The musical death(s) most popular for conspiracy theorists in the last few decades have been those of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, although things are about to heat up quite a bit for those who believe Kurt Cobain's death was more-murder-less-suicide. The Seattle Police Department has reopened the case, according to the city's KIRO 7 news team.
Don't get too excited yet, as there isn't any indication they've found anything damning. KIRO claims police developed four rolls of film from the case that had been in storage for nearly 20 years. Do those photos feature anything particularly alluring? We don't know. KIRO claims to have acquired at least one of the shots, and will air it Thursday on local television. The reopening of the case certainly doesn't have anything to do with admissions of guilt or anything juicy however. The rest of the photos are not due to be released to the public.
Cobain conspiracies aren't exactly new, even if they don't receive the same kind of hype as hip-hop's CIA/Illuminati-funded hits. A particularly detailed website titled JusticeForKurt.com lists a number of reasons why the Nirvana vocalist probably wasn't responsible for his own death, including: He apparently had three-times the lethal dose of heroin in his system at time of death, there were no fingerprints on the shotgun he killed himself with, plus a half-dozen or so theories on why and how Courtney Love had planned to kill her then husband. The site does clarify that rumors the Illuminati were after Cobain are false.
Regardless, this is most likely another eyebrow-raising piece of meaningless news. Interesting nonetheless.
UPDATE: The Seattle Times has confirmed that the Seattle Police Department did not actually reopen the Cobain case, but rather "reexamined." No new information was gathered and the case remains closed.
