Anti D wrote:Hey daglord what did you think of "Soaked in Bleach?" Honestly I felt that while the source material is fascinating it came off very amateurish. Honestly lots of it seemed like a weak episode of forensic files/unsolved mysterious/america's most wanted from the late 90's. I have seen more interesting mysteries or "Whodunits" on Dateline on NBC.
I will admit it was VERY late when you posted it and I watched it half asleep in the middle of the night and missed the final 20 minutes. What do you think is the biggest piece of evidence AGAINST it being a suicide?
I know people to say the level of heroin in his system and the diff it would make operating a shotgun. I can speak from personal experience what one person can handle on opiates can be entirely different from the next depending on tolerance.

hate to comment on something without watching it a few times... but...
it's really hard to say. one thing is for certain though, courtney is caught on numerous audio tapes lying over & over. intentionally deceiving, misdirecting & being a straight up nuisance to the investigation.
she lied about the location of the suicide note & they even found a practice letter of her trying to duplicate kurt's handwriting. kurt's friend, & nirvana's attorney, is on record as saying that the note was NOT in kurt's handwriting.
almost EVERY TIME the PI mentioned that he wanted to talk to the ex-boyfriend/nanny, courtney made sure he shot up first & was basically useless. she kept control of everyone afterwards by being their dopeman. during his final days, she also appeared to be more concerned about what he was doing (money, divorce, etc) than his overall well-being.
& there was really no investigation into the case. It was deemed suicide within hours of the police's arrival & the crime scene photos were never even processed. autopsy and toxicology reports weren't even finished when they closed the case. there are a couple people within the SEA PD that feel the case needs to be re-opened.
of course, there is also the fact that he shot himself up with over 3x any functioning limit. but that is subjective.
also the location of the ejected shell was fishy (but I don't really remember this part much, have to watch again).
^^^^^ initial thoughts. like I said, I only watched it once. will be watching again.
with all that said, I really hate docudramas. this one wasn't so bad, but I can usually do without all the re-enactments. cheesy for sure.
