Kurt Cobain death conspiracy film Soaked in Bleach gets trailer
New docudrama examines theories surrounding the Nirvana star's death

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain died 20 years ago last Saturday and now, the first look trailer for a docudrama examining his passing has been released.
Interviews with witnesses and experts feature in Soaked in Bleach, which offers an as-yet-unseen perspective of the tragic 1994 events.
Narrator and former detective Tom Grant was hired by Cobainās widow Courtney Love to track down her husband when he went missing, just days before his body was found at their Seattle home.
The rock starās death was ruled a suicide but there have been multiple conspiracy theories since. Grantās private investigations reportedly determined that there was enough evidence to suggest that foul play could have occurred.
One such (repeatedly debunked) theory explored is that Cobainās death by a self-inflicted gunshot was in fact a murder, plotted by Love so that she could inherit his fortune.
The film comes despite the following statement from Detective Mike Ciesynski of the Seattle Police Department: āSometimes people believe what they read ā some of the disinformation from some of the books ā that this was a conspiracy. Thatās completely inaccurate. Itās a suicide. This is a closed case.ā
Benjamin Statler is directing Soaked in Bleach, which also includes speculative dramatic re-enactments of the aftermath. Tyler Bryan has been cast as Cobain, with Sarah Scott playing Love and Daniel Roebuck taking on the role of Grant.
The title is taken from a lyric penned by Cobain for Nirvanaās 1992 hit āCome As You Areā. The movieās Facebook page reads ācoming soon in 2014ā but an exact realise date is yet to be confirmed.
