April
5th:
Tuesday,
the date given for the official time of death within a 24hr window.
Tom Grant - "Regardless of what the Seattle police and
King County Medical Examiner's have said, Kurt Cobain died
Sunday evening, April 3rd
or early Monday
morning, April 4th... anyone claiming to have seen him
after
7:30 AM on Monday morning is either lying or they don't really
exist. Most information about these "witnesses" has
been deliberately planted in the media." This is also
reflected in the belief Kurt
was at Carnation, an attempt to suggest he was in no rush
to leave Seattle.
"The motive for planting phony stories in the press and, more
importantly, within the police department is critical as it
deflects attention away from the actions of certain persons
on other dates - the 3rd or 4th, for instance, which some believe
was when Kurt actually died. It may even have gone to the point
where the medical
examiners, assuming the absence of corruption, had doubts about
the time of death suggested by physical indicators - livor
mortis, skin
slippage, etc. - when an apparently large number of people
reported sightings or contact with Cobain after an initial
estimated time of death. When enough confusion surrounds a case,
the police are
much more apt to believe the testimonies of a smaller number of people
closer to the situation who they think can be trusted."
- Further Behind
the Scenes
At 2:50pm Grant believes he has located Kurt at The Western Evergreen
under his favourite alias: Bill Bailey. He offers to check it out
but Courtney tells him not to bother, she would take care of it.
She later tells Grant she called the room and it wasn't him.... but
just maybe she had located Kurt.
This is also believed to be the date given for the electrical
contractors to begin work on the house – “they
were concerned that there might be unauthorised people staying in
the house.”
Cognate to Heavier
than Heaven, in the afternoon
Courtney apparently sent Eric Erlandson to the Lake Washington
home to look for Kurt. “You
guys [Cali and Jessica] have to help me look,” he
ordered, and insisted they check the secret compartment in the
back of the
master
bedroom
closet, which Courtney had told him Kurt used. They didn’t
find the gun, insinuating Kurt was already dead. Eric then rushed
off to the property at Carnation where Kim Cobain was apparently
staying at the time. Kat Bjelland was also known to have lived
there. Gillian Gaar of The
Rocket was scheduled to do a phone interview
with Courtney that day but Eric phoned the magazine and told them
it would have to be postponed. Courtney continues
to hound Dylan, but he is just as puzzled as to Kurt's
whereabouts, apparently.
