  • Poor grammar

    Do better. You are journalists and can’t differentiate between was/wasn’t and were/weren’t for singular and plural.

  • Kurt Cobain

    Cobain had attempted suicide only a few months earlier, recall that he was even asked about this in an interview. His family believes it to have been suicide to this very day. I remember this well, I lived in Seattle in 1993-95. I wish people including investigators would allow him to rest in peace.
