Latest News about Kurt Cobain
Seattle's Office of Police Accountability reportedly became involved in a new police probe into Cobain's 1994 death, which may revive doubts about the official suicide ruling. The move followed earlier claims by independent researchers that the death was a homicide. Local officials have so far maintained the suicide finding.
A private team of forensic specialists, including researcher Michelle Wilkins, published a report arguing that Cobain's death was a staged homicide and asked for the case to be reopened. The team cited concerns about the autopsy findings, the condition of his hand and the placement of the shotgun. The Seattle Police Department and the King County Medical Examiner's Office rejected the theory, and the death remains officially classified as a suicide.
