Kurt Cobain’s 1994 Death Alleged Homicide by Private Forensic Team
A private forensic team alleges homicide, citing staged scene and heroin overdose inconsistencies, while official Seattle police and medical examiners maintain suicide ruling.
- On Nov. 6, 2025, a private forensics team published a study in the International Journal of Forensic Sciences concluding Kurt Cobain was a homicide victim, contradicting the SPD.

- Researchers propose that the report reconstructs the scene, with a team saying the body was moved by two persons to the greenhouse at Cobain's Seattle home, and the paper shared confidentially for peer review.

- Nearly 32 years after his April 8, 1994 death, FBI archival releases and a 2006 letter noting no fingerprints have kept public scrutiny alive, while Neil Low, retired Seattle police captain, urges reopening amid renewed debate from fans and independent investigators.
