I didn’t go to the scene when Kurt Cobain killed himself.
I was in the office when the call came in. Nobody who was going on the call knew who Kurt Cobain was, but he was a rock star, so they responded to the scene as they would a homicide.
Who knew what a cluster it would become.
Over the years, I became involved in the case a little bit. I’ve seen the evidence and photographs, spoken to the Chief Medical Examiner about the case and gone over details very closely.
It was an obvious suicide. Not even a close call.
Recently I was interviewed by Gary James of classisrock.com about Cobain’s death.
You can read that interview here.

In my work as a Homicide Detective, I worked closely with Medicolegal Death Investigators. They were a great help to me, and I count many as close personal friends. They are professionals with a lot of training and steely countenance, but are greatly under-appreciated. But not by me.
