [Medical Examiner] said that no cause of death had been determined, pending results of toxicology tests, which are expected in “four to six weeks.”
Dr. Hartshorne, did not wait “four to six weeks” for the toxicology results before a determination was made in the case of Kurt Cobain’s death. In fact, he didn’t wait at all. The autopsy was finished and the death certificate signed off within 24 hours of the discovery of Cobain’s body.Dr. Cyril Wecht Refutes Dr. HartshorneI met Dr. Cyril Wecht at an event in Pittsburgh in 2018 where we were seated next to each other at a table. As we spoke with each other that evening, I asked him if it was possibly for the King County Medical Examiner’s office to have received the results of the toxicology report within one or even two days after Cobain’s body was found.
“No,” Dr. Wecht replied. “They may have been able to discover, very soon, that Kurt Cobain had heroin in his blood system during the autopsy. But, receiving the figure indicating the amount of the blood level from the crime lab within a couple of days after his body was found – there’s just no way!” he told me, then added, “And you can quote me on that.”
As we parted ways later that evening, Dr. Wecht handed me his business card and asked me to email him so we could “keep in touch.”
I’ll have more to say later about my meeting that evening with Dr. Wecht and his wife, Ingrid.Problem B
The most vital piece of evidence was destroyed!
The Death Certificate indicates that Hartshorne released Cobain’s body to the funeral home where it was allowed to be cremated just (6) days after he was found and prior to receipt of the toxicology report.
This legally permitted the destruction of evidence in a so called homicide investigation, before the possibility of a closer and more thorough examination of the most important item of evidence in this case, Kurt Cobain’s body._________________________________________________________ISSUE #8
Cobain’s death described as a “Classic – Textbook” case of suicide!
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/hs2.jpg?ssl=1)
Listen to young Dr. Hartshorne during a televised interview.
The use of the words “classic” and “textbook” to describe Kurt Cobain’s death was an embellishment and deliberate deception by this young, relatively inexperienced Doctor. How do we know this?
Just one of the many details which expose Hartshorne’s unusual elaboration are revealed, as you will soon see and hear, as Seattle Police Department’s own detective Mike Ciesynski says that he spoke with the King County Medical Examiner’s office about the Cobain case. They told him, “they didn’t think they’d ever seen an overdose with the amount of heroin that was found in Cobain’s system.”
There’s much more to follow here on this “List,” but that detail alone is enough to show that Kurt Cobain’s death could not be be labeled as either “Classic” or “Textbook.”
Then Hartshorne gives a three point list explaining his logic. Let’s examine these three points closely:1. “The fact that there was a suicide note left at the scene.”
Once again, there’s no evidence whatsoever that the note found at the scene of Kurt’s death was a “suicide” note. Dr. Hartshorne apparently believes that if he says it’s a “suicide note” then it is!2. “The weapon is still at the scene.”
This statement is completely preposterous. It demonstrates that Dr. Hartshorne was either deliberatley deceptive or he had no ability, whatsoever, to apply common sense and logic to the scene of a dead body. If, as many suspect, Kurt Cobain was murdered and the scene of his death was staged to look like a suicide, of course the weapon would still be at the scene. Why would the killer(s) take the shotgun away if they wanted this to look like a suicide?
Has there ever been a murder that was staged to look like a suicide, using a weapon of any type, where that weapon was not left at the scene? Of course not! That is not a legitimate talking point here. How does a medical doctor come up with such ridiculous comments?
Furthermore, how would the police ever be fooled into thinking a suicide was actually a murder if the weapon used was missing from the scene? How would a weapon be removed from the death scene UNLESS he or she had been murdered? So, of course the weapon was still at the scene just like any staged murder with a weapon, whether in the U.S. or anywhere else around the world.
It sounded authoritative to a gullible, uncaring media, but in reality, these were ludicrous, thoughtless statements made by Dr. Hartshorne. He must have assumed most people would just accept what he said because, after all, he was the doctor who performed the autopsy and signed Kurt’s death certificate. Who would know better about Cobain’s death than him?
The truth is, anyone who actually paid attention to his words would have seen through these extremely deceptive comments.3. “The nature of the injury.”
“This was a contact shotgun wound to the mouth that required the gun to be against the decedent’s chest. And with this information it makes it a classic textbook example of suicide.”Let’s hear that again last part again.Our undercover phone call.Before he did the above televised interview, we made a phone call to Dr. Hartshorne. Let’s listen to what he told my undercover investigator.Dr. Hartshorne Re: Sitting
There is no disagreement with any of the authorities that Kurt was sitting, or was positioned sitting up, on the floor of the greenhouse when the shotgun was discharged. But with this statement from Hartshorne describing the gun against Kurt’s chest while sitting up, he carelessly describes an impossible death scenerio.Let’s see what that looks like.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/Sitting%20Chest.jpg)
This is the position Hartshorne so thoughtlessly described:
“Sitting” on the floor… “that required the gun to be
against the decedant’s (Cobain’s) chest.”
So if Kurt allegedly shot himself while sitting on the floor, with the 45″ long shotgun “against the decedent’s [his] chest,” as Hartshorne stated here, Kurt would have had to hold the shotgun in an upright position with the butt of the shotgun on the floor and the barrel pointing nearly straight up, as illustrated above.
In other words, with the position described by Hartshorne, there’s no way that Kurt would have been able to get his mouth over the tip of the shotgun barrel while the shotgun was still against his chest.
Remember, Kurt was was only 5’7″ to 5″9′ tall, depending on your source of information.
If Hartshorne actually believed what he told the public in conjunction with what he told my undercover P.I., Kurt Cobain’s death could not have been a “classic…textbook” case of suicide. It would have been an impossible case of suicide.
It certainly sounded as if Hartshorne knew what he was talking about in that televised interview, if no one paid attention to the details and didn’t know any better.
Of course I don’t believe Hartshorne intended to describe this illustrated scenario. I posted this here to illuminate his arrogant carelessness in the handling of his medical roll during Kurt Cobain’s death investigation._________________________________________________________ISSUE #9
Questions about the nature of Cobain’s so called “suicide” note
reveal Dr. Hartshorne’s cavalier attitude.
“It’s “IRRELEVANT”!
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/hsclassiccase.jpg?ssl=1)
How can such a strange note, found at the scene of someone’s death, be simply dismissed as “irrelevant”?
If the note was truly irrelevant, why was it even booked into evidence?
Of course it would not have been irrelevant… if they were truly investigating Kurt’s death as a possible homicide like their SPD spokesperson told the television audience in 1997. Dr. Hartshorne, labeled that note as a “suicide” note even though it says nothing about suicide.
That “note” is more easily interpreted as a note to his fans explaining why he was quitting the “business” of creating music. Then, he adds the footnote – (if Kurt even wrote those last lines) – assuring Courtney that this would be a peaceful divorce but that he didn’t want to be a bad influence on his baby girl, Frances.
I could easily argue that the latter is true based on my firsthand conversations with Kurt’s own friends and personal Lawyer, Rosemary Carroll. The point I want to make clear is that no person, including Dr. Hartshorne, should have or could have automatically labeled that note as a “suicide” note.
