The grunge movement was one of the greatest musical movements of all time, led primarily by the Seattle four: Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. As far as commercial success goes, it was Nirvana who really brought grunge to the forefront, from performances on Saturday Night Live, to their legendary MTV Unplugged recording, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Kurt Cobain owned the '90s.
Though the trio all took to the spotlight, it was vocalist Cobain who really shined throughout the band's tenure. His gritty appearance and the raw throatiness with which he sang really endeared him to fans, who had never really seen a frontman quite like him. Cobain was the heart and soul of Nirvana, and his 1994 passing left a gaping hole in the music industry at large. At age 27, Cobain's death was ruled a suicide. Over 30 years after the singer's death, however, private forensics experts looked over the case a second time, and have come away believing that perhaps Cobain's death may not have been a suicide after all. Private Forensics Experts Believe Kurt Cobain's Death Could Have Been A Homicide In April 1994, Kurt Cobain's body was found in his apartment, alongside a suicide note addressed to his childhood imaginary friend detailing how he had lost interest in the things that had once given his life meaning. From the day his death was confirmed, it has been widely understood that his cause of death was suicide from a self-inflicted shotgun wound. Recently, a private sector forensic team was reviewing evidence, and brought in forensic specialist Brian Burnett, who specialized in cases of overdoses and gunshot wounds. Burnett has done well for himself in his field, earning numerous awards and accolades that suggest he really is an expert in the field. According to the Daily Mail, Burnett spent just three days reviewing evidence before concluding,"This is a homicide. We've got to do something about this." He brings up some interesting points, including a lack of blood splatter on Cobain's hands and the fact that the heroin syringes were capped and organized after his supposed overdose, suggesting that the scene was a bit too clean for it to have been the result of a suicide.

Burnett and his fellow forensic scientists have compiled a fair amount of information that they hope will be enough to reopen the case of Cobain's death. However, after more than 30 years, it's difficult to say anything for certain one way or another. Old wounds are sure to be reopened by this conspiracy surrounding one of the most tragic musical deaths in recent history, whether it is further investigated or not.
