Countering The Cobain Case

Cobain's dead body was found in the greenhouse of his Lake Washington house on 8th April 1994. It is estimated that he died on 5th April 1994. On 3rd April 1994, Courtney Love hired Tom Grant, a private investigator, to find who was using Cobain's missing credit card. Well, that was the initial reason she gave to hire Grant but then she tasked him to find Cobain who was said to have left rehab and was missing. Courtney allowed the bank to give transaction records of the missing credit card to Tom Grant. Grant observed that transactions were made between 5th April 1994 to 8th April 1994, the days Cobain was lying dead in his greenhouse. The question now is who was using the credit card? Grant assumes the card was stolen by the murderer after they killed Cobain and between 5th to 8th of April 1994 the murderer used the credit card. Now the first thing I want to say is that even before Cobain died his credit card was reported to be stolen and therefore it shouldn't come as a s

The idea that 1.52mg per liter of morphine in blood indicates that Cobain was given three times the lethal dose of heroin comes from the book Heroin Addiction by Jerome J. Platt. It is claimed that the author wrote in the book that the maximum lethal dose of heroin is 75mg for a 150 pound man which would result in 0.5mg per liter of morphine in blood. I was curious to know what all these people who quote this idea have learned from the book. These people include Tom Grant, Dr. Cyril Wecht, Max Wallace and Ian Halperin. I bought a physical copy of the book. It was imported from US.  Front of the book. Just to clarify that I got the right book, here is the author's name. The one I have is the second edition which was published in 1986. This is the edition mentioned by Max Wallace and Ian Halperin in their books Who Killed Kurt Cobain? and Love and Death. I finished reading the book recently and nowhere did I find the book quote that 75mg of heroin is the maxim

I know a lot of people get surprised when I tell them that 1ml is equal to 1,000mg or 1g. Some people even think that I am crazy and that either I am mistaken or just making stuff up. I am not making it up. It is true that 1ml is equal to 1,000mg. Well, more or less. A 1ml syringe can hold up to 1,000mg or 1g of heroin dose. Depending on the density of the liquid, the purity of the black tar heroin and whether water was used to make the dose or not, a 1ml syringe can contain heroin within the range of 30mg to 990mg.  If you have observed your surroundings then you will find examples which proves that 1ml = 1,000mg or 1g. I guess some people will rather believe in their surroundings rather than someone they suspect is working for Courtney (I don't work for her. Nor is she paying me for anything. I am doing all of this out of my own free will.). One example is the tablespoon.  Do not worry. That is salt not heroin. I believe this example is readily available in every household. One t

The Seattle Police would usually quote drug tolerance to explain the alleged high amount of morphine found in Cobain's body. So what is drug tolerance? What is drug tolerance? Drug tolerance is a pharmacological concept where repeated and frequent use of a specific drug creates a tolerance which prevents the drug to activate. When a person has a high drug tolerance regular doses of the drug will not work on them. They will need to increase the amount of the dose to receive the desired effects of the drug. Alternatively, abstaining and substituting the drug can decrease the drug tolerance and this is one way to consume the drug without having to increase the dose amount. Some people mistake drug tolerance to mean a person's limit to how much drug they can take without getting overdosed. That is not what drug tolerance means. Passing through drug tolerance does not lead to an overdose. Rather it only leads to the drug to activate and perform its effects. What is drug overdose? D