Again, Hartshorne seems to believe that if he says it’s a “suicide note” then it is. End of conversation.“Hundreds and Thousands”
The question of Dr. Hartshorne’s credibily arises again when he claims to have read “hundreds and thousands” of suicide notes. Considering about 50% or less of those who committ suicide don’t even leave a note, the reading of even one thousand suicide notes, much less two thousand or more, (“hundreds and thousands”) during this young doctor’s career, sounds deliberately inflated.So, let’s get another take on this.
I had spoken with Dr. Cyril Wecht a couple of times on the phone over the years. But, as I mentioned earlier, a few years ago, while attending an event in Pittsburgh, I was seated next to Dr. Wecht and his lovely wife, Sigrid, who is also a medical Doctor.
The photo below was from my cellphone camera, along with a copy of the email Dr. Wecht later sent in reply to my thanking him for that memorable evening.
During the time we spent together that evening, Dr. Wecht and his wife both seemed more fascinated by the Cobain case than anything else we could have talked about.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/wechtandwifesm.jpg)
So, with such an opportune time to get his feedback, among other issues, I asked him whether it was possible for a medical examiner or coroner to have read over 2000 suicide notes, especially such a young pathologit in his 30’s like Dr. Hartshorne.
“Impossible” was the response from Dr. Wecht._________________________________________________________ISSUE #10
The S.P.D. Spokesperson
DIGS A VERY DEEP HOLE
In March of 2014, in anticipation of the 20th anniversary and the publicity it would bring to those who question their immediate conclusion of suicide, the Seattle Police Department made a pre-emptive strike by having their cold case detective, Mike Ciesynski, “review” the Cobain case and hold a televised press conference.
Many in the media, along with uninformed cobain fans, reported this was a “Reopening” of the Cobain case.
I’m sorry to say that it most certainly was not.
This was just another inept Seattle Police detective attempting to cover the tracks of his predessors by claiming to have “Reviewed” the Cobain case.
SPD Detective Mike Ciesynski said he had done a thorough examination of the original investigation by reading and reviewing all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his recent conclusions.
Let’s analyze what he had to say during this SPD sanctioned, televised interview._________________________________________________________What Are The Odds?
“I don’t think they’d seen anybody with an overdose, in our county at least, that had that much of heroin inside of him.”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynskinotseen.jpg)
Three details are noteworthey here:A. He had an “extreme amount of heroin” in his blood…”B. They’d “never seen anybody” with an overdose, in King County, “that had that much of heroin inside of him.”These combined statements, alone, obliterate any possibility that this was a “Classic… Textbook” case of suicide as Dr. Hartshorne so arrogantly described in his VH1 televised interview shown in Issue #8_________________________________________________________The “Fatal” Dose
“I believe he gave himself a fataldose of black tar heroin.”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/fataldose.jpg)
This was not an accidental misstatement on Ciesynski’s part. He repeats and reiterates his opinion in a number of statements here, after what can only be described as a very thorough review of the original investigation by claiming he read and reviewed all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his conclusion._________________________________________________________“Heroin would have did the trick also.”
“He killed himself because of the shotgun blast,
but the heroin would have did the trick [killed him] also.”
(These are Detective Ciesynski’s exact words,
not my poor use of English).
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/didthetrick.jpg)
There seems to be no doubt in the mind of Seattle PD’s official spokesperson, Detective Mike Ciesynki, that there was no way Kurt Cobain could have survived the high dose of heroin/morphine found in his system during the autopsy.
But that’s really not the issue. The real issue is incapacitation.
Any truthful heroin addict will tell us that Kurt would have been almost immediatley incapacitated after such a large dose of heroin. He would not have been able to put the caps back on the two syringes and place them back in his cigar box kit, then maneuver that long shotgun barrel into his mouth while sitting on a the floor.
He would have been unconcious within a few seconds and even according to Detective Ciesynski, he would have died within minutes._________________________________________________________The “Final Authority”
“and actually, I’m the one who makes the decision, finally…”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notchangedecision.jpg)
A SEPARATE ISSUE
Detective Ciesysnki talks about his decision not to release the graphic photos of Kurt Cobain taken at the scene of his death to the public.
I want to say here that I agree with the decision not to release graphic photos to the public. However, all photos should be open for review by additional outside experts and pathologists within the privacy of the Seattle homicide investigator’s offices – without releasing copies of those photos.THE FINAL AUTHORITY
“It wasn’t gonna change my decision that this was a suicide…”
Of course not. In spite of the exceptionally rare medical evidence along with his observations of the death scene photos, his mind was already made up?
That’s not a surprise here. The Seattle Police Department committed themselves to the “suicide” theory on the day Kurt’s body was found.
“And actually, I’m the one who makes the decision finally, do we go forward or not.”
Detective Ciesynski’s final statement leaves no doubt about the authority he was given over Kurt Cobain’s death investigation._________________________________________________________Detective Ciesynski writes a conflicting police report:Ciesynski Report – Page 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014a.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Point #1 –. This report lacks the common, “Date Written” insert. However, we can easily conclude that this report was written soon after the televised interview with Detective Ciesynski, because parts of this report contradict what he had previously stated on camera.
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Point #2 – You’ll notice that Detective Ciesynski writes, “I contacted and spoke with retired Detective Jim Yoshida, who was one of the original case detectives. The other original case detective, Detective Steve Kirkland, is unfortunately deceased.”
But wait, there was a third “original case detective” assigned to the Cobain investigation. A simple reading of the publicly released police reports under the “Freedom Of Information Act,” clearly indicates that Sgt. Donald Cameron was the lead detective on Kurt Cobain’s death investigation!
So why did Detective Ciesynski fail to mention Sgt. Cameron in this report and why did he use the term, “the other detective…” (implying that there were only two), when he knew full well there was a third?
This was no accidental mistake by Detective Ciesynski. He deliberately excluded the name of the Sgt. Cameron, the supervising Sergeant who was was in charge of Kurt Cobain’s death investigation, because he had since retired when he learned he was about to be fired by by the 1994 Chief Of Police, Norm Stamper, for on-the-job corruption.
“Yeah, let’s just leave Cameron’s name out of this report?”
Ciesynski Report – Page 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014b.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #3 – The first underlined sentence in this report reads: “The blood test results indicate morphine level, 1.52 mg/L (milligrams per Liter).”
So in response to the skeptics over the years who have questioned my firm claim about the heroin [morphine] blood levels in Cobain system, you now have an official Seattle police report that verifies what I wrote over 28 years ago.
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #4 –
Here you’ll see the underlined sentences on page 2 of this report reads: “Dr. Harrufff advised that there was a large amount of morphine, (heroin), and that tolerance is extremely important when evaluating opiate levels. With tolerant individuals, very high levels can be achieved far more than a non-tolerant person.”
Did you notice how Detective Ciesysnki suddenly contradicted his earlier televised statements that Kurt Cobain’s heroin dosage was “Fatal” and that the Medical Examiner’s office had never even seen such a high dose of heroin in an overdose in their county?
