Private investigator, Tom Grant, believed Kurt was coerced by his wife, Courtney Love, into his untimely suicide (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). She was vastly involved in Kurt’s life and the events and circumstances surrounding his death (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). Many conspiracy theories began to suspect her due to her controlling nature and jealous tendencies (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). Kurt was checked into a drug rehab facility for his heroin addiction when he left and was reported missing on April 1st, 1994 (Grant, Cobain Case). During the disappearance of Kurt, Courtney Love stated in an interview with private investigator Tom Grant, “I told the press I had an OD for him (Kurt)” (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). Grant would later conclude in an investigation that Courtney used Kurt’s mother’s name in the missing persons report for Seattle police (Grant, Seattle Police Reports). Despite the circumstances, Courtney would evade being questioned by police. Grant’s investigation found Courtney’s aim in their marriage was to force herself into Kurt’s will. (Grant, Soaked in Bleach) On Kurt’s tour for the Nevermind album in Rome, GR, Courtney stated in an audio recording with Tom Grant, “He had an envelope saying Kurt wanted a divorce” (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). During the investigation of Kurt’s suicide note by the Seattle police, they concluded it was an authentic suicide note (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). Tom Grant believed it was an alternative note of wanting a divorce. (Grant, Soaked in Bleach) In an audio recording with Tom Grant, Courtney stated, “I’d lie it all the way to the bank” (Grant, Soaked in Bleach). Although her statement was used in a different context, her demeanor is how conspiracy theories sparked.
