Just a theory


Haven't seen this movie yet, so only have read about this case.

There's a line in the song Tourettes on In Utero album - "One more year to go of my life"

There's the emotional performance of "In the Pines" on Unplugged.

The entire In Utero album comes across as the work of someone in extreme emotional inner turmoil, more so than their other albums.

Anyway - my theory is the guy was ashamed at being a junkie and a father, horrified at the thought of his marriage failing, because of how divorce impacted him, and just couldn't deal with life anymore.

He wrote the first part of the letter, shot himself up with a giant dose of heroin hoping it would finish him off, but it didn't, then he added the part in the bad handwriting at the end of his letter and thats why it looks different, he then decided to finish the job with the shotgun. Kind of how HITLER took a cyanide capsule and shot himself at the same time.

He probably had a tolerance to the high dose of heroin from years of abuse.


Just my theory from what I know about Kurt, Nirvana, and the case.

He probably had a high tolerance

It's was obviously cl and that is why she has so many mental problems now

I agree with you OP.

Really thinking about it, almost the entire In Utero album has suicidal references to it

Track 1:
I tried hard to have a father, but instead I had a dad...I just want you to know that I don't hate you anymore...there is nothing I could say that I haven't thought before

Track 2:
I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms

Track 3:
Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left in black...throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Track 5:
I miss the comfort in being sad

Track 7:
Out of the ground, into the sky, out of the sky, into the dirt

Track 8:
Look on the bright side of suicide

Track 9:
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld, so I can sigh eternally

Track 10:
What is wrong with me

Track 11:
One more year to go of my life (indiscernible)

Track 12:
What else should I be...all apologies

Having someone killed doesn't cause mental problems. Having a *beep* up brain does. She didn't have him killed. This doc is one-sided as *beep*

I have also not seen this movie, nor do I intend to. I've read some of the reviews though to get a perspective.

Re your post about the suicidal lyrics. He also had/have a song called "I hate myself and I want to kill myself." Which was also meant to be the title of the album, but they changed it.

The last photo shoot of the band in France in 1994 sees him holding a gun in his mouth, if that's not giving an indication of what was to come then I don't know.

The fact that Grant dismisses Kurt for not being suicidal is one of the reasons that I don't believe his theory.

There was no evidence that Kurt was actually suicidal, unless you asked Courtney Love. The only indication that Kurt may have been suicidal came directly from Courtney Love herself and no one else. It was all based on her allegations.

Other people close to Kurt did not think he was suicidal.

What you suggest is frankly impossible.
The dose of heroin he was injected with would have incapacitated him almost immediately as it entered his bloodstream. Even the most robust junkie could not remain conscious or survive the dose that Cobain had in his system that night.

Kind of how HITLER took a cyanide capsule and shot himself at the same time.


A capsule injested orally will take longer to enter the bloodstream, giving the person a short period of time to shoot himself, write a quick suicide note, etc.

Heroin injected directly into the bloodstream acts immediately.

He probably had a tolerance to the high dose of heroin from years of abuse.


Correct.
But the amount injected into his system that night would have been too much for any chronic junkie to survive, let alone remain conscious to write a suicide note or shoot himself.

I think you're reading too much into his lyrics.