So what happened after that televised interview with Detective Ciesysnki? Was he ordered by one of his superiors to walk-back his opinion and bring it in line with the “official Seattle police version” touted publicly for the past 28+ years?
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #5 – “…I noticed that the Remington 20 gauge shotgun was lying on victim’s chest with the receiver facing up. I also observed a spent yellow shell casing lying on a coat at the right side of the photo.” (This would be on the left side of Cobain’s body, but the right side of the photo Detective Ciesynski was describing.)
Now here’s where page #2 of this report goes beyond strange: “I was aware that for the spent casing to have landed to the victims left, the weapon would have had to been turned 180 degrees from what it was found. It appeared evident to what had happened when the weapon was fired, but I requested assistance from SPD Range Armorer Curt Wilson.”
Detective Ciesysnski continues; “I showed Officer Wilson a photo of victim holding the weapon, but I did not identify the victim. Officer Wilson stated that the fired round would have ejected in the direction where it was found and the second round probably malfunctioned due to victim holding the barrel, which prevented free movement of the barrel. The weapon probably pivoted when fired, and fell to the present position. Held in this manner, the fired round would have ejected to where it was depicted in the photo.”Ciesynski Report – Page 3
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014c.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 3. – Here, finally is the unbiased conclusion reached by Detective Ciesynski as he said he would not release all of the crime scene photos of Kurt’s face, (I agree with with that decision), but then he openly admits, “It wasn’t going to change my opinion.”
So it’s no surprise here that this report, obviously written by Detective Ciesynski, was simply a continuation in the cover-up of an extremely botched investigation by the original detectives sent to the scene of Cobain’s death.Ciesynski Report – Page 4
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014d.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 4. – Note: The last two pages of Detective Ciesynski’s police report on his review of Kurt Cobain’s death investigation have now been made public. This appears to be the fourth page of what was a form police report. I believe these two pages were not made available at first because the general public may have misunderstood these last two pages due to some of the standard template wording.
For example; “There is probable cause to believe the SUSPECT committed the crime of CRIME.” Although the wording there appears to be somewhat strange, I think it’s just part of this form and probably should be interpreted more accurately by the public as, “There is probable cause to believe the VICTIM [Kurt Cobain] committed the ACT of SUICDE.”
Even though the first page of this report indicates it was submitted by Detective Ciesynski, I find it interesting that we see no signature on the line given for Detective Ciesynski to sign the report.
It was obvious that the Seattle Police Department needed to do some serious damage control after Detective Ciesynski’s televised interview. Many of his publicized statements had never been acknowledged by the Seattle Police Department or the King County Medical Examiner’s office during the past 20+ years since Cobain’s deathCiesynski Report – Page 5
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014e.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 5. – Note: This appears to be the fifth page of this police report form. Although it reads – “Investigation” – the report is blank from that point on. This simply indicates to me that this report form can also be used for the purpose of reporting other crimes and incidents.
I see nothing noteworthy here. It was only included because it was part of the public documents release included with the pages added above.IN CONCLUSION
I have my personal opinion about how and when Kurt Cobain died, along with a short list of those who I believe were involved in causing his death.
As the private investigator embedded in this case before Cobain died as well as having direct involvement for seven months following his death, no one else has witnessed the events and heard the discussions that I have witnessed and heard. So I do have a right to my personal opinion.
However, I’ve never asked anyone to agree with me about the cause of Cobain’s death, even though on the surface, there appears to be much more evidence indicating homicide rather than suicide.
I’m simply asking everyone with an ounce of common sense, to please review this case closely, and with an open mind, considering all of the material posted above.
I believe it proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the investigation into Cobain’s death was first botched, then covered-up by the Seattle authorities.
Without realizing it, the Seattle police Department exposed more of the real truth behind the 1994 investigation into Cobain’s death than I’m sure they intended to reveal with this SPD sanctioned televised interview.
They also dug a hole far too deep for the Seattle authorities to climb back out.Therefore, the findings in the death of Kurt Cobain
must be changed from
“SUICIDE” to “UNDETERMINED.”

CASE OUTLINE
Kurt Cobain left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey California on April 1, 1994 and was later reported missing.
As you probably know, he was found dead just seven days later.
On April 3, 1994 (while conducting business as a California State licensed private investigator), I was hired by Courtney Love (who was in Los Angeles at the time), to locate her husband after he left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey, California. Ms. Love stayed in Los Angeles while I flew to Seattle to search for Cobain with his best friend Dylan Carlson. In fact, Carlson and I had been in the Cobain residence the night before Kurt’s body was discovered in the room above the garage.
The police immediately concluded “suicide.” I wasn’t so sure. Neither was Rosemary Carroll, Courtney Love’s own entertainment attorney. Ms. Carroll was also a close friend to both Courtney and Kurt. We both knew something was terribly wrong here.
After several months of intensive investigation, including dozens of taped interviews with Cobain’s closest friends and family members, I reached the conclusion that Courtney Love and Michael Dewitt, (the male nanny who lived at the Cobain residence), were involved in a conspiracy that resulted in the murder of Kurt Cobain.
It appears this was not the first attempt on Cobain’s life by Courtney Love, however, it was obviously the first to succeed.
In December of 1994, I began speaking publicly about the suspicious circumstances surrounding Cobain’s death.
Facing the potential consequences of exposure, Courtney Love, her wealthy and powerful friends, her attorney’s and the symbiotic “rock press” have engaged in an effort to keep the public from learning the true facts about Kurt’s death.
These are people who are motivated by profit rather than truth. Courtney’s attorneys have consistently threatened those in various media outlets with “potential lawsuits” if these journalists were to give me a platform from which to discuss my investigation of the Cobain Case.
As I predicted when I first began telling the public about the details of my investigation more than 21 years ago, no legal, criminal or civil, action has ever been taken against myself or anyone in the media who has covered this story.
In spite of the hot air they’ve been blowing all these years, this investigation has received coverage in hundreds of major newspapers, magazines, television and radio talk shows around the globe.
The pathetic cowards of this world can only blow smoke. Once they’ve been exposed, they run and hide.Here is just some of…
WHAT YOU WERE NEVER TOLD
Courtney Love was facing a divorce.
Kurt was in the process of leaving Seattle and his wife Courtney, when he was found dead.
Courtney knew Kurt wanted out of the marriage. Just weeks prior to his death, she asked one of her attorneys to get the “meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer” she could find.
Someone was using Kurt’s credit card.
One of Kurt’s credit cards was missing when his body was discovered.
Someone was attempting to use the missing credit card after Cobain died, but the attempts stopped when his body was discovered.
Cobain was in fear of his life.
The shotgun found at the scene was purchased BEFORE Cobain left for rehab in Los Angeles, NOT AFTER he fled the rehab as reported by misinformed media sources.
The shotgun was fully loaded with three shells. It was purchased and loaded for protection, not suicide.
The police claim there were no legible fingerprints on this shotgun!
The truth is, the shotgun wasn’t even checked for fingerprints until May 6th, nearly one month after Cobain’s body was found.
There was no “suicide” note!
The note found at the scene by the police was immediately labeled as a “suicide note.” The police report states it was “apparently written by Cobain to his wife and daughter, explaining why he had killed himself.”
