Courtney Love Sought the Full Cobain Death File in 1995, Documents Reveal

New documents reveal that in 1995 Courtney Love’s lawyer asked the Seattle Police Department to hand over the complete investigation file on Kurt Cobain’s death with no copies kept by the department; the request, tied to concerns about material being sold, was denied. The file reportedly included undeveloped film and private letters. Love and Cobain’s family have supported the suicide verdict, though the group 'Who Killed Kurt?' continues to seek a reopening; SPD later released some photos in 2014 and maintains the suicide ruling despite ongoing homicide theories.
