Kurt Cobain: Suicide or Homicide? The New Forensic Claims

In 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead in a room above the garage of
his Seattle home. Authorities ruled that he had died from a
self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. The case was closed as
a suicide.

But for more than 30 years, questions have lingered.

Now, a new independent team of forensic researchers has
re-examined Cobain’s autopsy and crime scene evidence.

They claim to have identified five key details - from blood
pattern analysis to toxicology findings - that they argue are
inconsistent with the official ruling.

Seattle Police continue to maintain that Cobain died by suicide.

In this special episode of The Trial: USA, we speak with retired
Seattle Police Captain Neil Low, who was serving on the force at
the time of Cobain’s death and has since reviewed the new
forensic report. He explains why the case is back in the
headlines, what the independent team says they’ve uncovered, and
why some now believe this was not a suicide, but a homicide.

We revisit the original investigation, examine the new claims,
and ask: after all these years, is this case truly closed?
