Explosive new evidence suggests Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was indeed murdered — something Globe readers have known since 2016!
Authorities ruled the 27-year-old grunge god killed himself with a shotgun blast to the head in his Seattle home on April 5, 1994.
But now a bombshell new forensic report indicates Kurt died of a drug overdose dressed up to look like suicide, according to Daily Mail.
We exclusively reported forensic and medical evidence proved it was impossible for Kurt to have turned the gun on himself.
A Globe probe found Kurt had three times the lethal amount of heroin in his system — and the shell ejected from the shotgun that killed Kurt landed to the left of his body despite the weapon’s exit chamber facing to the right.

A Globe investigation in 2023 also found Kurt’s widow, “Hole” singer Courtney Love, had a motive to kill her husband — when 30-plus hours of secretly recorded chats show Kurt had asked the couple’s lawyer to nix Courtney from his $50 million estate just weeks before his death!
Last August, Globe partnered with two handwriting experts — as well as Utah-based private eye Jason Jensen — to report on disturbing irregularities in Kurt’s alleged suicide note.

Now the peer-reviewed forensic report — authored by a group of independent gumshoes including famed investigator Bryan Burnett — supports Globe‘s finding that Kurt was murdered.
The report notes the official autopsy found fluid in Cobain’s lungs, bleeding in his eyes and damage to his brain and liver, which are far more consistent with a drug overdose than gunshot suicide.

Their findings also note how Cobain — despite the massive amount of heroin in his system — neatly capped his syringes and placed his drug kit to the side before allegedly shooting himself.
He also conveniently had receipts for the shells and shotgun in his pocket at the time he allegedly pulled the trigger.
“To me, it looks like someone staged a movie and wanted you to be absolutely certain this was a suicide,” says Michelle Wilkins, a researcher on the investigative team.
Meanwhile, the King County medical examiner stood by its original 1994 suicide ruling, with a rep saying, “Our office is always open to revisiting its conclusions if new evidence comes to light, but we’ve seen nothing to date that would warrant re-opening of this case and our previous determination of death.”
