Yeah angle of the wounds is what I was thinking

I always thought that you know a self inflicted wound would look very different to a direct attack wound and I never got how they couldn't prove it from that

But yeah idk what do I know

Well, it does seem strange that she pulled the knife out herself. I didn't really know the circumstances under which it happened.

What a shitty situation all round

Suicide is horrible for sure but never having closure must be even worse

Elliott was still evolving as a musician too. From a Basement had stuff he had never written anything similar to before. He had a lot more to give.

The first time I listened to it, before the vox came in on some songs, I wasn't sure if it was him.
