I’ve battled for years to prove Kurt Cobain didn’t kill himself – bombshell dossier now ‘shows’ I’m right

Author Summary

Researcher Rosemary Carroll has fought for decades to challenge the suicide ruling on Kurt Cobain's 1994 death, presenting a new 181-page dossier with ballistic, handwriting, and autopsy evidence suggesting murder via heroin overdose followed by a staged gunshot.

Key Claims in Dossier

New findings reference a leaked two-page-missing autopsy, full firearms analysis, and crime scene photos, arguing Cobain died from a forced heroin overdose before being shot and moved. Investigators claim blood patterns show post-mortem relocation on April 5, 1994, with the shooting staged for media impact.

Evidence Presentation

In a recent session, the team submitted the 181-page report to authorities, including new ballistic and handwriting proof contradicting suicide. They followed up with more ballistics to King County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. J. Matthew Lacy, pushing to reclassify death as "undetermined" and reopen the case.

Witness Account

Carroll obtained Cobain's autopsy and learned of witness Joe Burns, who says he saw three men drag Cobain into a greenhouse, followed by a gunshot 30 minutes later.

Official Response

Seattle PD's 2014 review by Detective Mike Ciesynski deemed theories "interesting" but upheld suicide, citing no contrary evidence. The Medical Examiner's Office confirmed receiving materials but stands by the suicide ruling after thorough autopsy, noting records are confidential.

Counterarguments

Cobain had stomach pain, a Rome overdose labeled suicide by his wife, a gun threat incident (where he denied suicidality), intervention for drugs, and two uncles who died by suicide. Carroll disputes depression, calls Rome accidental, and says stomach issues resolved.

“There’s no scenario where we will let this go. If we don’t receive a response, we will reach out again... Right now, we are optimistic.”
