(March 3, 2009) — “Check the greenhouse,” Kurt Cobain’s wife Courtney Love said to his best friend Dylan Carlson over the phone on April 7, 1994. She was calling from Los Angeles, where she says she was away on business. According to private investigator Tom Grant, who had been hired by Love to keep an eye on Kurt, soon after that she called an electrician to install security lights on that same greenhouse. This very electrician discovered Cobain’s body the next day. This is one of the many coincidences in the events surrounding the death of Nirvana’s front man. Some choose to accept these coincidences and call the case closed, while others believe Cobain’s death was murder. “I’ve never really been sure about it,” senior Alvin Valencia said. “There just isn’t enough information.” Many of the facts surrounding the case do point to his death being a suicide; but there is just as much evidence of foul play. A week before his death, Cobain overdosed on a combination of Alcohol and Rohypnol in Rome, Italy. Love later insisted that this was his first suicide attempt. Grant insists, however, that the Rohypnol was purchased by Love when they first arrived, and the alcohol was champagne that Cobain drank after being seen by witnesses leaving his hotel for a night out. A few days after Cobain returned to Seattle, Love called the local police from their home and told them that Kurt was suicidal and had locked himself in a room with a gun. When police arrived, however, Cobain’s guns were all put away, and he insisted that he had locked himself in the room to hide from Love. Upon police questioning, Love admitted that Cobain never said he was suicidal and she had not seen him with a gun. One might ask why Love would want to kill her husband; what did she have to gain? “I think he killed himself, and I think it’s foolish to say she [Love] killed him,” junior Emily De Rosa said. “I think they loved each other, even though it was a very dysfunctional relationship.” Whether or not she did kill him is up to interpretation, but the facts are these: Cobain had his will changed to exclude Love the previous month, but hadn’t yet signed the final papers to make the document official when he died. “I believe that it’s definitely possible that Love killed him,” senior Erin Mooney said. “The evidence is circumstantial, but it fits.” Courtney stated in an interview that Cobain had given her a note saying he wanted a divorce while they were in Rome. In other words, Kurt Cobain had built up a lot of money by playing in Nirvana that she would soon have no claim to. In the end, the one question one must answer when forming an opinion on Cobain’s death is this: “Did Courtney Love want Kurt Cobain dead?” There are many facts surrounding this case, but nearly all of the evidence that would point to his being murdered is circumstantial. In a court of law, that’s not enough to prove someone is guilty. It is for this reason that the mystery of Kurt Cobain’s death is still around, and will probably be around for quite some time.
