I was thinking today about a few things that don't make much sense to me. Maybe someone who knows a bit more can clear it up?
Kurt was an addict for years. Overdoses can be accidental, but I find it hard to believe that someone like him could accidentally overdose with the amount of heroin needed to give him three times a lethal dose and on some sites they say it was a record amount. Does the potency really fluctuate that much, especially since someone like Kurt would most likely have a regular supplier and not just find it from some guy on a street corner.
If he injected that much himself, and knew that it was a massive amount, it sounds like he was trying to kill himself anyway. If it was murder, did he inject that massive amount of heroin himself, and was then surprised at someone bursting in the room with a shotgun? Perhaps someone injected it into him against his will, but if that was the case there would be signs of a struggle, right? And the murderer would have to leave the room somehow, and if the windows were locked then the murderer probably didn't climb out the window. And if there was a stool/wooden chair, propped up against the door then the murderer couldn't have left through the doorway.
I suppose they could tell whether the heroin was injected before or after death, whether it had travelled much through the blood, etc. If it was murder then why would they inject him, especially with such a dose?
As much as I dislike Courtney Love and think the music and entertainment industries would be better off without her, I think he most likely did kill himself. The fact that they say he'd be dead before he even finished injecting that amount of heroin still puzzles me though.
