CONDENSED SUMMARY OF EVENTS


Investigation into the death of Kurt Cobain by Tom Grant, Investigator, The Grant Company. 

This summary is not the report of this investigation. It was originally intended to serve as an outline to guide me through interviews with the media. It started out as one line sentences to remind me of details and events and gradually developed into it's current form.

The summary is updated and revised every few days as I find time to work on it and improve the presentaion of facts. It does not contain ALL of the details and information relating to this investigation. It merely highlights some of the events in brief comments so the reader might be better informed as to what transpired in April of 1994.

This limited information is not intended to PROVE that Kurt Cobain's death was the result of a murder. It simply lays some of the foundation for a much more detailed and complex case. More evidence will be presented at the proper time and place as the theory of suicide unravels and the truth regarding Kurt's death emerges.

PRIOR TO MY INVOLVEMENT

Courtney and Kurt had not been getting along. They'd been talking about divorce. Within weeks before Kurt died, Courtney called one of their attorneys, Rosemary Carroll and told Rosemary to get the meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer she could find.

Courtney also asked Rosemary if the prenuptial agreement could be voided.

Kurt called Rosemary too. He hadn't completed his will. He told Rosemary he wanted Courtney taken out of it.

Kurt did not want to tour or perform anymore. He was walking away from what Courtney said was a 9 1/2 million dollar contract to headline the Lollapalooza tour.

Courtney was angry at Kurt for the possible loss of of all those millions. Her anger wasn't working, so she tried to blame Kurt's attitude on his drug use and put together a so called " tough love intervention." Among others at the "intervention" were some of the junkies Kurt did drugs with.

Courtney claims she told Kurt, "This has got to end. You have to be a good daddy!" A somewhat pretentious statement from a woman who was doing drugs when we were first hired and continued her drug use during the next eight months. It's hard to believe Kurt could have taken this whole scene seriously.

MARCH 26TH, Courtney left Seattle for the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

MARCH 30th, Kurt and his best friend Dylan Carlson, purchased a shotgun. Kurt told Dylan he was afraid of intruders at the house. Walking out on the Lollapalooza tour was a business decision that would cost OTHERS a great deal of money also. I have reason to believe Kurt may have been intimidated into believing his life would be in danger if he failed to do the tour. The shotgun was a 20 gauge, set up for light load. This is what gun dealers often recommend for home protection because the shot won't penetrate walls and endanger those on the other side. Kurt took the shotgun to his house so it would be there when he got back from rehab. He THEN left Seattle to go to a rehab center in Marina Del Rey, Calif.
