“Soaked in Bleach,” the recently released documentary about Kurt Cobain’s death has got a lot of people talking. And one of the more notable people discussing Cobain’s death is Norm Stamper, Seattle’s former police chief.

According to Spin, the documentary “focuses on the conspiracy theory that the Nirvana frontman was murdered, and that his wife Courtney Love was behind the act.” While the plot line isn’t surprising (since Cobain’s suicide on April 4, 1994, plenty people have thought Cobain did not kill himself, but was murdered), Stamper’s thoughts on Cobain’s death in the movie are. Spin reports that in the film, Stamper states that he is willing to consider the “somewhat dubious theory” that Cobain’s death was caused by murder.

Spin reports that Stamper said the following things in the new film:

“‘We should in fact have taken steps to study patterns involved in the behavior of key individuals who had a motive to see Kurt Cobain dead. If in fact Kurt Cobain was murdered, as opposed to having committed suicide, and it was possible to learn that, shame on us for not doing that. That was in fact our responsibility.

It’s about right and wrong. It’s about honor. It’s about ethics. If we didn’t get it right the first time, we damn well better get it right the second time, and I would tell you right now if I were the Chief of Police, I would reopen this investigation.'”

And as Spin mentions in its piece: Stamper is not saying he thinks Cobain was murdered — he just wants a thorough investigation.

It sounds like this film is doing a great job at presenting the previously reported theories surrounding Cobain’s death. A recent AV Club review gives a thorough rundown on what film-goers can expect from the movie.
