Mr. Misery
The L.A. Weekly expands on previous reports that singer/songwriter Elliott Smith may not have committed suicide after all.
A report released by the L.A. County Coroner's Office this week reveals that the department has left open the possibility that he was a victim of homicide:
According to the January 6 report, Smith’s girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba, told police that she and Smith were arguing when she locked herself in the bathroom. She said she heard Smith scream, opened the bathroom door and found him standing with his back to her. When he turned around, she told police, she saw the kitchen knife in his chest. She said he was standing up, conscious and gasping for breath. She told police that she pulled the knife out of his chest and saw "two cuts" before he walked away and collapsed.
Hmmm. Fans of Smith, posting at the singer's website, are still holding on to the belief that Smith killed himself -- and that the LA Weekly story got it wrong. To me, it all sounds a little dicey.