But this note was not addressed to Kurt’s wife and daughter and it says nothing about “killing himself!” This note was clearly written to Cobain’s fans telling them he was quitting the music business. There was only a short footnote to Courtney and Frances and the handwriting contained in those lines has been questioned by several handwriting experts.
Courtney had another note she kept in secret.
Courtney was in possession of a second note after Kurt’s body was found! SHE DIDN’T TELL ANYONE about this second note until several months later when information about it slipped out during an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine.
The second note, the one that Courtney kept in secret, clearly defines the first note which was found at the scene of Cobain’s death. The “second note” from Kurt plainly states he was leaving Courtney and he was leaving Seattle. He was NOT leaving the planet.
Cobain was injected with 3 times a lethal dose of heroin!
Cobain’s heroin, (morphine), blood level was 1.52 mgs per liter. This would require a minimum injection of 225 mgs of heroin, three times a lethal dose, even for a hardcore heroin addict. The drug Diazepam, was also found in Cobain’s blood system.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/uLfx95jwntg?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparentCobain Case By Tom Grant
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.
The official verdict of “suicide” was simply a rush to judgement which eventually painted the authorities into a corner as reports of so-called “copy-cat” suicides began making the news.
As you examine this case carefully, you’re going to discover there’s much more to the events surrounding Cobain’s death than what you’ve been told

The presumptuous police statement that started it all
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/tichyreay.jpg)
Approaching the MediaThis photo shows Seattle Police Department’s Spokesperson, Vinette Tishi, leaving the crime scene, (greenhouse), soon after Cobain’s body was found.
She accompanied Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Reay as they walked down the driveway together to where the press had congregated at the entrance to the driveway.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/Vinette.jpg)
The Press ConferenceThis clip proves that on the morning of April 8, 1994, shortly after Cobain was found, SPD’s Vinette Tishi, told the press, “It was obvious this man is dead from a shotgun wound to the head…” then she added, unequivocally,“Now there was a suicide note left inside the, the house.”“Suicide note left in the house.”
As the spokesperson for the Seattle Police Department, Vinette Tishi should not have mentioned anything about a note at all. She had to know what finding “a note” would imply. The fact is, the so-called “suicide note,” as Ms. Vinette called it, was nothing more than “a note” – period. It said nothing about suicide or about Kurt’s desire to kill himself.
This hurried, inaccurate statement from the SPD spokesperson created a national and international press frenzy.
“Kurt Cobain committed suicide!” the media immediately reported.
She let the cat out of the bag before any real investigation could possibly have been completed.
There would be no turning back now!_________________________________________________________ISSUE #3
Initial Handling of the Death Scene
First SPD Report Pg 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/cobaincase.com/list1prcount.jpg?ssl=1)
This is the report filed by the first SPD officer to arrive at the scene of Kurt Cobain’s death. He was in uniform and working in a black and white patrol unit that morning.
Three additional police supervisor’s arrived at the scene taking pictures of a very famous dead person, before the homicide detectives even got there. The blue circles represent each person who entered the room with Cobain’s body. There will be several more before the homicide unit arrives as you’ll see in the next report.
Murders staged to look like suicides occur around this country and around the world every year Patrol officers aren’t trained in homicide or dead body investigations. In most cases, neither are their supervisors. Large cities, like Seattle, normally train their officers to simply contain the scene until a trained and experienced homicide unit arrives. This is not what happened here.
*Also arriving on the scene – prior to the homicide detectives – was Charles Pelly, referred to in the redacted, (blacked out) portion of this report near the bottom. Mr. Pelly was the owner of the Alarm Company who I had spoken with prior to my entry into the Cobain residence late Wednesday night, the 6th of April.
I also met and interviewed Mr. Pelly when I returned to Seattle the following week. The information he provided soon became valuable to my investigation.First SPD Report Pg 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/cobaincase.com/list2pr.jpg?ssl=1)
This continuation page, once again, illustrates the immediate conclusion of suicide reached by the first officer on the scene. He writes, “The note was apparently written by Cobain to his wife and daughter explaining why he had killed himself.”
This officer’s observations should only have included that he observed “a note,” period. It was not his job to decipher its meaning or purpose._________________________________________________________ISSUE #4
Homicide Detectives Concluded “Suicide” On Day #1
After being advised by dispatch that the first arriving officers were, “on the scene of a suicide,” Seattle police Homicide Detectives arrived to take over.
As you can see by their own report, they concluded Cobain’s death was a “suicide” that same day.
In addition, we now see that at least 12 people were or had been walking around a newly discovered dead body, disturbing what might be vital evidence within that 19′ by 22′ room above Cobain’s garage.SPD Homicide Report

The So-Called “Suicide” NoteCopy Of “The Note”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notemycopy.jpg?ssl=1)
After reading this note for the first time, naturally my first question was, “Did Kurt write this”? It took some time to be sure, but within the first two months after his death, I concluded that he did write the main body of this note, however, the last few lines, after he signed the note, appar to have been added, possibly by someone else.
To be clear, I have very little confidence in the accuracy of what any document examiner might conclude when determining the person or personality of the writer of any document.
Handwriting analysis in not an exact science. Different handwriting experts often have different opinions on who wrote specific documents or letters. I put very little trust in the authority of a handwriting expert’s opinion. Handwriting analysis is not an exact science.Transcript
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notetrans.jpg?ssl=1)
I believe Kurt did write the body of this note. I also believe we could prove in a court of law that the lines beginning with, “which will be so much happier without me, I love you , I love you,” were written at a different time, possibly by a different hand, but definitely with less pressure pushing down on the pen.
But no matter what anyone believes regarding the writer, it is very clear that the main body of this letter was written to Kurt Cabain’s fans, not to his wife.
The idea of anyone automatically referring to this note as a “Suicide” note is ludicrous._________________________________________________________ISSUE #6

Investigated on the premise that this was a homicide?
This is a cut from a televised interview with a Seattle Police Department spokesperson regarding the death of Kurt Cobain. It first aired on a major network 1997.
This was the first coverage of the Cobain case televised by the mainstream media. It has been replayed hundreds of times for more than 25 years on the original network and later on various cable channels.
The Cobain case segment tied with one other segment for their highest Nielsen rated show during the entire 8 year run of this popular television program.Really?
In this SPD report we see that the shotgun used in the death of Kurt Cobain was not even processed for fingerprints until May 6, 1994, nearly one month after Cobain’s body was found!
This detail alone proves that Cobain’s death was not, “investigated on the premise that this was a homicide” as the Seattle Police spokesman deliberatley misrepresented to the public.Shotgun Print ResultsWhat About The Shell Casings?
What About The Pen?
In this SPD report we see that the pre-loaded and expended shell casings were not processed for fingerprints until January 13, 1997, nearly three years after Cobain’s body was found!
