Question
Apparenly they've found menthol-cigarettes in the ashtray in the room kurt was found dead. I know kurt only smoked Winstons so I guess the person smoking the menthols must have been there with him very short before or during his death. I know very little guys smoking menthols...
Who was that nanny again? Was it a woman?
Apparently someone also used his creditcard after his death. Now who the fuck would do that?? Even IF you discover him dead, who could possibly THINK of stealing his money. You must be very far away before you reason like that. The only kind of person that would do something like that is the same type that would kill for money, don't you think?

Answer
Hello Ben,

Frances had a male nanny named Michael DeWitt. I believe completly in the theory that Kurt may have been murdered, so your questions are being asked by fans everywhere. We don't know who attempted to use the credit card after his death, we only know that there were a few attempts. We also do not know if they were 100% accurate, we only know what has been reported.  It's quite possible that who ever was in that room with him that day, stole his credit card it is also possible that it was lost by Kurt and found by someone else.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the release history of NIRVANA from 1989-Present, questions about the history of the band, life & death of Kurt Cobain, the remaining members of NIRVANA, and most questions about his family. I can fact check tour dates, live shows, and just about anything related.

Experience

I helped out Carrie Borzillo, rock new editor for cdnow.com (now amazon.com) with fact checking, an interview, eyewitness account and was given special thanks in her book Eyewitness Nirvana. I've been studying NIRVANA since 1993 and have read literally thousands of books, magazine articles, and other publications throughout the last decade and a half. My reference collection is huge with just about every book, entire release catalog, and more from all around the world. I started volunteering for AllExpterts.com in 1999 before it was purchased by About.com sometime in the early 00's. You can find all of the answers to previously asked public question dating back to 1999. I wrote, edited, and published a NIRVANA newsletter (NIRVANA FOREVER), and online zine (About a Son; Lithium) that both ran 7 years on America Online. I've founded and sistered a lot of NIRVANA communities on LiveJournal.com (NIRVANA FOREVER, Kurt & Jim, and NIRVANA Elitests), and Yahoo.com (NIRVANA FOREVER).
