Book excerpt: The death of singer-songwriter Elliott Smith has been an open case for the last eighteen years. The Oscar-nominated musician died of two stab wounds in the chest after a fight with his girlfriend Jennifer Chiba on October 21st, 2003. Even though his death was first reported by the media as an alleged suicide, a police investigation was reopened after the results of the autopsy were made public. Because of Elliott's history with drug addiction, depression, and suicide ideation, it was not difficult for many people, fans included, to believe he had killed himself. However, the circumstances of his death, the findings of the autopsy, as well as a series of inconsistencies and discrepancies have left open the possibility of homicide.The book is written from the perspective of Alyson, a real-life fan who undergoes her own investigation, motivated by her sense of justice and desire to determine the truth. If the exact circumstances of Elliott Smith's tragic death cannot be established beyond a reasonable doubt, after some persistent and in-depth research of the case and the insight of more than 40 people, the story that emerges is quite different from the one that has been too often portrayed in the media. Even though Elliott had well-documented problems, the events surrounding his death appear to be much murkier than previously thought, making it more difficult to believe his death was a clear-cut suicide.
