According to an excerpt from a new Alice In Chains biography, Courtney Love expressed doubts about Kurt Cobain's suicide and reached out to the AIC frontman for answers.

With the overwhelming success of rock-doc, Montage of Heck, and the overwhelming disgust surrounding counter-conspiracy film, Soaked In Bleach, Kurt Cobain's suicide has been making a media resurgence.

The latest bit of gas on the sad conspirators fire comes from the new book Alice In Chains: The Untold Story. A passage suggests that Courtney Love reached out to AIC frontman, Layne Staley to see if he was spending any time with Kurt the days leading up to his death.

The excerpt below (via Stereogum) shows Love trying to locate the whereabouts of Staley in an effort to find out what Cobain had been doing in his last days. She seemed to express that she was not happy that the outcome of suicide:

“A few weeks after Cobain’s death, Jim Elmer [Layne Staley’s stepfather] got a call from Courtney Love. She had been trying to get ahold of Layne and somehow got Elmer’s phone number. According to him, they spoke twice. ‘The gist of the conversation was that she was looking for Layne because she knew Layne and Kurt were friends and wanted to find out what happened the last few days, that she intimated to me that she was not happy with the outcome that it was a suicide."

The biographer goes on to suggest that Love linked the two frontmen together on account of them being part of the same social groups among other "musicians, drug users, and drug dealers"

Although Staley and Cobain had a tenuous relationship, The New York Daily News documented an infamous trip to Brazil where the two musicians conspired to ship heroin back to the US.

Recently, a Seattle TV host has attempted to file a case for the release of the Kurt Cobain death scene pictures in an attempt to prove Cobain was murdered. The case has since been dismissed.
