Kurt Cobain's death 'was a homicide': report

Looks like the medical examiners looking into this found alot of issues with the suicide determination! One main issue to me is no blood on his hand which he used to hold the barrel of the shotgun. No blood on his hand nor the area of the shotgun so if he was holding it there would be blood. Also he had the receipt for the gun and ammo in his pockets with the shells lined at his feet! How convenient!

It always seemed suspicious. There was a guy that said Courtney Love had tried to hire hm to kill Kurt and then the guy was hit by a train if I remember right.