This same report from 1997 also referred back to the pen that was allegedly used to write the so-called “suicide note” as having been processed for fingerprints at the same time as the shotgun, nearly one month after Cobain’s body was found.Shell Casings and Pen Print Reports

_________________________________________________________ISSUE #7
Cover-up by the Deputy Medical ExaminerThe Death Certificate
Before we begin discussing the issues related the late Deputy Medical Examiner, Dr. Nicholas Hartshorne, keep in mind that he was just 31 years of age on April 8, 1994; a relatively new doctor when he arrived at the Cobain residence to handle one of the most noteable celebrity deaths of our time.Problem A
Dr. Hartshorne certifies cause of death BEFORE
the toxicology report is available!
An official Seattle Police report displayed at the end of this page publicly certifies the blood morphine level to have been 1.52 mgs. per liter of blood in Cobain’s system when he died.
Now this large dose of heroin documented by the Seattle police, as you will later hear and see, was reported to be a “fatal dose” of black tar heroin.”
But the issue, for now, is not the amount of heroin in Cobain’s blood system. Our leading concern, under “Issue #7 “ is that the results of the toxicology report could not have been known by Dr. Hartshorne before he signed off on Kurt Cobain’s death certificate, labeling the cause of death as “Suicide” just one day after Cobain’s body was found!
In fact, two months after Kurt Cobain was found dead, the body of Kristen Pffaf, bass player for the band “Hole”, was found in her bathtub. She allegedly died from an accidental overdose of heroin. It should be noted that the SPD homicide investigators as well as the Deputy Medical Examiner, Dr. Hartshorne, were the same Seattle authorities who handled the death scenes of both Kurt Cobain and Kristen Pffaf.
On June 18, 1994, the L.A. Times wrote, “The body of Pfaff, 27, was found in her bathtub by a friend. … a nearby purse contained syringes and other drug paraphernalia. …the King County coroner [Medical Examiner] said that no cause of death had been determined, pending results of toxicology tests, which are expected in “four to six weeks.”
Dr. Hartshorne, did not wait “four to six weeks” for the toxicology results before a determination was made in the case of Kurt Cobain’s death. In fact, he didn’t wait at all. The autopsy was finished and the death certificate signed off within 24 hours of the discovery of Cobain’s body.Dr. Cyril Wecht Refutes Dr. HartshorneI met Dr. Cyril Wecht at an event in Pittsburgh in 2018 where we were seated next to each other at a table. As we spoke with each other that evening, I asked him if it was possibly for the King County Medical Examiner’s office to have received the results of the toxicology report within one or even two days after Cobain’s body was found.
“No,” Dr. Wecht replied. “They may have been able to discover, very soon, that Kurt Cobain had heroin in his blood system during the autopsy. But, receiving the figure indicating the amount of the blood level from the crime lab within a couple of days after his body was found – there’s just no way!” he told me, then added, “And you can quote me on that.”
As we parted ways later that evening, Dr. Wecht handed me his business card and asked me to email him so we could “keep in touch.”
I’ll have more to say later about my meeting that evening with Dr. Wecht and his wife, Ingrid.Problem B
The most vital piece of evidence was destroyed!
The Death Certificate indicates that Hartshorne released Cobain’s body to the funeral home where it was allowed to be cremated just (6) days after he was found and prior to receipt of the toxicology report.
This legally permitted the destruction of evidence in a so called homicide investigation, before the possibility of a closer and more thorough examination of the most important item of evidence in this case, Kurt Cobain’s body._________________________________________________________ISSUE #8
Cobain’s death described as a “Classic – Textbook” case of suicide!
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/hs2.jpg?ssl=1)
Listen to young Dr. Hartshorne during a televised interview.
The use of the words “classic” and “textbook” to describe Kurt Cobain’s death was an embellishment and deliberate deception by this young, relatively inexperienced Doctor. How do we know this?
Just one of the many details which expose Hartshorne’s unusual elaboration are revealed, as you will soon see and hear, as Seattle Police Department’s own detective Mike Ciesynski says that he spoke with the King County Medical Examiner’s office about the Cobain case. They told him, “they didn’t think they’d ever seen an overdose with the amount of heroin that was found in Cobain’s system.”
There’s much more to follow here on this “List,” but that detail alone is enough to show that Kurt Cobain’s death could not be be labeled as either “Classic” or “Textbook.”
Then Hartshorne gives a three point list explaining his logic. Let’s examine these three points closely:1. “The fact that there was a suicide note left at the scene.”
Once again, there’s no evidence whatsoever that the note found at the scene of Kurt’s death was a “suicide” note. Dr. Hartshorne apparently believes that if he says it’s a “suicide note” then it is!2. “The weapon is still at the scene.”
This statement is completely preposterous. It demonstrates that Dr. Hartshorne was either deliberatley deceptive or he had no ability, whatsoever, to apply common sense and logic to the scene of a dead body. If, as many suspect, Kurt Cobain was murdered and the scene of his death was staged to look like a suicide, of course the weapon would still be at the scene. Why would the killer(s) take the shotgun away if they wanted this to look like a suicide?
Has there ever been a murder that was staged to look like a suicide, using a weapon of any type, where that weapon was not left at the scene? Of course not! That is not a legitimate talking point here. How does a medical doctor come up with such ridiculous comments?
Furthermore, how would the police ever be fooled into thinking a suicide was actually a murder if the weapon used was missing from the scene? How would a weapon be removed from the death scene UNLESS he or she had been murdered? So, of course the weapon was still at the scene just like any staged murder with a weapon, whether in the U.S. or anywhere else around the world.
It sounded authoritative to a gullible, uncaring media, but in reality, these were ludicrous, thoughtless statements made by Dr. Hartshorne. He must have assumed most people would just accept what he said because, after all, he was the doctor who performed the autopsy and signed Kurt’s death certificate. Who would know better about Cobain’s death than him?
The truth is, anyone who actually paid attention to his words would have seen through these extremely deceptive comments.3. “The nature of the injury.”
“This was a contact shotgun wound to the mouth that required the gun to be against the decedent’s chest. And with this information it makes it a classic textbook example of suicide.”Let’s hear that again last part again.Our undercover phone call.Before he did the above televised interview, we made a phone call to Dr. Hartshorne. Let’s listen to what he told my undercover investigator.Dr. Hartshorne Re: Sitting
There is no disagreement with any of the authorities that Kurt was sitting, or was positioned sitting up, on the floor of the greenhouse when the shotgun was discharged. But with this statement from Hartshorne describing the gun against Kurt’s chest while sitting up, he carelessly describes an impossible death scenerio.Let’s see what that looks like.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/Sitting%20Chest.jpg)
This is the position Hartshorne so thoughtlessly described:
“Sitting” on the floor… “that required the gun to be
against the decedant’s (Cobain’s) chest.”
So if Kurt allegedly shot himself while sitting on the floor, with the 45″ long shotgun “against the decedent’s [his] chest,” as Hartshorne stated here, Kurt would have had to hold the shotgun in an upright position with the butt of the shotgun on the floor and the barrel pointing nearly straight up, as illustrated above.
In other words, with the position described by Hartshorne, there’s no way that Kurt would have been able to get his mouth over the tip of the shotgun barrel while the shotgun was still against his chest.
Remember, Kurt was was only 5’7″ to 5″9′ tall, depending on your source of information.
