pacitation or immediate death. The lethal dose of heroin has been known to go as low as 3 mg. The essay also includes a study of 3,586 heroin-related suicides. None of which involved a gun with the heroin, although some homicide cases studied paralleled Cobain's case. Very simply, Lewis' essay states there is no way Kurt Cobain could have pulled the trigger of a gun due to the extremely high level of morphine. This evidence leads to the conclusion someone else pulled the trigger. Many people look so distinctively at the black and white of an issue, they fail to see the gray.

It often happens when anyone famous dies. According to some, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Hoffa, and Tupac Shakur never did die. This is a whole different story. In this case, there is concrete, scientific fact. There is no way Kurt Cobain could have pulled the trigger to end his life. The only person devious enough to do that was Courtney Love.

By the way, the person who started the 'a**hole' chant at Cobain's vigil was Courtney...
