Was he barefoot? This. Japs used to kill themselves with rifles and use their toe to pull the trigger. Jeff Cooper said they would remove the bullet first and blow their entire head off. |

Afghanistan police had a detainee in our COP. They decided to let the detainee pray. The police weren't paying attention. The detainee stopped his prayer, knocked over the afghan police officer, stole his AK, and put 3 rounds into his chest in a matter of about 10 seconds.
I kept him alive. He actually lived for 2 weeks after we evac'd him. Commander was pissed..because we had to provide security on the fucker... |

He also had at least 10 times the amount of heroin in him that would result in an OD. Even a normal dose of heroin will cause a person to nod off pretty hard, and the last thing they would be thinking about is offing themselves. Even if they wanted to, in their state of inexplicable bliss, they wouldn't be able to manage the shotgun. Now up their dose to even 5x what a normal hit is, and they are catatonic. He had an insane level of heroin in his system. It was simply impossible for him to do anything after receiving an excessively lethal dose. He was murdered, from a strictly investigative perspective. This. Even the Seattle police chief at the time admits they fucked up the investigation or lack there of. It's not about what you know it is about what you can prove. Where was the evidence that it wasn't a suicide? Who would they prosecute? Motive is nice and all...but without evidence it wouldn't even make it to trial. Nobody wants a conviction. Just have the truth be known. That's why the documentary was released. Watch it. It's not conspiracy theory bullshit. Just watch it. |

My friend is a Paramedic and lots of times people f--- it up with long shotguns. They lean over to pull the trigger and all they succeed in doing is blowing their face off(non fatal).

My aunt killed herself with just a plain old fudd deer rifle, point blank to the chest, toe in the trigger. She went out to the barn so the family wouldn't have to clean up the house.

I thoroughly believe Kurt Cobain did not kill himself. If Courtney didn't pull the trigger herself, she certainly had a direct roll in his death. You just don't inject that much heroin without becoming a vegetable and still have enough coordination to shoot yourself. He was definitely "helped" |

No he wasn't. They also found the shotgun shell on the opposite side of him where it would've ejected. That combined with the 3 x fatal dose of heroin in his system. He put his needle away. Then got the shotgun. No way. Seattle PD determined it was a suicide the Same day finding him. Didn't treat it as a proper death investigation. Watch the documentary. It's from the private Investigator that was hired by Courtney three days before his death because he was "missing".

That documentary certainly painted a different picture, then suicide. It was pretty well made, and presented a good argument. If a person was interested in such crime documentaries, or curious about an alternative explanation for his death, it's worth a watch. I don't know, he had a fairly messed up life, with messed up people in it. Is it possible he was murdered? Sure. Do I think Courtney Love could have had something to do with it. Absolutely. She's an amoral fruit basket, and had motive. Do I believe that is what happened? ...I don't know. But it was a good documentary. |

45" long (w/ choke) with at least a 12" LOP (and probably more like 13-14") so about 33" from the end of the choke to the trigger. Easy for an average sized guy to put the end of the barrel in his mouth and reach the trigger with a finger.

The barrel length listed for that model is 30 inches. The compensator adds a few inches. That would put it at around 34 inches total barrel length. I grabbed a yard stick and was easily able to put it against my mouth and have my index finger extend past the end of the yardstick. I'm 6' 2" |

I had a very petite lady kill herself with a 12ga 870. She tied a scarf to the trigger, looped it around the buttstock and the pulled it by hand. One other guy actually mounted a pulley-type system to the door and ran a string to the trigger. Most folks just reach with a finger or thumb.