If Hartshorne actually believed what he told the public in conjunction with what he told my undercover P.I., Kurt Cobain’s death could not have been a “classic…textbook” case of suicide. It would have been an impossible case of suicide.
It certainly sounded as if Hartshorne knew what he was talking about in that televised interview, if no one paid attention to the details and didn’t know any better.
Of course I don’t believe Hartshorne intended to describe this illustrated scenario. I posted this here to illuminate his arrogant carelessness in the handling of his medical roll during Kurt Cobain’s death investigation._________________________________________________________ISSUE #9
Questions about the nature of Cobain’s so called “suicide” note
reveal Dr. Hartshorne’s cavalier attitude.
“It’s “IRRELEVANT”!
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/hsclassiccase.jpg?ssl=1)
How can such a strange note, found at the scene of someone’s death, be simply dismissed as “irrelevant”?
If the note was truly irrelevant, why was it even booked into evidence?
Of course it would not have been irrelevant… if they were truly investigating Kurt’s death as a possible homicide like their SPD spokesperson told the television audience in 1997. Dr. Hartshorne, labeled that note as a “suicide” note even though it says nothing about suicide.
That “note” is more easily interpreted as a note to his fans explaining why he was quitting the “business” of creating music. Then, he adds the footnote – (if Kurt even wrote those last lines) – assuring Courtney that this would be a peaceful divorce but that he didn’t want to be a bad influence on his baby girl, Frances.
I could easily argue that the latter is true based on my firsthand conversations with Kurt’s own friends and personal Lawyer, Rosemary Carroll. The point I want to make clear is that no person, including Dr. Hartshorne, should have or could have automatically labeled that note as a “suicide” note.
Again, Hartshorne seems to believe that if he says it’s a “suicide note” then it is. End of conversation.“Hundreds and Thousands”
The question of Dr. Hartshorne’s credibily arises again when he claims to have read “hundreds and thousands” of suicide notes. Considering about 50% or less of those who committ suicide don’t even leave a note, the reading of even one thousand suicide notes, much less two thousand or more, (“hundreds and thousands”) during this young doctor’s career, sounds deliberately inflated.So, let’s get another take on this.
I had spoken with Dr. Cyril Wecht a couple of times on the phone over the years. But, as I mentioned earlier, a few years ago, while attending an event in Pittsburgh, I was seated next to Dr. Wecht and his lovely wife, Sigrid, who is also a medical Doctor.
The photo below was from my cellphone camera, along with a copy of the email Dr. Wecht later sent in reply to my thanking him for that memorable evening.
During the time we spent together that evening, Dr. Wecht and his wife both seemed more fascinated by the Cobain case than anything else we could have talked about.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/wechtandwifesm.jpg)
So, with such an opportune time to get his feedback, among other issues, I asked him whether it was possible for a medical examiner or coroner to have read over 2000 suicide notes, especially such a young pathologit in his 30’s like Dr. Hartshorne.
“Impossible” was the response from Dr. Wecht._________________________________________________________ISSUE #10
The S.P.D. Spokesperson
DIGS A VERY DEEP HOLE
In March of 2014, in anticipation of the 20th anniversary and the publicity it would bring to those who question their immediate conclusion of suicide, the Seattle Police Department made a pre-emptive strike by having their cold case detective, Mike Ciesynski, “review” the Cobain case and hold a televised press conference.
Many in the media, along with uninformed cobain fans, reported this was a “Reopening” of the Cobain case.
I’m sorry to say that it most certainly was not.
This was just another inept Seattle Police detective attempting to cover the tracks of his predessors by claiming to have “Reviewed” the Cobain case.
SPD Detective Mike Ciesynski said he had done a thorough examination of the original investigation by reading and reviewing all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his recent conclusions.
Let’s analyze what he had to say during this SPD sanctioned, televised interview._________________________________________________________What Are The Odds?

They’d “never seen anybody” with an overdose, in King County, “that had that much of heroin inside of him.”These combined statements, alone, obliterate any possibility that this was a “Classic… Textbook” case of suicide as Dr. Hartshorne so arrogantly described in his VH1 televised interview shown in Issue #8_________________________________________________________The “Fatal” Dose
“I believe he gave himself a fataldose of black tar heroin.”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/fataldose.jpg)
This was not an accidental misstatement on Ciesynski’s part. He repeats and reiterates his opinion in a number of statements here, after what can only be described as a very thorough review of the original investigation by claiming he read and reviewed all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his conclusion._________________________________________________________“Heroin would have did the trick also.”
“He killed himself because of the shotgun blast,
but the heroin would have did the trick [killed him] also.”
(These are Detective Ciesynski’s exact words,
not my poor use of English).
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/didthetrick.jpg)
There seems to be no doubt in the mind of Seattle PD’s official spokesperson, Detective Mike Ciesynki, that there was no way Kurt Cobain could have survived the high dose of heroin/morphine found in his system during the autopsy.
But that’s really not the issue. The real issue is incapacitation.
Any truthful heroin addict will tell us that Kurt would have been almost immediatley incapacitated after such a large dose of heroin. He would not have been able to put the caps back on the two syringes and place them back in his cigar box kit, then maneuver that long shotgun barrel into his mouth while sitting on a the floor.
He would have been unconcious within a few seconds and even according to Detective Ciesynski, he would have died within minutes._________________________________________________________The “Final Authority”
“and actually, I’m the one who makes the decision, finally…”
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/notchangedecision.jpg)
A SEPARATE ISSUE
Detective Ciesysnki talks about his decision not to release the graphic photos of Kurt Cobain taken at the scene of his death to the public.
I want to say here that I agree with the decision not to release graphic photos to the public. However, all photos should be open for review by additional outside experts and pathologists within the privacy of the Seattle homicide investigator’s offices – without releasing copies of those photos.THE FINAL AUTHORITY
“It wasn’t gonna change my decision that this was a suicide…”
Of course not. In spite of the exceptionally rare medical evidence along with his observations of the death scene photos, his mind was already made up?
That’s not a surprise here. The Seattle Police Department committed themselves to the “suicide” theory on the day Kurt’s body was found.
“And actually, I’m the one who makes the decision finally, do we go forward or not.”
Detective Ciesynski’s final statement leaves no doubt about the authority he was given over Kurt Cobain’s death investigation._________________________________________________________Detective Ciesynski writes a conflicting police report:Ciesynski Report – Page 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014a.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Point #1 –. This report lacks the common, “Date Written” insert. However, we can easily conclude that this report was written soon after the televised interview with Detective Ciesynski, because parts of this report contradict what he had previously stated on camera.
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Point #2 – You’ll notice that Detective Ciesynski writes, “I contacted and spoke with retired Detective Jim Yoshida, who was one of the original case detectives. The other original case detective, Detective Steve Kirkland, is unfortunately deceased.”
But wait, there was a third “original case detective” assigned to the Cobain investigation. A simple reading of the publicly released police reports under the “Freedom Of Information Act,” clearly indicates that Sgt. Donald Cameron was the lead detective on Kurt Cobain’s death investigation!
So why did Detective Ciesynski fail to mention Sgt. Cameron in this report and why did he use the term, “the other detective…” (implying that there were only two), when he knew full well there was a third?
