Murder doesn't always need a motive when drug use is rampant in a household, but money is always a easy go to. Courtney has always been a bit deranged which she would stand to profit from his death absorbing all his wealth. Even that's pretty thin since she was still doing well herself but not quite as well as Nirvana was at their peak.

It's really hard to say so long after the fact. I'll continue to side on being skeptical about the whole thing.

No the fuck he wasn't. He was killed by Courtney Love.

The only kicker I have that keeps me from agreeing with that is his height in relation to the length of the gun. It was long by rifle standards and with the barrel in your mouth most wouldn't be able to reach the trigger with their hands. He wasn't a tall dude so no massive arm reach makes pulling with your toes a possibility if he didn't die with his shoes on.

I'm not saying it would be impossible because it's not just difficult and unlikely.

Don't know who would have murdered him but I don't believe it was suicide.

Yeah, no. I'm going to follow the money on this one. The person who had motive and opportunity to kill Cobain was Courtney Love herself. Just because she suffers from meth induced psychosis doesn't mean she gets a free pass. Although, she is still entitled to her pussy pass, so she gets out jail that way.

Exactly right. Courtney was afraid Kurt would leave her and deprive her of his fortune. She started the rumor that Kurt had a shotgun and was depressed, whereas in reality his friends said he was in a better place than he had been in some time and was looking forward to spending time with his daughter. Kurt even referenced all the talk about the shotgun in the lyrics, "No I don't have a gun"...
