Kurt Cobain’s lawyer claims Nirvana star DIDN’T write his own suicide note as conspiracy theories resurface on 25th anniversary of his death
The 27-year-old's death in his home in Seattle, Washington, in 1994 has spawned dark theories for years
KURT Cobain conspiracy theories have resurfaced on the 25th anniversary of the star's death - as his lawyer claims the singer wasn't the author of his suicide note.
On April 5, 1994, Cobain was found dead in his home in Seattle, Washington with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to police reports.
But ever since his death, conspiracy theories have surrounded the incident, suggesting that the star was actually murdered.
Despite being debunked by multiple sources, including the official police report, theorists and close friends continue to speculate about the star's death.
In the 2015 documentary Soaked in Bleach, Cobain's former lawyer Rosemary Carroll stated that he does not believe Cobain wrote the suicide note that was found in his house.
As reported by the , Carroll contacted private investigator Tom Grant soon after the star's death to make the claim, and recorded the phone call.
In the documentary, Carroll, a close friend of Cobain's, says: "I don't think he wrote it.
"I feel the same way I felt when I read it.
"He didn't write it."
Many conspiracy theorists share the same view on the troubled singer.
They believe that the last four lines of the letter - the only section that alludes to suicide - is written in different handwriting to the majority of the document.

The rest of the letter, they believe, is just an announcement that Cobain is leaving his wife and retiring from the music business.
Experts have compared other examples of Cobain's handwriting to the last lines of the note in the past, and found discrepancies.
In the series Unexplained Mysteries, handwriting expert Reginald Alton said he believed a second hand was at work.