This was no accidental mistake by Detective Ciesynski. He deliberately excluded the name of the Sgt. Cameron, the supervising Sergeant who was was in charge of Kurt Cobain’s death investigation, because he had since retired when he learned he was about to be fired by by the 1994 Chief Of Police, Norm Stamper, for on-the-job corruption.
“Yeah, let’s just leave Cameron’s name out of this report?”
Ciesynski Report – Page 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014b.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #3 – The first underlined sentence in this report reads: “The blood test results indicate morphine level, 1.52 mg/L (milligrams per Liter).”
So in response to the skeptics over the years who have questioned my firm claim about the heroin [morphine] blood levels in Cobain system, you now have an official Seattle police report that verifies what I wrote over 28 years ago.
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #4 –
Here you’ll see the underlined sentences on page 2 of this report reads: “Dr. Harrufff advised that there was a large amount of morphine, (heroin), and that tolerance is extremely important when evaluating opiate levels. With tolerant individuals, very high levels can be achieved far more than a non-tolerant person.”
Did you notice how Detective Ciesysnki suddenly contradicted his earlier televised statements that Kurt Cobain’s heroin dosage was “Fatal” and that the Medical Examiner’s office had never even seen such a high dose of heroin in an overdose in their county?
So what happened after that televised interview with Detective Ciesysnki? Was he ordered by one of his superiors to walk-back his opinion and bring it in line with the “official Seattle police version” touted publicly for the past 28+ years?
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Point #5 – “…I noticed that the Remington 20 gauge shotgun was lying on victim’s chest with the receiver facing up. I also observed a spent yellow shell casing lying on a coat at the right side of the photo.” (This would be on the left side of Cobain’s body, but the right side of the photo Detective Ciesynski was describing.)
Now here’s where page #2 of this report goes beyond strange: “I was aware that for the spent casing to have landed to the victims left, the weapon would have had to been turned 180 degrees from what it was found. It appeared evident to what had happened when the weapon was fired, but I requested assistance from SPD Range Armorer Curt Wilson.”
Detective Ciesysnski continues; “I showed Officer Wilson a photo of victim holding the weapon, but I did not identify the victim. Officer Wilson stated that the fired round would have ejected in the direction where it was found and the second round probably malfunctioned due to victim holding the barrel, which prevented free movement of the barrel. The weapon probably pivoted when fired, and fell to the present position. Held in this manner, the fired round would have ejected to where it was depicted in the photo.”Ciesynski Report – Page 3
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014c.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 3. – Here, finally is the unbiased conclusion reached by Detective Ciesynski as he said he would not release all of the crime scene photos of Kurt’s face, (I agree with with that decision), but then he openly admits, “It wasn’t going to change my opinion.”
So it’s no surprise here that this report, obviously written by Detective Ciesynski, was simply a continuation in the cover-up of an extremely botched investigation by the original detectives sent to the scene of Cobain’s death.Ciesynski Report – Page 4
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014d.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 4. – Note: The last two pages of Detective Ciesynski’s police report on his review of Kurt Cobain’s death investigation have now been made public. This appears to be the fourth page of what was a form police report. I believe these two pages were not made available at first because the general public may have misunderstood these last two pages due to some of the standard template wording.
For example; “There is probable cause to believe the SUSPECT committed the crime of CRIME.” Although the wording there appears to be somewhat strange, I think it’s just part of this form and probably should be interpreted more accurately by the public as, “There is probable cause to believe the VICTIM [Kurt Cobain] committed the ACT of SUICDE.”
Even though the first page of this report indicates it was submitted by Detective Ciesynski, I find it interesting that we see no signature on the line given for Detective Ciesynski to sign the report.
It was obvious that the Seattle Police Department needed to do some serious damage control after Detective Ciesynski’s televised interview. Many of his publicized statements had never been acknowledged by the Seattle Police Department or the King County Medical Examiner’s office during the past 20+ years since Cobain’s deathCiesynski Report – Page 5
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.cobaincase.com/ciesynski2014e.jpg)
Ciesynski Report, Pg. 5. – Note: This appears to be the fifth page of this police report form. Although it reads – “Investigation” – the report is blank from that point on. This simply indicates to me that this report form can also be used for the purpose of reporting other crimes and incidents.
I see nothing noteworthy here. It was only included because it was part of the public documents release included with the pages added above.IN CONCLUSION
I have my personal opinion about how and when Kurt Cobain died, along with a short list of those who I believe were involved in causing his death.
As the private investigator embedded in this case before Cobain died as well as having direct involvement for seven months following his death, no one else has witnessed the events and heard the discussions that I have witnessed and heard. So I do have a right to my personal opinion.
However, I’ve never asked anyone to agree with me about the cause of Cobain’s death, even though on the surface, there appears to be much more evidence indicating homicide rather than suicide.
I’m simply asking everyone with an ounce of common sense, to please review this case closely, and with an open mind, considering all of the material posted above.
I believe it proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the investigation into Cobain’s death was first botched, then covered-up by the Seattle authorities.
Without realizing it, the Seattle police Department exposed more of the real truth behind the 1994 investigation into Cobain’s death than I’m sure they intended to reveal with this SPD sanctioned televised interview.
They also dug a hole far too deep for the Seattle authorities to climb back out.Therefore, the findings in the death of Kurt Cobain
must be changed from
“SUICIDE” to “UNDETERMINED.”

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is in danger of losing its accreditation. This is because of a problem KIRO 7 first told you about last week: Washington State Patrol’s toxicology lab is dealing with a growing backlog of blood to process, and it’s taking months to get out results. KIRO 7’s Deedee Sun told you how the problem is impacting prosecutors’ ability to prosecute DUI suspects. The problem is impacting medical examiner offices too.

