Episode Eight: Elliott Smith

 

 

Elliott Smith was an Oscar nominated singer/songwriter who, in his songs, spoke of his struggles with drugs, alcohol and depression.

No one was too surprised when, on October 21 2003, Elliott Smith was found dead from an apparent suicide. But then the coroner's report raised a new possible cause of death - murder.

Did this tortured artist, who openly spoke of suicide in the past, really kill himself? Or was his girlfriend responsible for his death?
