The fact that the autopsy report has never been released and publicly examined by independent experts is another reason that conspiracy theorists question the manner of death. law also restricts the medical examiner from commenting on autopsy reports. A spokesperson for the King County Medical Examiner explained to Crimesider that Wash. The report also summarizes previously released information from the Medical Examiner's autopsy report, although the actual autopsy report has never been made public per Washington State law. Ciesynski, who says in the report he "knew very little about (Cobain) or his band Nirvana" at the time of Cobain's death, also explains he "read numerous articles and watched several documentaries on the death of Kurt Cobain." all of the remaining evidence from SPD Evidence," photographs of the death scene, the autopsy report, and the autopsy and toxicology report, as well as interviews with the Chief Medical Examiner, and one of the original case detectives now retired. Ciesynski's review, according to the report, included examining "the case file from SPD records vault. If the receiver was facing up, then in that position the shell would have ejected in the direction of Cobain's right arm rather than his left, leading conspiracy theorists to surmise a staged suicide scene.ĭet. The weapon probably pivoted when fired, and fell to the present position."Ĭonspiracy theorists have long questioned why the ejected shell casing was found beyond Cobain's left arm - a picture of the victim's left arm was also recently released for the first time by SPD - when as the SPD report states "the Remington 20 gauge shotgun was lying on victim's chest with the receiver facing up." The Armorer concluded that the "fired round would have ejected in the direction where it was found and the second round probably malfunctioned due to victim holding the barrel. The detective explains that he consulted with an SPD Range Armorer, an expert in maintaining and operating firearms, showing him "a photo of victim (Cobain) holding the weapon" but did not identify the victim to the expert. "I was aware that for the casing to have landed to the victims (sic) left, the weapon would have had to been turned 180 degrees from what it was found." "As a homicide detective I have an obligation to preserve evidence that I believe may lose its value due to decay," Ciesynski explains in the report justifying his decision to develop the film now.Ĭiesynski notes that his review of the newly developed 35 mm film indicated that "a spent yellow shell casing lying on a coat at the right side of the photo " (beyond Cobain's left arm, or to the left side of his prostrate body). Last month Crimesider first published 30 of these never-before-seen photos which had sat for 20 years in the SPD evidence room undeveloped. Ciesynski explicitly details an SPD theory of how Cobain fired the shotgun, and reveals that recently developed 35 mm SPD film taken at the scene of the death helped him to make this determination. According to the report the receipt for $6.95 dated April 2, 1994, was also inside that paper bag.Ī close look at the photo reveals the sticker mentioned in the report on top of the box of shotgun shells on which is printed "Seattle Guns" and the price of the shells, "$6.95."Īlso, for the first time, Det. The SPD always believed it was Cobain who took the taxi cab on April 2, 1994, and that he killed himself with the shotgun either later that day or the following day, unable to pinpoint a time of death because the body was discovered days later.įor the first time only weeks ago, SPD released a photo of those shotgun shells inside a paper bag next to Cobain's foot and his purple Converse All Star sneaker. Ciesynski's determination that Cobain purchased the shotgun shells within one or two days of his death appears to suggest a person planning a suicide, more than it might the coincidence of Cobain buying the shells that a conspirator ultimately used to kill him in a planned, staged suicide. The cab driver dropped this person off in the area of 145 th and Aurora."Ĭiesynski's new report explains that Seattle Guns was located just south of 145 th and Aurora.Ĭonspiracy theorists like Grant insist that a conspirator fired the weapon that killed Cobain, questioning his ability to do so after taking such a large dose of heroin, and questioning Cobain's will to commit suicide.ĭet. This male advised the cab driver that he wanted to find a place to buy some bullets since he had recently been burglarized. In that report "it was noted that a Gray Top Taxi picked up a male from the Cobain residence on the morning of 4-2-94.