“Thank you for your message regarding the interview you conducted with Dr. Cyril Wecht. Your original request on February 12th did not make it to Dr. Harruff, and the other people you mention sending it to are not in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. I’m responding to your latest message on behalf of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, which is part of our public health department. As Dr. Wecht pointed out in the article, in order for him to review the autopsy report, Mr. Cobain’s next of kin would need to request the report from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, and forward it to him. This would be the same situation for any other pathologist or group of pathologists. At the time of this case, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office worked with local law enforcement, conducted a full autopsy, and followed all of its procedures in coming to the determination of the manner of death as suicide. As the autopsy records are private under state law, we cannot provide details about what informed our conclusion. I can tell you that two pathologists went to the scene and reviewed the case, including Dr. Hartshorne and Dr. Donald Reay, then the chief medical examiner for King County. At the time of this case, Dr. Reay had been with the King County Medical Examiner’s Officer for 19 years with extensive experience prior to that. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is always open to revisiting its conclusions if new evidence comes to light, but we have seen nothing to date that would warrant re-opening the case and our previous determination of death. Thanks, James Apa Communications Director Public Health – Seattle & King County” After receiving the statement from Communications Director James Apa we requested copies of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office death investigation procedures from 1994, copies of any accreditation applications KCMEO submitted for 1994, and copies of any accreditation KCMEO possessed in 1994. King County Public Records Officer Julie Kipp responded on March 11, 2020: “I confirmed with the Medical Examiner’s Office that the documents you requested have been destroyed in accordance with retention schedules and therefore there are no responsive records.” In light of the lack of responsive records we asked on what King County based their statement that the Medical Examiner’s Office “followed all of its procedures.” Mr. Apa responded on March 19, 2020: “Based on knowledge of staff who were in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death, we know that the office’s procedures at that time were followed.” In the course of further correspondence regarding the current accreditation requirements for the King County Examiner’s Office, Public Records Officer Julie Kipp wrote on March 18, 2020: “We received only provisional accreditation this year related to the timeliness of receiving toxicology reports from the state lab. Cases are supposed to be cleared in no more than 90 days, but toxicology takes longer, due to a backlog at the state lab. We currently have equipment in house which we can use for preliminary results, but the office did not have that in 1994.” Between February 19, 2020 and February 27, 2020, we reached out to Seattle Police Department spokesperson Sean Whitcomb and Seattle mayor’s spokesperson Kamaria Hightower. We requested a brief phone interview with the Chief of Seattle Police Carmen Best, or a comment from SPD regarding our interview with Dr. Cyril Wecht. All of our four emails remain unanswered.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is in danger of losing its accreditation. This is because of a problem KIRO 7 first told you about last week: Washington State Patrol’s toxicology lab is dealing with a growing backlog of blood to process, and it’s taking months to get out results. KIRO 7’s Deedee Sun told you how the problem is impacting prosecutors’ ability to prosecute DUI suspects. The problem is impacting medical examiner offices too.

“Thank you for your message regarding the interview you conducted with Dr. Cyril Wecht. Your original request on February 12th did not make it to Dr. Harruff, and the other people you mention sending it to are not in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. I’m responding to your latest message on behalf of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, which is part of our public health department. As Dr. Wecht pointed out in the article, in order for him to review the autopsy report, Mr. Cobain’s next of kin would need to request the report from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, and forward it to him. This would be the same situation for any other pathologist or group of pathologists. At the time of this case, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office worked with local law enforcement, conducted a full autopsy, and followed all of its procedures in coming to the determination of the manner of death as suicide. As the autopsy records are private under state law, we cannot provide details about what informed our conclusion. I can tell you that two pathologists went to the scene and reviewed the case, including Dr. Hartshorne and Dr. Donald Reay, then the chief medical examiner for King County. At the time of this case, Dr. Reay had been with the King County Medical Examiner’s Officer for 19 years with extensive experience prior to that. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is always open to revisiting its conclusions if new evidence comes to light, but we have seen nothing to date that would warrant re-opening the case and our previous determination of death. Thanks, James Apa Communications Director Public Health – Seattle & King County” After receiving the statement from Communications Director James Apa we requested copies of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office death investigation procedures from 1994, copies of any accreditation applications KCMEO submitted for 1994, and copies of any accreditation KCMEO possessed in 1994. King County Public Records Officer Julie Kipp responded on March 11, 2020: “I confirmed with the Medical Examiner’s Office that the documents you requested have been destroyed in accordance with retention schedules and therefore there are no responsive records.” In light of the lack of responsive records we asked on what King County based their statement that the Medical Examiner’s Office “followed all of its procedures.” Mr. Apa responded on March 19, 2020: “Based on knowledge of staff who were in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death, we know that the office’s procedures at that time were followed.” In the course of further correspondence regarding the current accreditation requirements for the King County Examiner’s Office, Public Records Officer Julie Kipp wrote on March 18, 2020: “We received only provisional accreditation this year related to the timeliness of receiving toxicology reports from the state lab. Cases are supposed to be cleared in no more than 90 days, but toxicology takes longer, due to a backlog at the state lab. We currently have equipment in house which we can use for preliminary results, but the office did not have that in 1994.” Between February 19, 2020 and February 27, 2020, we reached out to Seattle Police Department spokesperson Sean Whitcomb and Seattle mayor’s spokesperson Kamaria Hightower. We requested a brief phone interview with the Chief of Seattle Police Carmen Best, or a comment from SPD regarding our interview with Dr. Cyril Wecht. All of our four emails remain unanswered.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is in danger of losing its accreditation. This is because of a problem KIRO 7 first told you about last week: Washington State Patrol’s toxicology lab is dealing with a growing backlog of blood to process, and it’s taking months to get out results. KIRO 7’s Deedee Sun told you how the problem is impacting prosecutors’ ability to prosecute DUI suspects. The problem is impacting medical examiner offices too.

“Thank you for your message regarding the interview you conducted with Dr. Cyril Wecht. Your original request on February 12th did not make it to Dr. Harruff, and the other people you mention sending it to are not in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. I’m responding to your latest message on behalf of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, which is part of our public health department. As Dr. Wecht pointed out in the article, in order for him to review the autopsy report, Mr. Cobain’s next of kin would need to request the report from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, and forward it to him. This would be the same situation for any other pathologist or group of pathologists. At the time of this case, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office worked with local law enforcement, conducted a full autopsy, and followed all of its procedures in coming to the determination of the manner of death as suicide. As the autopsy records are private under state law, we cannot provide details about what informed our conclusion. I can tell you that two pathologists went to the scene and reviewed the case, including Dr. Hartshorne and Dr. Donald Reay, then the chief medical examiner for King County. At the time of this case, Dr. Reay had been with the King County Medical Examiner’s Officer for 19 years with extensive experience prior to that. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is always open to revisiting its conclusions if new evidence comes to light, but we have seen nothing to date that would warrant re-opening the case and our previous determination of death. Thanks, James Apa Communications Director Public Health – Seattle & King County” After receiving the statement from Communications Director James Apa we requested copies of the King County Medical Examiner’s Office death investigation procedures from 1994, copies of any accreditation applications KCMEO submitted for 1994, and copies of any accreditation KCMEO possessed in 1994. King County Public Records Officer Julie Kipp responded on March 11, 2020: “I confirmed with the Medical Examiner’s Office that the documents you requested have been destroyed in accordance with retention schedules and therefore there are no responsive records.” In light of the lack of responsive records we asked on what King County based their statement that the Medical Examiner’s Office “followed all of its procedures.” Mr. Apa responded on March 19, 2020: “Based on knowledge of staff who were in the King County Medical Examiner’s Office at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death, we know that the office’s procedures at that time were followed.” In the course of further correspondence regarding the current accreditation requirements for the King County Examiner’s Office, Public Records Officer Julie Kipp wrote on March 18, 2020: “We received only provisional accreditation this year related to the timeliness of receiving toxicology reports from the state lab. Cases are supposed to be cleared in no more than 90 days, but toxicology takes longer, due to a backlog at the state lab. We currently have equipment in house which we can use for preliminary results, but the office did not have that in 1994.” Between February 19, 2020 and February 27, 2020, we reached out to Seattle Police Department spokesperson Sean Whitcomb and Seattle mayor’s spokesperson Kamaria Hightower. We requested a brief phone interview with the Chief of Seattle Police Carmen Best, or a comment from SPD regarding our interview with Dr. Cyril Wecht. All of our four emails remain unanswered.
