Recent findings from an independent forensic investigation assert that Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, was murdered rather than having died by suicide, as concluded by the initial police probe in 1994. The investigation was spearheaded by Michelle Wilkins, a fan of Nirvana, and the leader of a group called 'Who Killed Kurt?', that seeks justice for Cobain. This new perspective challenges the long-held belief that Cobain's death was self-inflicted, based on analysis of crime scene materials and autopsy reports.

The forensic team's findings indicate that Cobain might have been incapacitated due to a heroin overdose prior to his death. Autopsy results allegedly show signs of brain and liver necrosis that Wilkins claims are indicative of an overdose, which would imply that he was not capable of committing suicide at the time of death. The assertion is that the crime scene might have been staged to appear as a suicide.

The implications of these findings are significant, as they reignite discussions around Cobain's death, bringing forth questions about the integrity of the original investigation. If substantiated, such claims could lead to a re-evaluation of the circumstances surrounding his death and possibly call for a deeper investigation into the events of that fateful day in Seattle.
