He had a heart attack from too much cocaine. I guess it’s not impossible someone would intentionally kill themselves using coke, but it’s not very likely. He had access to way more effective drugs if that was the plan.
Like I said it was reported as a suicide. It was reported like that in the media MTV to for example as a suicide. Were you around when it was being talked about or are you relying on a wikipedia page? It isn’t the first time a wikipedia page presents a more preferred narrative.
Yes, I was an avid MTV watcher at the time. I feel like it’s more likely they made a mistake in the initial reporting than covered it up. He wasn’t that big of a celebrity, you don’t do that for a one hit wonder. In fact, if he hadn’t died I doubt anyone would even remember blind melon.
I don’t think anyone would have an interest in covering it up. Thanks to Cobain, suicide was en vogue at the time and it would benefit his image more to be a tragic case of losing a battle with mental illness instead of a depraved rising star who flew too close to the sun. I think the press went with suicide at first because it made for a better story and corrected themselves once more information became available.
No Rain by Blind Melon… literally a song about deep depression with upbeat music
He committed suicide not long after that song hit the charts.
Looking at wikipedia it was longer than I thought
He ODed. So he did kind of kill himself, but it wasn’t a suicide.
Yeah he OD’ed, except at the time it was reported as suicide. Its fine whitewash is a part of history.

We will just have to agree to disagree. Who do you think would have a interest in covering it up? The media or those who loved him.
