How did Elliott Smith die?

| 2 Comments

In a web-only story on the LA Weekly site, Christine Pelisek takes a look at the coroner's report on the Oct. 21 stabbing death of singer Elliott Smith. It's easy to see why the coroner investigator isn't so sure it was suicide, as first reported.

Also, today's print Weekly has a piece by Michelle Huneven on witnessing a fragmentary episode of road rage, gun and all, on the Pasadena Freeway.
