A recently released documentary about the life and death of Nirvana front man and grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain has raised some possible conspiracy theories about his death. In the film titled 'Soaked in Bleach' Norm Stamper, who was the Seattle Chief of Police at the time of Cobain's passing, says he would reopen the investigation if he were still in charge today.
Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home from a gunshot wound 1994. It was officially ruled as a Suicide.
Speaking with Spin Magazine, Stamper says:
"We should in fact have taken steps to study patterns involved in the behavior of key individuals who had a motive to see Kurt Cobain dead, if in fact Kurt Cobain was murdered, as opposed to having committed suicide, and it was possible to learn that, shame on us for not doing that. That was in fact our responsibility."
"It's about right and wrong. It's about honour. It's about ethics," he added. "If we didn't get it right the first time, we damn well better get it right the second time, and I would tell you right now if I were the Chief of Police, I would reopen this investigation."
Cobain's suicide has long been the subject of discussion for fans, who believe the singer may have been murdered.
Long after his death, Cobain's tragic passing still continues to draw the interest of filmmakers. 'Soaked in Bleach' comes hot on the heels of HBO's own Cobain centered documentary entitled "Montage of Heck'. However 'Bleach' is an unauthorized documentary made without the blessing of Cobain's estate. His widow Courtney Love recently issued cease-and-desist letters to theaters planning to air the film.
