The Syringes in the Box

It's been a while.

I have written about this on this post a few years ago and decided to write about it here in detail. 

At the scene where Cobain's body was found there was a box. The box contained black tar heroin, a spoon, two syringes and other drug paraphernalia. In 2014, the Seattle police developed photos from unused rolls of film. Below is one of photos that was developed. It is about the box I mentioned.

The Seattle police claim that Cobain used the syringes found in the box to take heroin shortly before ending his life. They found two fresh puncture marks on the insides of his elbows indicating that he took two shots of heroin before he died. Some conspiracy theorists have noticed the syringes look clean and unused. They suspect that Cobain was given heroin by the murderer who used another syringe. I heard that the Seattle police countered this allegation by claiming that Cobain cleaned them before placing them back in the box.

When I first found this image, I zoomed in to get a better look at the syringes. My phone displayed a poor quality of the image and it blurred when I zoomed in. Later I got a new phone and now I am able to see it clearly. I agree with the fans and theorists who say that the syringes look unused. I doubt Cobain used them. It looks perfectly clean as if new or unused. Personally I think he took heroin in a different location. I estimate he took heroin between 6 to 24 hours before he died (Read this to learn why.). It's even possible that the last time he took heroin was between 40 to 48 hours before his death.

Therefore, I don't agree with the Seattle police's statement that Cobain took his own life within a few minutes after taking heroin. It's more likely he took his own life hours after taking the drug. He was reported to have been seen at a restaurant on 3rd April 1994. This is the last reported sighting of him which is credible. We don't know where he was on 4th April 1994. He's estimated to have died on 5th April 1994.

The main point I am trying to make is that there is a possibility that Cobain took heroin at a different location from where his body was discovered and the syringes found in the box were not used by him to take heroin. This is why the syringes are clean. They weren't used.

Review of Heroin Addiction by Jerome J. Platt

Image
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 ...

Is the Conspiracy Theory Exploiting Kurt's death?

There's a common argument among the Nirvana fans that I come across. The argument is about how the supporters of the conspiracy theory are exploiting the death of Kurt Cobain to make money for themselves. Some fans deny that they are exploiting his death, claiming their main goal is to deliver justice. I decided to write my thoughts about this argument. In my personal opinion if you sincerely have a doubt about his death then you can take action to reopen the case. Having a desire to reopen the case is not exploitation because you are not making money from it. However, if you claim to have evidence that can prove the conspiracy theory and you will only share it if people buy your books or become a paid member of your website/channel then that is an act of exploitation. This is not helping the Cobain Case at all. If you genuinely want the case to reopen then you should present the police of the evidence you acquired. And yes, you can share the evidence in public (if it is permitted)...

The Missing Credit Card

Image
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...
