and the heroin paraphernalia neatly back into a cigar box a few feet away, rolled down and buttoned his sleeves, then picked up a Remington 20-gauge shotgun, placed it in his mouth and discharged it.

The drug Diazepam (Valium) was also found in Cobain's blood system. (A drug that is known to aggravate heroin, and makes an overdose that much worse.) The question remains as to why Cobain would shoot himself after taking a triple lethal dose, which clearly would have been more than enough to cause death instantly. A triple overdose, followed by shooting yourself not only doesn't make sense, but also is impossible according to the medical experts.

Reason #3
No Evidence of Suicide on Gun

He was scared for his life! The Remington Model 11 shotgun is a very light shotgun that dealers recommend for home protection, because the shot won't penetrate walls and endanger those on the other side. It was not purchased for a suicide. It was purchased for protection. It was also purchased prior to his entry into the drug rehab clinic, not after he left it.

According to the police report, there were no "legible" fingerprints on the shotgun (which some sources say indicate the gun had been wiped or cleaned), none on the pen found with the "suicide" note, or the box of shotgun shells found beside Kurt. How can you write a note, load up a shotgun with 3 shells, and shoot yourself without leaving any fingerprints on anything?

On March 4th 1994 in Rome, when he was on the verge of leaving Courtney and the tour he was on, he was suddenly hospitalized with these substances in his body. Many believe this was the first, failed, murder attempt as both Michael DeWitt and Courtney Love were also in that hotel room in Rome. By some miracle, Kurt survived the combination of Rohypnol and Alcohol, and told everyone, including the doctors that it was not a suicide attempt. Kurt also mentioned that he could not remember what had happened to cause the coma.

This is a common side effect of Rohypnol, better known as the "date rape drug" or "roofies". At the time, Rohypnol was a colorless, odorless drug, which dissolved quickly into drinks, including water, and induced amnesia (loss of memory) when abused. The prescription
