Cali later claimed he informed Courtney on Saturday, April 2nd, that Kurt had been to the house earlier that morning.”(Soaked in Bleach Tom Grant).
-This quote is evidence that supports the idea that Courtney may have misdirected the whole investigation if she knew Cobain had been seen at the lake house.

Karmen is a 50-year-old married who told her psychiatrist that she was considering suicide through overdosing on Advil. She complains of severe back pain that has left her with a “poor mood”. She talked about the injury for a long period of time. When doctors did not validate her injury, she described feeling abandoned. Karmen had gained weight and was upset about that. She did not take making suicidal comments seriously and often just used them as a threat towards her husband. She craved the attention of the doctors, and was flirtatious with the person who interviewed her. Karmen’s husband said that she talked about suicide on a regular basis. Karmen became sexually active early in life and has always gone for older men.
When a death occurs suddenly, unexpectedly and from unnatural or unknown causes, a forensic scientist has the duty to gather and analyze evidence to determine whether the victim died from a previously undiagnosed disease or infection or from a homicide, suicide or accident (Lurigio, 2009). When considering suicide as the probable cause of death, we are looking at the act of intentionally killing oneself through one’s own effort or with the assistance of another (Sever, 2009). The resolution of the manner of death by a forensic pathologist as suicide is based on a series of factors which eliminate natural causes of death, homicide and accident (Geberth, 2013, p.55). The cause of death is also determined by the medical examiner in conjunction with the crime scene investigator; however, it can only be determined after a thorough investigation is concluded. Therefore, in the complicated process of doing a death investigation there are several mistakes that should be avoided, which are discussed in Geberth’s article, Seven Mistakes in Suicide Investigation (2013). Mistakes in doing any death investigation affect the integrity of the evidence in determining the cause of death and in its admissibility in court.
Kurt Cobain was the legendary lead singer of arguably one of the most influential bands in recent history, Nirvana. He was born February 20th 1967 and committed suicide in his Seattle home on April 5th 1994. (No he didn’t, Courtney Love totally killed him but that’s just a theory and also beside the point of this paper.) When Kurt Cobain committed “suicide” he was found with a shotgun shot to the face and over three times the lethal dosage of heroin in his system. His sudden death shocked the country and people still visit the site of the “suicide” today.

The famous Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her bed but was it suicide? It was a murder that was unsolved at the time of the death and spread through the news to become one of the most talked about murder mysteries. Was it really a mystery?

“On March 5th , 1994 Cobain was rushed to the hospital in a coma after an unsuccessful suicide bid in which he washed down about fifty prescription painkillers with champagne” (Ronson, 1996). The attempt was not made known to many people.
Marilyn was thriving at the time of her death. She recently started a new movie and was awarded for her acting ability. This is inconsistent with the findings of suicidal behaviors. Often, people with a bright future do not have a high risk of committing suicide. The theory of suicide is also discredited by the lack of evidence leading to this conclusion. There was no pill residue in Marilyn’s stomach and no glass of water found at the crime scene. Murray’s flawed story about how she found Marilyn’s body, the delay in calling the police, the maid cleaning during the crime scene investigation, and the mysterious disappearance of the drug tests proves that there was a cover-up. This suspicious behavior along with the debunked suicide theory leads to the conclusion that Marilyn Monroe was murdered. Although the killer is unknown, people that are knowledgeable about the Monroe case speculate that the Kennedy brothers, the Mafia, or Marilyn’s doctor killed her for various reasons. Marilyn’s mysterious death leaves fans with far more questions than answers; yet, with the indisputable evidence, it is apparent that the tragic death of Marilyn Monroe was a murder in the first
...drug abuse carried on through his teenage and adult years when he met Courtney Love. Love influenced Kurt's drug habits, and by the end of their first year of marriage, they were spending up to $400 dollars per day on heroin (Gracie 33). By March 3rd, 1994, Kurt had made his personal problems collide with publicity when he made his first suicide attempt in Rome with champagne and rohypnol pills (Gracie 40). By purposely overdosing on an illegal date rape narcotic, Kurt had made his suicidal tendencies public. And on the 5th of April, Kurt barricaded himself in the upstairs of his garage with a stool, loaded up on heroin, and tragically shot himself in the head with a shotgun ("Justice For Kurt"). As a result of his poor judgment, an egotistical personality, and suicidal tendencies, Kurt Cobain not only murdered himself, but the popular world of Grunge music forever.
Can you single out just one day from your past that you can honestly say changed your life forever? I know I can. It was a typical January day, with one exception; it was the day the Pope came to St. Louis. My brother and I had tickets to the youth rally, and we were both very excited. It was destined to be an awesome day- or so we thought. The glory and euphoria of the Papal visit quickly faded into a time of incredible pain and sorrow, a time from which I am still emerging.

Suicide, it's not pretty. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's the
Often times when I heard the word "suicidal" I was curiously caused the person to do it. Growing up, I heard that people decided to commit suicide was because they "wanted attention, they wanted the easy way out, they were weak, they couldn't handle life, etc." Personally, I have significant people in my life that have felt like they wanted to commit suicide. So, this topic honestly is a difficult, yet, emotional one to discuss.
