On the 8th of April 1994 Kurt Cobain the lead singer of the band Nirvana was found dead in his home in Seattle, USA. Electrician Gary Smith found him with a shotgun wound to the face and he had taken a massive overdose of heroin at about 9:00 am that morning. It was believed that Kurt had died around about the 4th or 5th of April.

Suspicions first arose questioning whether Kurt actually did commit suicide when Rosemary Carroll, a lawyer and good friend of both Kurt and his wife, Courtney Love spoke out about how suspicions of Kurt's death being a murder and that Kurt had once told her he wasn't suicidal.

A private investigator that worked for Courtney Love called Tom Grant decided to look further into these claims and after 8 months of searching for evidence, collecting statements and doing a lot of research Grant came to the conclusion that Kurt Cobain was murdered.

When Grant had searched the house he noticed that Hewitt had left his TV on and his bed unmade almost as if he had left in a hurry. Hewitt had left the house that day with out Grant even seeing him.

However Grant thought it might have been a fake letter made out so Grant would think that Hewitt had trying to be in contact with Kurt.

The next day was the day Kurt was found dead. Grant had heard on the radio that Kurt's body was found in the greenhouse. Grant asked Carlson why they never searched there and Carlson replied, "It's just a dirty little room. I think they keep some lumber in there or something." Grant also found out that Kurt's credit cards had been stopped that morning which he found weird as Kurt must have been dead at least three days by then.

The events leading up to Kurt's death and the mysterious way of which Kurt died all pointed towards the suggestion that Kurt Cobain was intentionally killed. Grant also came to a conclusion that Courtney
