Hank Harrison - Soaked in Bleach / Books The Dead : A social
history of the Haight-Ashbury experience
February 22

From the archives the late Hank Harrison joined Ed Opperman to talk
about the murder of Kurt Cobain. Why is no one taking his evidence
forward?

Hank Harrisonis a writer and researcher whose special areas of
interest spread widely across a plethora of subjects, but unlike
many other researchers, this hasn’t dulled his attention to detail
in any of them.

The father of Courtney Love, he talks candidly to Ed Opperman about
his estranged daughters’ relationship with Nirvana frontman Kurt
Cobain. Cobain had a troubled life suffering from depression and
the pressures of being the lead in one of the most iconic bands of
the 1990s.

Cobain died on April 5, 1994, and was found dead in his
Denny-Blaine, Seattle homewith gunshot wounds. Cobain had
previously been discharged from hospital and also received visits
from Seattle PD as a matter of being a danger to himself. Calls
requested from his wife, Courtney Love.

Harrison details a story of twists and turns, of half-truths and
outright lies that made up the investigation into the singers death
and the ramifications that followed; he makes his case, as he does
in his book, that Courtney Love had a great deal more to do with
the tragedy than either the law or the mainstream media would
report.

In an almost bizarre symmetry, Denny-Blaine, Seattle is also known
as ‘Harrison’.

Hank Harrison died in February 2022 with the case still
reverberating across the decades. Perhaps we will never know the
truth of the matter. But we can, with Hank’s legacy of research,
make an educated guess.

Soaked in Bleach is a 2015 American docudrama directed by Benjamin
Statler, who co-wrote and produced it with Richard Middelton and
Donnie Eichar.The film details the events leading up to the death
of Kurt Cobain, as seen through the perspective of Tom Grant
