In March of 2014, in anticipation of the 20th anniversary and the publicity it would bring to those who question their immediate conclusion of suicide, the Seattle Police Department made a pre-emptive strike by having their cold case detective, Mike Ciesynski, "review" the Cobain case and hold a televised press conference. Many in the media, along with uninformed cobain fans, reported this was a "Reopening" of the Cobain case. I'm sorry to say that it most certainly was not. This was simply another inept Seattle Police detective attempting to cover the tracks of his predessors by claiming to have "Reviewed" the Cobain case. SPD Detective Mike Ciesynski said he had done a thorough examination of the original investigation by reading and reviewing all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his recent conclusions. Part 1 of this "List" displays many of these highly flawed Seattle Police Reports that Detetive Ciesynski apparently glanced over without while wearing blindfolds. Without realizing it, Detective Ciesynski exposed more of the real truth behind the 1994 investigation into Cobain's death than I'm sure he intended to reveal with his SPD sanctioned televised interview. He also dug a hole far too deep for the Seattle authorities to climb out, without conceding, at the very least; The Cobain Case findings must be changed from "Suicide" to "Undetermined." Reminder: I'm not using my embedded You Tube videos for these pages because I don't trust their agressive "take down" censorship policies.

What Are The Odds? "I don't think they'd seen anybody with an overdose, in our county at least, that had that much of heroin inside of him." Three details are noteworthey here: A. They'd "never seen anybody" with an overdose, in King County, "with that much heroin inside of him." B. It is public knowledge and an established fact that Cobain died from a shotgun blast. C. He had an "extreme amount of heroin" in his blood..." As I mentioned in Part 1 of "The List" - These combined statements, alone, obliterate any possibility that this was a "CLASSIC... TEXTBOOK" case of suicide as Dr. Hartshorne so arrogantly described it in his VH1 televised interview shown in Part 1, Issue #8.

The "Fatal" Dose "I believe he gave himself a fatal dose of black tar heroin." Remember here, Detective Ciesynski was the person assigned to "review" the findings of the 1994 investigation into Cobain's death. This was not an accidental misstatement on Ciesynski's part. He repeats and reiterates his opinion in a number of statements here, after what can only be described as a very thorough review of the original investigation by claiming he read and reviewed all of the police, autopsy and toxicology reports in order to reach his conclusion.

"Heroin would have did the trick also." "He killed himself because of the shotgun blast, but the heroin would have did the trick [killed him] also." (These are Detective Ciesynski's exact words, not my improper use of English). There seems to be no doubt in the mind of Seattle PD's official spokesperson, Detective Mike Ciesynki, that there was no way Kurt Cobain could have survived the high dose of heroin/morphine found in his system during the autopsy.

The "Final Authority" "and actually, I'm the one who makes the decision, finally..."

Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Issue #1 -. This report lacks the common, "Date Written" insert. However, we can easily conclude that this report was written soon after the televised interview with Detective Ciesynski, because parts of this report contradict what he had previously stated on camera. Ciesynski Report, Pg. 1, Issue #2 - You'll notice that Detective Ciesynski writes, "I contacted and spoke with retired Detective Jim Yoshida, who was one of the original case detectives. The other original case detective, Detective Steve Kirkland, is unfortunately deceased." But wait, there was a third "original case detective" assigned to the Cobain investigation. A simple reading of the publicly released police reports under the "Freedom Of Information Act," clearly indicates that Sgt. Donald Cameron was the lead detective on Kurt Cobain's death investigation! So why did Detective Ciesynski fail to mention Sgt. Cameron in this report and why did he use the term, "the other detective..." (implying that there were only two), when he knew full well there was a third? This was no accidental mistake by Detective Ciesynski. He deliberately excluded the name of the Sgt. Cameron, the supervising Sergeant who was was in charge of Kurt Cobain's death investigation, because he had since retired when he learned he was about to be fired by by the 1994 Chief Of Police, Norm Stamper, for on-the-job corruption. "Yeah, let's just leave Cameron's name out of this report?"

Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Issue #2 - You'll notice the next underlined sentences on page 2 of this report where it reads: "Dr. Harrufff advised that there was a large amount of morphine, (heroin), and that tolerance is extremely important when evaluating opiate levels. With tolerant individuals, very high levels can be achieved far more than a non-tolerant person." Did you notice how Detective Ciesysnki suddenly contradicted his earlier televised statements that Kurt Cobain's heroin dosage was "Fatal" and that the Medical Examiner's office had never even seen such a high dose of heroin in an overdose in their county? So what happened after that televised interview with Detective Ciesysnki? Was he ordered by one of his superiors to walk-back his opinion and bring it in line with the "official Seattle police version" touted publicly for the past 28+ years? Ciesynski Report, Pg. 2, Issue #2 - "...I noticed that the Remington 20 gauge shotgun was lying on victim's chest with the receiver facing up. I also observed a spent yellow shell casing lying on a coat at the right side of the photo." (This would be on the left side of Cobain's body, but the right side of the photo Detective Ciesynski was describing.)

Now here's where page #2 of this report goes beyond strange: "I was aware that for the spent casing to have landed to the victims left, the weapon would have had to been turned 180 degrees from what it was found. It appeared evident to what had happened when the weapon was fired, but I requested assistance from SPD Range Armorer Curt Wilson." Detective Ciesysnski continues; "I showed Officer Wilson a photo of victim holding the weapon, but I did not identify the victim. Officer Wilson stated that the fired round would have ejected in the direction where it was found and the second round probably malfunctioned due to victim holding the barrel, which prevented free movement of the barrel. The weapon probably pivoted when fired, and fell to the present position. Held in this manner, the fired round would have ejected to where it was depicted in the photo."

Ciesynski Report, Pg. 3. - Note: Here is the conclusion apparently reached by Detective Ciesynski. As heard in the video clip of his televised interview while referring to not releasing the crime scene photos of Kurt's face, (which I agree with), he openly admits, "It wasn't going to change my opinion." So it's no surprise here that this report, obviously written by Detective Ciesynski, was simply a continuation in the cover-up of an extremely botched investigation by the original detectives sent to the scene of Cobain's death.

Ciesynski Report, Pg. 4. - Note: The last two pages of Detective Ciesynski's police report on his review of Kurt Cobain's death investigation have now been made public. This appears to be the fourth page of what was a form police report. I believe these two pages were not made available at first because the general public may have misunderstood these last two pages due to some of the standard form wording. For example; "There is probable cause to believe the SUSPECT committed the crime of CRIME." Although the wording there appears to be somewhat strange, I believe it's just part of this form and probably should be interpreted more accurately by the public as, "There is probable cause to believe the VICTIM [Kurt Cobain] committed the ACT of SUICDE." Even though the first page of this report indicates it was submitted by Detective Ciesynski, I find it interesting that we see no signature on the line given for Detective Ciesynski to sign the report. It was obvious that the Seattle Police Department needed to do some serious damage control after Detective Ciesynski's televised interview. Many of his publicized statements had never been acknowledged by the Seattle Police Department or the King County Medical Examiner's office during the past 20+ years since Cobain's death

Ciesynski Report, Pg. 5. - Note: This appears to be the fifth page of this form police report form. Although it reads - "Investigation" - the report is blank from that point on. This simply indicates to me that this report form can also be used for the purpose of reporting other crimes and incidents. I see nothing noteworthy here. It was only included because it was part of the public documents release included with the pages added above.

IN CONCLUSION I have my personal opinion about how and when Kurt Cobain died, along with a short list of those who I believe were involved in causing his death. As the private investigator embedded in this case before Cobain died as well as having direct involvement for seven months following his death, no one else has witnessed the events and heard the discussions that I have witnessed and heard. So I do have a right to my personal opinion. However, I've never asked anyone to agree with me about the cause of Cobain's death, even though on the surface, there appears to be much more evidence indicating foul play than suicide. I'm simply asking everyone with an ounce of common sense, to please review this case closely, and with an open mind, considering all of the material posted above. I believe it proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the investigation into Cobain's death was first bungled, then covered-up by the Seattle authorities. Therefore, the findings in the death of Kurt Cobain must be changed from "Suicide" to "Undetermined."
