Interesting........

Some things which need pointing out before you read this book...Kurt Cobain had 3 times the lethal dose of heroin (225 mgs) in his blood system. There were NO fingerprints on the shotgun, on the pen found with the "suicide" note, or the box of shotgun shells found beside Kurt. This indicates the crime scene was "swept" clean before the body was discovered. Eldon Hoke, singer of a band called the Mentors, claimed he was offered $50,000 by Courtney to kill Kurt in December 1993. On March 6, 1996, Hoke was administered a polygraph test by Dr. Edward Gelb, who is one of the country's leading polygraph experts and teaches the advanced polygraph course for the FBI. Hoke passed a lie detector test with 99.7% certainty that he was telling the truth. There is evidence that circumstances were manipulated to prevent Kurt from using his own car and gaining access to his own money in the days leading up to his death. Someone also attempted to use his credit card up until the morning of April 8th. Medical examiners determined Cobain had died on April 5th. A little suspicious? That is just a few examples of the inconsistencies found in the SPD's investigation. You may want to check out justiceforkurt.com were there is also a rebuttals section - insuring it isn't overly biased information you are reading. There is obviously a lot more involved in this whole saga than meets the eye. WKKC is the best book that has been written about the cobain case led by Private Investigator Tom Grant, to this day. A must read!

A MUST READ FOR ALL COBAIN FANS

This book is brilliant and easy to read. It covers the life of Kurt pretty well and it also really makes you think about how he died. Did Courtney have anything to do with his death? Well, after reading this great book I must admit that I've got every reason to think she has something to hide. Wether or not she killed him or got someone to kill him you have to decide yourself after reading the book. The book dosen't answear a lot of questions but it sure raises alot of them ! A MUST READ FOR ALL COBAIN FANS.

Kurt Donald Cobain - RIP

Ignore all the reviews here that give this book 1 star. They are cleary made by people who haven't read this book! Every point they make is covered in the book (eg. Courtney DID give interviews after his death... try the VERY NEXT DAY! Live on TV... Did she mention her album? Of course!)TRUE Nirvana fans would want to know the truth.I whole heartedly recommend reading this book. It is well researched and impartial. Please read it, it will open your mind.

An Extremely Interesting Read

Who Killed Kurt Cobain is an eerie investigation of the life of a legend. I found it very interesting to read about all the facts and opinions on Kurt's death. For fans of Courtney Love I am warning you that you may not enjoy what you read. The strange deaths and occurances have changed my opinion on how he died. This book is very well written and I even recommend it to people who aren't huge Nirvana fans. It will hold your interest tremendously.

EXCELLENT summary of facts regarding the death of Cobain

When I first heard a story that Kurt Cobain did not commit suicide but instead was murdered I found it implausible and ridiculous, not to mention sick. It must be some wacko's rantings. Everyone knows that Kurt killed himself, right? The disturbed personality, the suicide attempt in Rome, the note...After reading this book I am left feeling very disturbed that a terrible injustice has gone overlooked by today's media and society.This book first gives the story of Kurt's life, his phenomenal success and his marriage to Courtney Love. Then in a verifiable and coherent manner lays down an excellent case that Kurt's death was not the obvious suicide as it was portrayed in the media. It points out many unreported or misreported facts that dispute the cut-and-dried suicide theory. It also provides more than enough proof to seriously question the character and motives of Courtney Love.If you are at all interested in the facts about how Kurt died, and especially if you were affected personally by his words and music, I HIGHLY recommend it. The truth must come out.
