FBI Was Asked To Investigate Kurt Cobain's Cause Of Death, Unknown Person Wanted 'Justice'

Kurt Cobain's 10-page file was released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in April and it includes two messages from individuals asking the agency to reopen the case as a murder investigation.

The FBI has long received correspondence regarding the death of the Nirvana singer. In the new release, both a letter and an email in 2006 from two unknown individuals explaining that his case needs to be reopened as a homicide, not a suicide, due to speculation from the media and fans who believe the details surrounding his death don't add up, have been made available to the public.

“Millions of fans around the world would like to see the inconsistencies surrounding the death cleared up for once and for all,” the email in the file states, as reported by Rolling Stone. “It is sad to think that an injustice of this nature can be allowed in the United States.”

“Your recent communication to Attorney General Janet Reno expressing your belief that Kurt Cobain was murdered has been referred to the FBI for reply,” the official stated. “Based on the limited information you provided, we are unable to justify any violation of federal law within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI. We are, therefore, unable to take any investigative action in this case.”

The 27-year-old was found dead at his Seattle home in 1994 with a gunshot wound to the head. A shotgun was found lying next to him. The authorities also found a suicide note next to his body, so authorities labeled his cause of death as such.

These letters and responses regarding the case can be found and read online through the FBI’s “Vault” section.
